This is the first day, with only 90 more to go. I've begun, and I've begun with a bang! I've even made an awesome video with the limited abilities that only filming through the baby camera attached to the MacBook can provide. And there will be more to come... Plus, the verdict is in...

Oops! So, I ate a little too little today. Shit. Well, I guess that means tomorrow I can splurge on some yogurt with wheat germ for a snack. Plus, if I have a coffee tomorrow, that'll surely add 200+ bringing me within range. Right now, I'm technically starving myself, so that's not so good. At least I had that multi-vitamin. That Whole-Wheat Pasta was rockin' with shitake mushrooms and some cayenne pepper; and I thought it might suck.
As far as exercise goes, I was able to jump onto the dancefloor, and fast out of the gate. I haven't played Dance Dance Revolution in about seven months, so I'm rusty, but I was soon back to my old self, busting a move through the workout mode and unlocking over half the missions within the 2:15 of play time. I was musky, manly, and dripping with fluids. After the fun, I pulled 45 push-ups (not in a row), and realized that I'm not as good at sit-ups as I used to be, doing a measley 31 before giving up.
But, it was a success! Hopefully, others have had similar successes today. I can only imagine what I'll look like without a double-chin. It'll be a surreal AND exciting.
90 more days and beyond...

I loved the video TC. It is inspiring.
That video IS inspiring! And hilarious! And, in a way, unnerving! Good luck meeting your goal! If anyone can do it, it's the man known as TC!
Congratulations!! I can't resist quoting one of the cheesiest platitudes ever: "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." :-)
But seriously, to echo my husband, I too, know you can do this!! Maybe this will give you some added inspiration: last year, between January 10 and April 10, I lost 22 pounds, through healthy eating and exercise. So you're right on track with your goal of 26 pounds!
Good luck with Day Two! And in return, perhaps you can wish me some good luck too as I continue on my as-yet-unbroken exercise streak of 2008. Yes, so far every day this year I have done some sort of exercise - either a cardio/weight workout at the gym, a brisk walk at the nearby park, a ride on our recumbent stationary bike, or a 20-minute stretching/resistance routine on my exercise ball. I am anxious to see how long I can keep this streak going!
OK... as I told you before, I can really get carried away talking about this stuff! But I am really excited for you and want to give lots of support and encouragement. So congratulations again, and if there is anything I can help you with - questions, advice, etc. just let me know!
