My story on ABC 33/40 and Focus @ 4:

Keep up with my weekly Shape Up! posts at: http://geekalabama.com/category/shape-up/

Week 50 Picture Update:

This is the Shape Up! campaign.  The mission to get healthier.  There are four main things that will be a part of this campaign to a healthier way of life.

1.  Food Journal:  I am going to be writing what I put in my mouth every day.  It is very important to document what you eat and drink (other than water.)  So once a week I will document what I have eaten.

2. Exercise:  The other important part of getting healthier is exercise.  I will admit I have tried to exercise before with no success and going back to my old ways.  So once a week I will document what exercising I have done.

3. The Weight:  It has been over a year since I last weighed myself at around 400 pounds. And that was while using an industrial scale.  So after I find a scale that will weigh high numbers.  I will post a weekly weight count.

4. A Video Diary:  A video update of my last week.

On every Saturday:  I will post on Geek Alabama the food journal; exercise I did; and total weight on the main page.  You can look for archives under the Shape Up! category.  And I will also post recipes and tips I have found and tried on Geek Alabama.  And even share some videos and pictures of things I am doing.  The main reason I am doing this is to finally commit to a better lifestyle.  I have to be held accountable this time.  And if I fail and do nothing.  I will hear it from the Geek Alabama readers;  and the ABC 33/40 viewers..

It will be hard at first getting everything going while still unemployed.  But if anyone would like to send tips; pointers; suggestions; advice; or leave a note of encouragement.  Leave a comment or e-mail me at barcncpt44@aol.com  Thank you!
