I become a Jock

Well the work life is interesting as now that I find my transfer date is set it not too miraculously is harder to focus on the tasks at hand. I don’t want to simply coast through the remainder of my time with these clients. However, the idea of ridding myself from them does give me a particularly high level of joy.

The change is not what I went to school for but it has been a hobby of mine for some time. It could be a good step towards finding where my true passions are.

So I have decided to make an attempt at some sever weight loss. My goal is to have lost 20 pounds by August 5^th. Last month I lost 16 pounds so it is not entirely unreasonable as a goal. To facilitate I dropped 300 bones on gear for both myself and my wife. Also I have pledged my efforts to a weekly softball league. The basic thought line here is that increased exercise plus the diet that has been working well will symbiotically provide the results.

Here is where my logic could go wrong. Aside from walks that happens on a 2-3 times a week basis I have not done anything to lose the weight aside from proper diet. So the case could be made that perhaps a measure of my weight loss could be attributed to a decline in muscle mass. However once I have begun to regularly work out. This muscle mass will actually cause my weight score to increase.

Either way 20lb’s is a fairly lofty goal. Coming out to a loss of .4 pounds a day for 50 days as I started Sunday the 18^th.

There’s also probably something fairly medically bad about loosing 37 pounds in 3 months. Still a goal is a goal and I set it. Off we go.

Happy Monday
