It's a sunny, relatively warm day for March in the nation's capitol and I am feeling slightly energetic, thus the decision to post here on my nearly abandoned blog. Actually, it hasn't been abandoned, but certainly posting on the home page has lacked while I have added information to other sectons.

So, what's new you ask? Well, I turned 40 in November and made a decision shortly before - that life was going to change. What that meant to me was I was tired with all the crap that had been piling on over the years on the health side of things. Low good colesterol, high bad colesterol, high blood pressure, sleep apnea - the list goes on. So, I decided to take charge. Most of these items were related to me being overweight. At 5'9", I had tipped the scales at 202. It was one of those 5 lb a year programs where your weight just kept going up year after year, until finally you hit a magical number... for me 200... and you say "holy crap - I am fat!".

So, I found NutriSystem. In the space of a few months, I had lost my goal - which was to get to 175 and the weight kept coming off. I finally stopped loosing after settling at between 158 and 159 which is where I am today. A lot of people were skeptical of the whole NutriSystem diet but I have to say, it honestly worked. Better yet, it actually taught me how to eat. For almost the last 3 months now, I have only been supplimenting with NutriSystem food - which means I am eating healthy on my own. This means I am actually making GOOD CHOICES. For me, it was all about portion control and cutting out sugar. I'm a nutrisweet/splenda dude now. No more million calorie starbucks drinks, no more 2 pop tarts for breakfast.

I look and feel better.. And thats a good thing.
