This being the first post of my new blog (I have three others) let me explain the reason behind this blog. It's to record my efforts to no longer be fat. On December 19th, 2006, I started a weight loss program...well not really a weight loss program as much as started a new way to live life.
About seven or eight months ago I decided to weigh myself and was surprised that I weighed just under 300 pounds. I was shocked, I was scared and I was wondering how in the world could I have allowed myself to get into such awful shape. I swore that day that I would not end up weighing more than 300 pounds.
Well, guess what? I now weigh more than 300 pounds. I weighed myself for the first time since my almost 300 pound weigh in on December 18th. The scale told me that I weighed 320 pounds. That's a lot of weight considering that I'm 6'0" tall. My suggested weight is 180 pounds. I was (am) 140 pounds heavier than I should be. And while I don't know if I can ever see 200 pounds or less, I know I need to see less than 250 pounds and hopefully see less than 220 pounds.
While the weighing myself on December 18th gave me the bad news I didn't want to ever have happen, I have been contemplating a new program for several months. And I started the program on December 19th. The program is this...
- A 16 ounce protein shake for breakfast with a multivitamin
- A 16 ounce protein shake for lunch with a multivitamin
- A reasonable meal for dinner
- Snack of fresh veggies, some fruit and/or an 8 ounce protein shake
Doing the above six days a week for the first two weeks lead to a weight loss of eight pounds. Today I started with Hoodia Blast once a day, a whole body cleansing formula that lasts 21 days and also starting working out. I walked on a tread mill for 30 minutes this evening and plan to do a 30 minute work out at least three days a week.
My first goal is to get below 300 pounds. My second goal is to get to 275 pounds. My ultimate goal is to wear a tailored suit I had made 10 years ago when I weighed about 230 pounds. This blog is my way of letting everyone know how it's going. Any words of encouragement is appreciated.
