Okay, today I began my quest to lose the weight I put back on after I lost all the weight about 7 years ago. Holy crap, it HAS been that long. Anyway, I am committing to it for reals this time. I am helping myself toward making that goal by actually stating that I am doing it, thus my brain should make me stick to it since I have pride at stake here. I also shaved off my wannabe goatee, mainly because it was giving me the false image of thinking I was thinner than I really am. It kinda hid from a straight forward perspective some of the ungodly extra neck fat I have going on there, and if the goatee is not there, then I will have to deal with the real image of what I look like, and hopefully drive me even more to stay with my plan. I am attempting (for the nth time) the things that worked in the past, with a few alterations.
Most that know me have heard me tell of my Healthy Choice Soup/turkey sandwich/Pepsi One diet. Well, I am doing it again, mainly because it worked that one time, and the food was tasty enough to handle having pretty much the same thing all the time. I am not doing the Pepsi One part of it however, it will be replaced with water, and possibly every once in awhile a Diet Sunkist (which, by the way is actually pretty darn tasty!) I also am going to be taking Centrum supplement pills to make up for the fact that I don’t think Healthy Choice/turkey sandwiches give me the nutrients I should have in a day. Also, I plan on eating breakfast fairly regularly, although I need to find a good cereal to go with. I tried some Grape Nuts, and it was pretty bland… I was having trouble making it through a 1/2 cup of the stuff. I’ll try some different ones later on.
I will also be doing excercises, starting slowly of course, with some push ups and sit ups every night and morning. I used to be able to get about 50 of each off after I got into the habit, and plan on doing that again if possible. Also, I hope to be able to do my standing on my head push ups again too… those were fun and made me feel good about myself at the same time.
Anyway, I weighed myself today… at the 219lbs mark, at a height of roughly 5’8”. My BMI for that would be 33.3, which according to the scientific scale is 3.3 points over OBESE. Yeah, I am losing this shit, for fucking real, I NEED to. Crazily enough I am shooting for 165–160, about 10–15lbs lighter than I made it last time. I will be updating this fairly regularly, and I wish I could hope for fast results, but I am prepared for the long haul. I am looking at 6+ months to see any significant change, and plan on doing it as long as it takes. I also took pictures of myself today for some before shots, which I will look at to give myself more incentive as well. They will NOT be posted anytime soon, if nothing more than because of the graphic content they contain. WHEN(not if) I hit my goal, I will more than likely post them side by side to compare what I look like now with what I WILL look like then.
Anyway, enough of that… just needed to throw it out there. I know there will be naysayers, and people that think I will not do it. But FUCK IT. It is happening, and it is for good this time.
