On my old blog, I had started keeping track of my weight loss efforts. Like a lot of things, that project fell to the wayside, and so did my attempts at improving the state of my personal health. As I begin to close in on my 31st birthday, it’s become very apparent to me that I need to start taking this stuff seriously.

I’ve set up iCal to remind me to take daily blood pressure readings and weekly weight measurements. When I weighed myself yesterday, I came in at 248 pounds. This is actually a 3.5 pound loss from the last time I weighed myself (about a month ago), so that’s a start. I can’t attribute the loss to anything specific. I’ve been eating more salads than I used to, and I started taking walks again on a regular basis.

I’ll keep this site updated as I track my progress.
