This is definately the better problem to have as long as I solve it.

Welcome.

I am a man in my early 40's. I live in the United States. I was the fat but athletic kid in school. I have struggled with weight issues all of my life. I have been fortunate enough to have lost weight on several occasions. However, I have also been unfortunate enough to have gained it all back (and then some) each time.

Today, I am fortunate.

On May 3rd, 2009 after having gained significantly more weight than I have ever gained before I decided to take the journey one more time. Three hundred and eight days later I am closing in on my goal weight. I have been working my ass off for over 44 weeks and the work has paid off. I am thinner and in better shape than I have been in 10 years. It feels amazing. Yet, I am not done.

Now, I need to finish achieving my weight loss goals and figure out how to not only keep from gaining the weight back but also continue to improve my fitness and achieve more of my goals.

The purpose of this blog is to document my progress. I will be using this blog as a place to log my workouts, my weight, my successes, my failures, and whatever else comes to mind.

Why is this blog titled Three From The Corner? Well, whenver I workout in a gym with a basketball court the workout isn't over until I take a few shots and hit a three-pointer from the corner. Nothing (well, almost nothing) feels as good as being drenched in sweat after a great workout, launching a shot from the corner, and hearing the best sound in the world.

Swish.
