Another blog when I can’t even keep this one up-to-date?
Okay, as silly as it seems considering I’ve had such a hard time keeping up this blog, I’ve started another blog. A few posts back, I mentioned my experiences with my mother’s bypass surgery. That event led to a family-wide New Year’s resolution to get in shape… spearheaded by my uncle, my mother’s younger brother, who has had his own heart problems already. I have jumped into this resolution with both feet, but I have learned that without outside influences, determination won’t last very long for me.
One particularly disconcerting fact… one of the parts of the resolution was to watch the NBC reality show The Biggest Loser. It is a very inspirational show, but this season the contestants are in teams of two, and there is one team of brothers (the black team) that weighed in at the outset of the competition at 293 and 285. I weighed in at 302, more than either of them.
My new blog, which will be very uninteresting to most people, is my attempt at full-disclosure on daily progress toward my fitness and weight loss goals. I will log my daily eating and exercse routines, as well as use a few tools on the side for at-a-glance type updates. While I may mention my efforts here occasionally, comments on the day to day activities will remain over there.
This new fitness blog is http://jaykoenig.blogspot.com. I wouldn’t suggest adding it to your RSS feeds, but I would appreciate a look every now and then, encouragement when I’m doing well, and some admonishment when I’m not…

Dude, you think I’m not going to add the RSS feed for the other one and then swamp you with encouragement? You are SORELY mistaken . . .
