No magic number in weightless - just get down

When I first started this blog it was from a recovery of a major surgery. Barb and I began a walk program and I lost weight. At this time I also started a study of the Bible and health and to work towards a biblical theology on the subject. I successfully taught a class on the subject. One of the byproducts of the surgery was a heighten insomnia. For two years I struggled sleeping between two - five hours a night. From the surgery I've begin experiencing anxiety attacks. Life happened and I sunk into a depression. I regained my weight. I took on my mental problems and sleep remained problematic. 

Within the last two years I've had a couple falls which setback my walking program. On the plus side mentally I've healed in regard to depression and anxiety, at least it is in remission if not healed. I am back using an indoor walking and biking for exercise and I'm beginning to lose weight again.

My ideal weight is so far out of sight it is truly and unrealistic goal. Below is a BMI chart and I have circled my first goal. To reach it I know that 80% of it relates to what and how much I eat. The other 20% relates to lifestyle and exercise changes to burn calories. It is true you cannot run enough to eat a big Mac. Think about that for minute. 

Once a week I'm going to have a reality check with my scale and I will be happy if every month my weight is moving down. When I reach my goal then I will circle the next number to reach for that in the picture I have a dash line. I will then have to reach that number before I pick a lower number and so it goes. The number itself isn’t my ideal weight but the next number on the scale. Moving weight down is all I can do. 

Doing so I know I will be better off. Leaving the world of obese and moving towards overweight may end out where I am. If I get closer to normal outstanding. Right now though that is not within reach. Keep walking.

These charts can vary, but right now I am out there
