VIVA LAS VEGAS

It was good while it lasted but had to come back home one time or another. Anyway, I am back home and already missed Vegas. I enjoyed myself so much, can’t wait to go back. Thinking about going back in December again, but this time with a new body to show off

———————————–>

Weight In

I weight In today at 302 lbs. Some of you might see that it is the same weight as before but I am happy. After being off my diet and drinking like crazy in Vegas, I am more than happy to be the same weight as when I left. So 302 lbs it is and looking forward to be under 300 lbs by the end of this working. I will be working my ass off to make it happen.

Weight Loss Competition

I weighted in at work at 306 lbs (Wow, great difference with my clothes on and some food/protein in my stomach) from 308.5 lbs last week.  We are doing this competion between us co-workers and it is kinda fun. Betsy, a co-worker, is in the lead with a lost of 3.5 lbs and I intend to beat her next week. We will see.

—————————————————->

Diet

Ok, I am back on the Velocity Diet today since I kinda or actually messed it up in Vegas. So today count again as Day 1 and hopefully I will last the 27 days that are to come. I just need to hang in there.

Also this time around plan to have a cheat meal once a week. For this week it will be Sunday since I am taking my dad ex-wife to dinner and a movie. We are still cool with each other if anyone was wondering.

Back on Track

Went to the gym this morning for my cardio workout. Did 30 minutes/ 2.17 miles on the elliptical machine. Going back this afternoon to lift weights. Decided to do cardio every day for 6 days and rest on Sunday. So on lifting days I will do cardio in the morning and lifting in the afternoon. On cardio days, I plan on taking a class that my gym is offering because for my $1,000 you bet I am going to take those class.

That is about it for now, till next time…..take care

I have come to realised last night how much have  left my weight control my social life. Funny the things you realise after 3 Beers, 2 shots and 4 hours on the dance floor

I went out to a club last night, first time in years and I was determine to enjoy myself. Guess right, I did. From the time I got in the club till I left I never stopped dancing and more important I was happy. Talking to my fiancee this morning she said she could hear how happy I was and she knows that I love dancing and we should do it more often.

I let my weight control me instead of controlling my weight. I stopped going to social events that I usually enjoy because of my weight, of what people would say. I don’t even like eating at restaurant anymore, where they give you those dirty little looks and think you don’t see it. And yes, I am not paranoid.

 I had fun last night, and on that dance floor I did not care if I was 300 something lbs. And it seems neither did anyone else cause I got my share of compliments and dancing partners. I used to love dancing and going dancing back in the days when I was 225 lbs or less. Oh god, those where the days.

 As the year passed by and the weight came on, I became less and less incline to go out and do things. I was more than happy to just stay home and watch TV. And let’s not forget the food that goes with that. Food had become a way for me to relieve my frustration and my weight has become my prison.

 I hate looking at myself in the mirror because I see failure and I hate more taking pictures because there you really cannot avoid the truth. But the more I tried to avoid it the worse it got. It is like someone that is in credit card debt. They refuse to analyze the situation and by doing so digging a bigger hole for themselves. Avoiding the situation had not help. Maybe I wanted to leave behind the jokes, the stares, the comments. But guess what, no matter how mean and disrespectful they might be, they are true.

 I am a 22 year old male weighting more than 300 lbs and I might deny all I want but that is not normal. I want my life back, I want to enjoy it and live it. I want to be the one that at 75 seat down and say I have no regrets.  But in all that I have made one big mistake, everytime I thought of the future I thought : " When I lose the weight, such and such will happen."

Yes that is a nice thought but I am tired of weighting for losing the weight to start enjoying life. The milestones of my life should not depend on my weight. Believe me, I am going to lose the weight. Now more than ever. But I am not going to weight for the weight to come off to start enjoying life. That ended last night in LAS VEGAS.

Letting my weight control every aspect of my life, NO MORE!!!

Ok, that one was really a surprise. I actually missed the gym :p. Here I am, 5 in the morning in Vegas and I suddenly realised that I haven’t worked out in 2 days. But it is not the knowledge of not working out that was the problem, I have gone longer without working it….It was the fact that my body was aching for that. My muscles miss working out and if it wasn’t for the fact that I have more alchohol in my body now than I had all year, I would actually be working out right now.

 Strange but true. I actually moss working out and to me that is like pass strange.

Better keep that one to myself.

Today was cardio day. I tried my best to hang in my spinning class but the pain in my legs was just to much.

So spinning class 35 minutes

I added to that another 10 minutes on the Elliptical machine. Hope to do better than that next time.
