Decided today that I’m gonna drop to 230lbs.Ive gotten waaay too comfortable floatng between 250-260lbs for months and old (bad) habits are starting to re-emerge. So I’m nippin it in the ass .
Tommorow kicks off a new month AND is a Monday. There is no better day to get back on the ball.
I have new shoes on the way so that’ll reinvigorate my cardio efforts. I did 1 walk with my workboots but that is just askin for trouble. And it just feels odd while on the bike. Hopefully they get here by wednsday. Lookin forward to joggin and killin the elliptical again.
Gonna start weighing on sundays and wednsdays to keep me fired up. Im sure this first weighin after Thanksgiving and laziness will be ugly from all the beer, salty food, etc. But its all downhill from there!
==================================
PS - As of Dec, 1 - My start weight is 259.1

Hey hey! Its been quite a while so I wanted to give a quick update. As of this morning I reinstated cardio as soon as i wake up. Cuz post work cardio was just too easy to talk myself out of. Got a cooler so I bring my (2) lunches now. Basically 2 turkey sandiches with fat free cheese, i eat breakfast at about 6:30, then a sandiwch at 11am and then another at 3pm. Plain but good, and 2 diet mountain dews. Been guzzlin water as well since I found one of those big orange water jug things like u see on garbage trucks. Liftin when I get home is goin well too. I found tonite that if i eat dinner, then lift, i feel much better, then just tryin to get by on a protein drink. School starts monday so Im sure that’ll be interesting. Ive decided aim for a weigh of 230lbs. Im ~250 now so Ive got my work cutout for me; but I just gotta do what has been proven to work. Cardio first thing, natural food, no more weekend beer bashes for a while.
So how are things goin for you all??!?!

Wanted to start off with a snazzy title. Felt like droppin a line and saying hola to my bodyspace friends here. I haven’t gone awol. Started with Comcast monday, so my body had some serious adjustment issues to go thru with the new schedule. My ass has been firmly planted in my bed 9pm this week, Ive been so wiped out. Things are good tho; Ill tell ya, bein a cable guy is ALOT more complicated than I thought itd be and WOW, the dickheads and bizzarre people I see every day definitly keeps things interesting! The actual diagnosis part is very scientific, so Im gettin put thru the gammot learning all these formulas, etc etc. Gona really crack down on my food monday. Im stuck riding with people till I go to school in december. The guys like to get together for lunch at restraunts. DOH! Id rather just bring my own, but since Im tryin to go with the flow, meet everybody and blend in - Im just Im gonna start makin smarter choices when we go out. So how are you all doin?!?

I hopped on the scale today to assess the damage of drinkin like a pirate and eating like a trucker for a month. I only gained like 3 lbs! I had to re-do it twice to make sure it wasnt a mistake. What an awesome surprise, i was expecting MUCH worse. As boring as the elliptical is, it was all the cardio counteracted any real damage. Sweet! Gonna go hop on that f*cker right now actually

allllrighty! Fresh week, fresh start. Got new spirals for my food logs and new batteries for my scale this afternoon so Ill weighin first thing tommorow and chart it. I was pretty lax on my diet for about a month so Im sure itll create an ugly little chart mountain, but it is what it is. Im sure it’ll be a slap on the ass, but avoiding scales is what blew my ass up to 340lbs - I’ve learned my lesson. Lets have a great week!

I figured Id relay this one cuz it really woke me up. About 2 yrs ago both my parents were dioagnosed with different kinds of cancer. By way of operations, chemotherapy, hotshot doctors, and alot of praying - both of them were doin just fine so I started the job hunt about 4 months ago with mixed results. Then my dad got sick again with a kidney issue. I got soo mad at God for punishing these good people. This was the last straw, so for months out of anger I basically turned my back on God.
The job hunt went horribly. I Got very depressed and moody. The other night I climbed into bed, said my prayers, and apologized and asked for help because I’m having no luck going at it on my own. Help me find something, I like and that Im good at. Long story short, 2 days later Comcast called out of nowhere and offered me an interview, and the next day offered me the job. Not gonna get rich but its great advancment opps, and job security so I snatched it up. Now im just waiting on the background checks, etc.
So no matter how shitty things get. No matter how many times life kicks you in the nuts. No matter how hopeless the future may seem. Hang in there and keep the faith!!! Cuz its always darkest just before the sun comes up

this is pretty much what I did to my diet this week
My sister lives 6hrs away and when I got the call that her back blew out and she needed help, I had no problem hauulin ass up to help out my sister with her kid and stuff like that for a week. I had great intentions of eating clean, walkin the dogs for an hour every day. What actually happened was - fastfood + beer + laziness. Yes sir, I done f*cked up real good!………………………………… …………………
I have no clue how traveling business people are able to stick with a hardcore health regimin when they are on the road. I did take em to the dog park and run with em a few times but basically last week was a scratch AND a backpedal. Oh well, sister is better and back at work, Im back home, and Ill climb back into the saddle tommorow (Monday), so I gotta cook my troughs of brown rice and oatmeal later. Lookin forward to gettin my sweat on, I have like 5 gallons of retained water from all the beer and salt, I feel like a tub O’ shit today.I did get some great pics of lisa’s bulldogs tho so ill use em in my blogs this week…………………………………. ……………
Ok I have confessed my sins, so now I feel clean again. Im gonna get new batteries for my scale this week as well. In retrospect, im ALOT more disciplined when I have to weighin AND chart my weight here. Alrighty, enough pissin and moaning - Lets Have a great week!

I think Ethel may have a sweeter ass than the almighty Chickentuna. Then again, I only got a few hrs sleep last night. My sister hurt her back so I gotta drive my mom 6hrs up there so she can take care of her kid for a while. Long drive, but what can ya do. Stayin at Hampton Inn, Im pretty sure they have an exercise room. Plus takin her dogs for a walk.Ill be back Friday for sure.

So at 4:30pm yesterday my dad woke up from a nap and got me to get him a thermometer from the store, he feels weird. Fast forward to 3:30am, we are in the emergency room, hes writhing in pain for about 2 hrs waiting for the CT scan results and the doc. Hes a tough f*cker so he always rejects pain meds "so he can talk to the doctor withhout being dopey". This is where me and him differ drastically!!! I can’t take enough pills when I am hurt.
Anyways, long story short, a 2mm kidney stone from outta nowhere bought this 6′3 270lber practically to his knees. Tell you what. No matter how many times I read to the contrary, I’m gonna really superhydrate if I ever have the balls to use creatine again. And the diet sodas are gettin a strict limit of 2 per day - starting monday. Cuz beleive u me, those f*ckin kidney stones are no joke!!!
Happy ending tho - the nurses said it’ll be no sweat from here on; As of 8am, hes back home, happily doped up, and had a shot to dialate the ureters so itll piss out faster.
Lets kick some ass this week! Those inevitable holiday pigouts are fast approachin. Gotta stoke the metabolism fire now
