Life Changes
I just thought I would start to mention some life altering changes I have been going through recently.
Two Things, First I decided that I would no longer be fat. I have started a rigorous work out routine, and am keeping myself on a 2000 calorie diet. I spend at least an hour a day, every working day, and sometimes Saturdays, at the gym. I have a membership at Pure Fitness, which is on lake union near the Thrift Books Warehouse.
My daily workout is not time related, but calorie. I use an elliptical trainer, which has a digital screen displaying how many calories I have burned working out. My daily goal is 800 calories burned which I can do in about an hour. Some days I run a little more intently and will burn 900 calories in 70-80 minutes. The last two Saturdays, not including yesterday, I got off after 70 mins, and then got back on to bring my total calorie burn to 1000 calories.
So far I am loosing about 3.5 pounds per week. My weight goes up and down, but the peeks and valleys are continually going down. I am using a web site to track my weight, body fat, and daily calorie intake called fitday.com. My Journal can be accessed here:

The other change is I have started to get up earlier in the morning. I have pulled it off by going to bed at around 9:30. I have been plagued with waking up late for a long time, and I think part of the reason is sleep apnea. But until I can see a doctor about it, I am going to bed earlier in the night. So far all this last week I made it to work before 8:30 am, a few days right at 8am, which is a large feat for me. But I think I will keep at it until I am waking up at 6 am and getting to work by 7.
