This is a public diary and a public confession. Its the story of Mike Gibbons-Camp, a 30 year old legal aid attorney who on August 23, 2007 weighed in at 392.8 lbs. Thanks to the constant support of my wife, Liz, and a kick in the pants by a good friend who I hadn't talked to for a while, I finally decided that enough was enough. But instead of quietly suffering with my weight, I started my blog, "New Me?"

I did really well for 10 weeks, then it completely fell apart. I was in denial for a long time, thinking I was just slipping up a bit, making a mistake here or there. But the reality was that I had failed.

Since then i've tried just about everything I could to get back on the wagon. And i've done well for a week here, a week there, but nothing lasting. So I don't know what to tell a new reader to my blog, but "welcome, and wish me luck."

priorities

Yesterday I had a realization about my priorities. Basically, I think I've made the important shift to seeing getting in a workout as a high priority.

Liz was off yesterday, and wanted to go out golfing as it was likely the last day we would have a chance to for the season. We couldn't go until I got home from work, so we only got in nine holes, but it was fun. I was supposed to be working on a kitchen remodling project last night, so I had initially said I would count the mini round of golf as my workout for the night.

But then when I got home and had dinner... I just couldn't do that. I just had this overwhelming urge to get up and go to the gym.

So on one hand, I slacked on the housework, on the other hand, I got a full workout in before the Y closed for the night. Getting in my workout is a priority. And it needs to stay that way.


And the Indians won... so the fates must have been pleased :)
