Week 2 of this journey


So, Week 2 was just okay. I am down 2lbs for a total of 7lbs since I started. I didn’t hit my goal of being down 3-4lbs this week, but it’s okay. Now, it is time to get focused for week 3, which is great because I am on a staycation this week and now I can use the gym and continue to measure our my  foods and count my points. This week, I also made two weeks without soda and also created a Twitter page for the blog. You can now follow me on Twitter @themeltingman81. I even have followers from Dublin Ireland and Canada. It’s so crazy that my little blog has reached that far. Now, week 3 is all about getting refocused. I am going to try to use the gym 3 times this week and shoot for a 3lbs weight loss to hit double digits.

Week 1...DONE!!!


My official week 1 weight is 209lbs, which is 5lbs down from last week. I feel AWESOME!!!

Here are my big wins from last week…

1.       No soda at all.

2.       Planning my meals the day before or in the morning.

3.       Logging my food using my app.

4.       Creating a Facebook page for The Chronicles of the Melting Man to help hold myself accountable.

5.       Doing a little more exercising rather it be in the gym or more walks with the dog.

6.       Bringing my own food and snacks to work.

My goals for week 2…

1.       Continue logging my foods using the app.

2.       Trying to use the gym more for at least 30 minutes.

3.       Doing 1 or 2 more blogs during the week.

4.       Lose another 3 to 4 lbs.

5.       Try to get more Facebook “Likes” for The Chronicles of the Melting Man page.

Now, it’s all about one day at a time. I am happy with my week 1 results. I am in no rush to lose more weight, although it will be nice. I am just thinking about my motto for this journey “Think healthy, not just thin”.  I am doing this to be healthy and the Journey continues...
