Weight Loss Goals

Hey everyone, I want to talk you all about something rather important today in the hopes that it will help keep me accountable to my goals.

I've always loved food, heck I wouldn't be doing this blog if I didn't. I'm a red meat kind of guy and I've never met a cream sauce I didn't like. All of this has caused me to struggle with my weight since high school. I've always carried my weight well so most people who see me don't think I'm quite as overweight as I am. Things really came to a head last year when I was participating in a couple of weddings and I was really alarmed at how large I have gotten. I've finally decided to try and do something about it.

I'm a big guy. I am under no allusions about my innate size. As envious as I am of my slighter friends, I know that is not in the cards for me.

I currently weight 280 lbs. My long term goal is 220 lbs. I would like to lose 30 lbs by the time grad school starts and 40 by my sister's wedding. I'm going to be doing this my way, which means good, nutritionally dense food, nothing diet, and plenty of exercise. In support of that, I'm going to be making a new tag for recipes on my blog called "Healthy Living." While not every new recipe will come with this tag, you will certainly see more healthy foods coming from my corner of the internet. I also hope to provide people with some accurate info on food and health that I can back up with reliable sources.

I've never wanted this blog to become a diary, and I certainly don't plan on starting now, but I will update sporadically.

So please, send me your good vibrations as I try to make radical changes in my life.
