One week down, abunch more to go…
So, last Monday I started on a weight loss program to shed some L-B’s. I believe that before I started, I weighed over 340 lbs, and today I am down to 333. Not bad for 1 week, even though a lot of that was water weight. In order to make things a little easier and more hi-tech, I wrote a couple of simple webapps that I could use with my Blackberry to keep track of things:
I also started the 100 Push Ups program so that I can do something physical at the same time. My initial test: 5 push-ups. Better than 0 I guess 
At the end of one week, I think that things are going swimmingly. My first goal is to hit 310 for my niece’s wedding at the end of August. I should be able to hit this goal if I keep at it. If anyone feels like the simple web apps would work for them and would like the source code or for me to make them useful for others, just let me know, I’d be happy to help. (The data entry page is a simple webform that’s easily navigatable with mobile devices)

I started doing wall ups recently… I doubt that I could do a single regular push up no matter how hard I tried.
We recently got the Wii Fit. It does a great workout and we seem to be actually using it more frequently than I thought we would.
If you have a Wii I am sure it would be fun family exercising. We have hoola hoop contest. Every time we get on we can see who has the highest score and we try to beat their score. It helps to keep me motivated to do more (Sometimes to much).
