If you've been checking the blog I've now lost 7 lbs in the first 5 days (not too shabby, if I say so myself) and I've already got a little (tiny) bit better stamina. I've been busting out the workout videos, since I'm sort of a stay at home dad when I'm not at work, and Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred has me sweating pretty good.

I'm not really all that concerned about the pounds, other than that I have a bet with an author about who will lose more in a month. I'm most concerned with getting my eating under control, and that's been easier than I really imagined.

So yeah, things are going pretty well. I'd call it a win so far
