Welcome to the "No Fat Randys" campaign!
After a significant beating from my doctor, and a good long (scary) look in the mirror, it is time for me to lose some weight. I am not going to tell you what my starting weight is because it is embarrassing, but I need to lose about 100 pounds.
I am not going to attempt to tackle all of it at once. That would be stupid. I have broken the goal out in to smaller, more manageable pieces. One step at a time. Healthy. Not going to starve myself or take pills that give would give me the runs every time I eat.
I am not going this alone. I have the wonderful support of Nora and Marisa. Believe me when I tell you that there is no luckier man in the world than me.
Why am I blogging about this? Well, as I have learned in the past few days, one of the fundamentals of goal setting is to make your goals as public as you are comfortable with. Let friends and family know what's going on. This does a few things:
- Makes you more accountable for achieving your goal.
- The more folks who know about your goal, the more support you'll get!
- If what I am doing and posting can help someone else, right on!
I will be using some very good online tools and utilities to keep track of my progress and make sure I am on task. I will post links to keep y'all in the loop.
If you have a comment or suggestion, share it! I would love to hear from you.
Lastly, if I have posted something that is you think is helpful to others ... let them know! Feel free to pass the link to anyone and everyone. I'm not shy. Obviously.
- Randy
