First Post - The Road to Recovery

Well...I am trying to get this going while I have this great brainstorm...

I am 2 weeks past my 32nd birthday and I just got weighed in at a hefty 236! To be honest, I'm feeling pretty crappy about a lot of things in my life and I can trace 50% of it to health / weight issues.

So, while not entirely an original idea, I came up with a catchy slogan that will lead me towards a goal that will hopefully lead towards some increased happiness in my life...

50 in 50...as in I'm going to lose 50 pounds in 50 weeks. 50 weeks is my 33rd Birthday...which ties in pretty nicely for me...

I don't exactly have it all planned out at this point...something along the lines of eating better and becoming more active, but I need to keep the momentum of this thing going...

The blog is intended for me to record my thoughts / issues on the subject, act as a recording device on progress, and I thought it would be interesting to read when I make it to the end and reach my goal...which is 186 pounds by March 10th...
