    Height: 5ft 3ins

    Start Weight (March 1): 190.2
    Goal Weight (April 1): 185 lbs - 5 lbs from where I am now, would be an achievement

    Success this week: completed day 2 of my plan to start exercising twice a day.

    Weakness - getting dress and going down to the gym in my basement - this is really sad, as I have everything at hand, but I just procrastinate too much, then decide to leave it for another day and it never gets done.

    Weight -/+ this week: 0
    Weight -/+ this month:

    Successes/struggles this week: My struggles will be dealing with a bad big toe and bum hip on my left, make running impossible, squatting and P/U's/Burpee's are almost impossible too. And I am dealing with a nagging sinus infection. But other than that I am fit as a cello!
    I think a pound a week should be doable.

    > UPDATE <
    I forgot to account for soccer season starting which because I can not run at this time I mostly just stand there and coach. This will take me out of the gym three days a week or at least greatly reduce my W/O time. I may have to learn to get up at 0400 to get in a W/O before work. YIKES!
    I am going to stick with my goal of 185 but it just got real up in here!
    Good luck y'all!
