Ahh.. some progress.  My LiveHealthyAmerica.orgdashboard shows a 1.98% weight loss during my first week which is right on par with my team.  I just wish I could say my health was on par with them as well, but that’s okay.  I’m seeing and feeling the progress finally.  Being the first time I’ve really set my mind towards fitness I have now learned that the first week is the most difficult hurdle.. very much like it was when I chose to quit smoking.  Apparantly 1-week is a psychological hurdle for most.

Through my travels on the ether I’ve met a few others that are on a similar quest towards a healthier self.  Most recent one being Jay Martinez who frequents the twitter and utterz circuit as well as maintains his own blog titled My Cup Runneth Over!

Jay has been closely follwing the Discovery Channel’s National Body Challenge and has been working with them to incorporate some of their programming into his blogging. 

No matter what program you think is right for you, a key ingredient is to find other people that have similar goals and beginning at a similar level to share encouragement and motivation.
