Here it is, the first journal entry of my website. I am excited. To give you a sense of my daily routine, this is what I do. I get up in the morning about 8 oclock and put on some clothes and drive to work. Before I break into my first cup of water or my Slimfast, I weigh myself on the office medical scale. While this isn't the best method, because the scale can fluxuate by as much as 2 or 3 pounds, depending on what I am wearing, it gives me a good estimate of the trend. I learned this the hard way by weighing myself on Monday to find that I had gained a couple pounds, then the next day when I wore different shoes, I had lost them! So on Mondays when I weigh in I am going to wear my heaviest shoes and the same work outfit.
