Incentives for Health 3.17.09

So I need to come up with some goals and incentives for getting into better shape.

Right now, I weigh a disgusting 227 lbs. I am embarassed by this. I think I weighed 145 or 155 or so when I graduated high school. I know that I was supposed to fill out, but I went waaay too far.

Right now, with my current amount of muscle, I think that a healthy weight would be 175-180. However, I would love to put on some muscle maybe upping those numbers a bit.

Milestone #1 will be 214lbs. At this milestone, I will invest in a hybrid or wedge of my choice.

Milestone #2 will be 200lbs.

Milestone #3 will be 190lbs.

Milestone #4 will be 180lbs.

I will come up with incentives for my next goal level as I progress. Some of the things that I am thinking about are: Taylormade Burner TP FW wood. Taylormade R7 limited edition Driver. New shafts for my woods. R9 Driver. and... I'm sure I will think of a bunch of stuff during the process.

Realistically, I have heard that while you are losing weight, a good goal is to lose about 2 lbs per week. I have heard though that the first week or two you can see some quicker results, probably because of water weight and the clearing of the bowels. You can actually lose ten lbs your first week or so.

I think that realistically it should take me probably 3 weeks or so to get to my first milestone. After that, I think if I am doing really well, we are looking at 4-6 weeks for each 10 lb milestone. I think that it is pretty realistic that I will be feeling much better after a month or so, and each month, I will be feeling better and better. There is no reason that I have to think that it will be 4-6 months before I am at my goal, I should be feeling better little by little through the process.
