MORE IDYLLIC, LESS TYPICAL

Join me on my road to better fitness. I'll be posting thoughts, successes, challenges I've overcome, and visions of where I'm headed physically.

For me the last two years have been about increasing flexibility to facilitate a better golf swing. I think I'm finally ready to change my shape.

It's wild to say it, but I'm a couple of short years away from the big 40, and I don't want to be looking like I am.

I've never spent a lot of time at the computer at home - that's my excuse for posting so sporatically before, but with the ease of the blogger app on my iphone it's going to be a lot easier to record progress, gain positive strength from my friends, and benefit from project Vin.

uh, here I go again?

There isn't really anything to say except, it's time to start again.  Discipline in eating is not something that I ever even though about growing up.  It's only been the last 10 years that I wasn't in perfectly good form eating whatever, whenever I wanted.  Anyway, I've at least identified what is required.

To start again I'm in the middle of a full 24 hour water-only fast.  Over the past two weeks I've tracked my caloric intake at roughly 4,000 per day (no wonder I've been holding this steady state weight nearly 90 pounds over my marraige number).  The fast today is to designate the start to my new daily number of 2,000.

I've been using the calorie counter app on my Droid Incredible to keep track of what I eat.  It's very easy.  I am going to continue to eat whatever I want, but stop eating every day when I hit 2,000.  This should allow me to trend down towards my target body fat percentage.  As I log days of eating the right number of calories, I'll start worrying about what I eat, but for now, my only focus is going to be quantity.

Peace!
