I am starting a new weekly post- that will chronicle my progress trying to lose weight- and become more fit.  I am not ready to disclose my current benchmarks, but will call today Day 0. Then every week I will post my overall change in weight, body fat, and anything else I find important for the week. I will say that as of this morning, I am the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I would assume this is the highest body fat % also.

I will weigh and measure myself Wednesdays mornings, upon first getting out of bed. Initially, I will be using three different sites to calculate my body fat %:
http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/body-fat-percentage-calculator
http://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/diet.html
http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/
I hope that as I do more research- I will find which site is more accurate, and use just one. But until then I will post the change in my average body fat % between the three.

I am also going to try to use http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ to track my daily eats and workouts. There are free iPhone/iPod, Android, and BlackBerry apps that also allows you to track things offline. (Since I have an iPod, and don’t have an always on Data Connection, this is perfect!)

Short Term Goals:
My goals over the next 30 days

• Work up to 200minutes+ per week of cardio
• Cut out all soda/red bull/sweets & desserts
• Check in every Wednesday, but ONLY on Wednesdays.
