Battling Obesity

February is always one of the busiest times of the year for me - next to April and then June - for my bookkeeping, accounting and income tax business. It’s obvious that I can’t keep up with a simple task of documenting and recording all of my food intake, and counting points trying to lose weight.

The good news is, that during this period, I weighed myself only twice. On the morning of Friday February 22, 2008 I weighed 273.5 lbs and on March 1st, 2008 I was back up to 276.0 lbs. The bad news is that I’m still heading upwards and on Friday March 7, 2008 (yesterday morning) I am back up to 279.0 lbs.

Days Twenty-four to Thirty, still trying to lose weight (Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur)

Sorry for delays … I am quite busy at the month-end time, and mid-month (for my offline work) and I accidentally uploaded my pictures to my laptop and deleted the pictures from my camera .. On my laptop, I deleted the pictures again, because I thought they were still in the camera. I assure everybody that I am still following my “diet” (at least counting the points), despite the slow posting in here and lack of pictures

Day One .. Third Try ..

I’m back on my diet .. so-to-speak. By diet, I am meaning that I am really eating whatever the heck I want, but I’m also keeping track by writing down everything as I am able, and counting points as if I was still back on Weight Watchers. Most of the points can be found on my “recipe/points” page or found elsewhere. Hopefully, besides portion control .. this journal will help keep me on the straight and narrow (losing weight) and help me help myself get back into shape.

The posts of my daily meals will start with .. “THE HART-SERIES:” .. in case you wanted to skip over 100% of these boring articles which are basically my daily journal. If I don’t post something daily, I’ll just recap as soon as practical .. but don’t worry - I’m still writing everything down daily.
