Round 1: FIGHT!

Alright so my final push to 250 started today! First the good, I got to the gym and I stayed within my calories today. Now bad is my starting weight is a little higher then anticipated, 291...ouch. 
But that is OK because it is a start. I have decided to go to the gym 5 times a week. My plan is to go in at 5:00 am and be done by 5:40 am. Hopefully I can stick with it...3 days are for lifting and 2 are for running.
The difference this time around is that my wife is going to be my accountability partner over the next several months I look forward.to her keeping me on the straight and narrow.
I am shooting for just over a pound per week so this journey should be over in August.  Stay tuned for more frequent updates and all the related excitement that goes with it!
