OMG

Scales don't lie....unfortunately.

I stepped on the scale at my day job this morning and was shocked at what I saw. The expectation was that it would probably be a few pounds up from where it was a month ago at 292. It was a 308. I have never weighed that much in my entire life. Ever.

Before even fixing dinner tonight, the first thing is to ride the bicycle for 11 minutes. Breakfast was three banana nut muffins and about 8 oz. of orange juice. There was enough time to prepare my inexpensive lunch for the entire week. I prepared a pound of dried black-eyed peas which were divided into 7 containers that I can easily take to work. They are low-fat and fairly low-calorie (I will have to dig out my nutrition book for values). It also means that I can sleep a little later this week since lunch is already covered.

I am excited because at my second job (Home Depot) we have the annual Biggest Loser contest beginning this week. I will participate and with the help from my friends there, reaching the goal of 100 pounds by New Year's Eve (208) will certainly be attainable. I will post recipes on here as they are found/submitted.

Stay tuned.
