Why I want to take these steps to get to a healthy weight this time:
1. Me and the gf want to have a baby in the next five years. I want to be the one to carry the kid. I want to be at a healthy weight going into it.
2. I had another episode with my back (not quite as bad as before). I want to finish losing the weight to take strain off of my lower back.
3. I want to do all within my power to lead a healthy and long life. I want the quality of life to be high and I want to be super active.
4. I want to feel like my gf and I look good together.
5. I want to climb mountains and hike a lot again this summer.

Week 1
Challenges this week.
For some reason despite working out and eating healthy in healthy/proper proportions I have actually gained two pounds from last week?! (WTF) This would be way discouraging if I did not already feel good results in my clothing and I did some drinking this weekend so it is possible that it is bloat... :(
Successes this week.
1. I joined the gym on Monday and have worked out 4 times. I will be going again today as soon as I get a few chores done.
2.I already look better and can feel a difference in my clothes.
3. I come home from the gym and feel a marked emotional high. Returning to the gym this week I wondered why I had ever left. I just felt soooo good.
4. Using an accurate pedometer I found that my new job keeps me on my feet way more than my old job. (I honestly don't sit down all day long.) I am hitting 10,000-12,000 steps before even leave work to go to the gym.
Goals for the coming week.
1. Make sure I am getting 5 fruits and veggies a day.
2. Get 8 cups of water a day.
3. Start doing push-ups every single morning.
