Long Time - No Write!!
It has been a while since I have posted a blog and my goals have changed quite a bit. Also, my body has flucuated from the pinacle to the trenches in merely a year. At one time I was down near 275lbs and feeling great. Soon after I lost my dad to heart disease and I took comfort in eating and being lazy - basically sulking!! Well, that did not help with my goals nor did it really give me a chance to beat the same disease that my dad battled. So, I decided to get back on track. I began eating right and excerising on a daily basis. I got my weight back down to 299lbs and I was again feeling like I was accomplishing something. Then. . . . .
My wife and I went on a couple of vacations this year without the little one!! I love him more than anything in this world but I also love my wife and wanted alone time with her. We went to Key West, New Braunfels, and many other small trips. On these trips I ate like a pig. I did not exercise so the downfall was fastly approaching. Then, in July, football got cranked up again and I was in the deathtrap of two-a-days. I was working from 7am to about 10pm, seven days a week, and was not eating good. It was easier to pick up fast food or eat junk in the field house.
So, the results are the old me is back. 326lbs and 28.4% body fat. Today is Wednesday, day three of the Get-Back-On-Track program that I have developed for myself. I have changed my diet and started exercising again. I am cross training at the time to get back into shape. For instance, I ran 2 miles on Monday and did a full body workout (about 1 hr) on Tuesday. Tonight, I am going to either swim or bike (some form of cardio).
The toughest part of this program is going to be keeping up with it on Thursday and Fridays due to football games. For the time being, I plan to get my workout in during the morning hours those days to ensure that it will be done. If I wait until that night, I will find an excuse!
So, I need as many bandwagon supporters as possible right now. I need Bodyspace Fans!! I am constantly looking at your profiles for motivation so keep up your great work!! I look forward to reporting back at least weekly with positive news for you! For the time being, Be Strong - No Excuses!!
