Ok wanted to post my "starting point weight" and where I am at now. I started my recent changes in lifestyle (deliberatly avoiding the "DIEt" word) about 3 month ago. At that point I weighed in at a hefty 315. My current weigh is 280 for a weightloss of 35 pounds.
The good part is my employer has a health club on site that has a full set of weight machines as well as cardio equiptment. I have been going to the gym for like 2 hours during the 4 days a week I work. I typically do either upper or lower body circuit for a couple sets each and then do at least 45 mins on the treadmill. Currently I get the treadmill fired up at around 3.7mph and then gradually work it up to around 4.7 for the majority of my time.
Just got a key to my apartment community health club. It's a bit more people using it and is usually a bit more crowded, the good part about that is unlike the work one I can drag my wife with me!
Goal:
I would like to gradually work up my endurance level in cardio to be able to WALK a marathon 26.2 miles. That is a bit off, right now if I hit the outdoor trail I can usually walk around 12-13 miles, but I think I end up getting bored more than tired and with me driving down to the trail I know I have to walk back to my car to get home so I usually try an estimate on the safe side.

Welcome!
Welcome to my blog. The purpose of this blog and the stores on this blog are going to be related to my on-going hellish quest to get in better shape and lose weight. If perhaps one person who reads this finds some words of encouragement or hope, that is all I can ever ask for. For me, the idea is an inspiriation from someone at http://www.pafoa.org/ who was keeping track of their weight loss with a blog. I think it will keep me honest and encourage me to do better.
I am also a HUGE (pun intended) supporter of the 2nd Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms. So no doubt there will be items in my blog from time to time that will hit on those types of issues too.
Any questions/comments etc can email me at egenlauf@msn.com
