Chris Reimagined

Day 5 of the my reimagining and things seem to be moving along better than expected.

Major developments today:

1.  I put on a collared shirt with buttons and didn’t have any problems with it!!

Now, unless your an overweight male with a big tummy, you may not know what problems I’m talking about.  But sometimes having a large stomach can open the buttons around the midsection.  It’s kind of embarrassing.   But it didn’t happen to me today.  Aww yeah!

2.  I went to the next notch on my belt

Okay, so it wasn’t but a week or so ago that I had to loosen my belt, but hey, progress is being made!

3.  I didn’t pig out

As I shared on Twitter earlier, we ordered BBQ for lunch at work today.  Items not consumed: fries, beef.  Items consumed: turkey, grilled veggies.  Reasons for not eating the fries: I didn’t want to blog that I had fallen off the wagon.  Awww yeah!

4.  I worked out

Okay, so that’s not so weird … except … I’ve been feeling kind of under the weather.  My son has bronchitis and perhaps the flu or RSV or something else and I think I’m fighting it off.  Plus, I got like 4 hous of sleep, but it didn’ t matter.  I worked out. 

I used the Wii Active for 30 minutes so it wasn’t a super gym workout, but I did burn 370 calories.  So I’ll take it.

Where does that leave me?

Better than the last couple of times I’ve said I was going to lose weight and I owe it to you who read these words.  I’m keeping my promise!

I…uh…promise!
