I had no idea when I started this how much work it would actually be to create the videos, blog entries etc. Not that it's not a lot of fun, it's just that it came at a very busy time of year for me. I have just switched my web hosting over to Squarespace.com to make it easier for me to update the site. It's a strong learning curve for me, but I think it'll make it much easier for me to live up to the obligation of staying on top of this website. PLUS, they've got a built in mechanism to leave comments etc., so leave comments anytime you want - unless of course you're one of those spamming jerks, in that case... rot in hell. :-)

Here's my quick update, and soon I'll get the videos done and posted that go along with this info.

By some freak of nature, the first week I was watching what I ate I lost 16 1/2 pounds.  This is not possible,  but it did happen. I think it had as much to do with the time of day that I weighed and other factors as much as anything else, but heck, I'll take it.  Of course, not to tip off what happened next, but I did "gain" 4 of those pounds back the next week.

It was a rough week with arthritis pain and an outbreak of gout, which I'm working hard at getting under control.  It makes it very difficult to start an excercise regimine when it hurts just to walk. But then again, it's getting control of stuff like this that this program and website is all about.

Pictures and video are coming soon.
