Updates
Whew, been a couple days since I last updated. Let me try to remember (I gotta get a tracking system up and running!)
Last Thursday, 7/8, I played a crappy game of rball and Mark beat me handily, 2-0. The sudden and random falling down near the beginning of the first game didn’t help, either.
Friday I went to the gym and weighed in: 281! So I lost 4 lbs in the first week. I think that was a pretty good start. I also did some intervals on the exercise bike and some dips/pullups on the counterbalance machine in the weight room.
This past weekend I didn’t do any formal exercising since I had Alex, just the normal running around after kid stuff. 
We checked out some new parks and playgrounds.
Looking forward to getting back in the groove this week. I think the first week went really well considering I was sorta ramping up and not going full-bore on the exercises. I think watching what I ate made a huge difference.
The obvious reason for your success in weight loss this week is the fact I killed you in racquetball. Lose to me more often and the weight will come flying off.
It will be interesting to see how consistent weight loss will be from week to week. Also the thing I find hard to do is juggling exercising with a busy schedule. It’s just too easy to skip a couple of days when you need to do other things. The other thing that’s dangerous is getting bored with your exercise / diet routine. We’ll have to think of ways to keep it fresh.
