I figured this would be the best place for my first post. I'm a long-haul trucker and over the last few months I have been putting my mind into getting in shape. I have started shifting my foods I intake, up the water, drop the black sludge in a bottle (read: coffee, coke, exct.) I quit a 2 pack a day smoking habit on 11-10-06 (almost a year!!) So I'm on my way. I actually feel my muscles tire before my lungs give out now - thats a great feeling.
Problem is I have always been a big guy. The first one picked for football defense. Lifted weights when I was younger, but then smoking slowed me down. Working jobs where I never move didn't help either. Now I need to loose another person. I get frustrated when I don't see results so diets are hard for me. I guess thats why I'm here. To try and get educated and support keeping on track. But at 6'1" 340lbs I have a long way to go (Out of high school I was 215lbs, 34" waist 48" chest) On the up note my Dr. says that except for my weight I'm ok for now. As I get older that won't be the case though.
Thanks for reading my rant, have a good one!
