Day 1
When I graduated high school I weighed in excess of 300lbs. I could not get up to get the TV remote without breaking a sweat. I was picked on at school and had only a few friends -- mainly ones that I had known my entire life. Things had to change.
I graduated high school and started a new life style. I was able to drop down to 200lbs -- most people thought this was too thin for my frame. I was happy. My self esteem was high and I loved life. I met a great woman and got married. Shortly after, we had our first kid -- this marked the beginning of my weight gain.
Many years went by and I got back up to around 275. This was unacceptable. I have slowly dropped back down to 248, but this too is unacceptable. So, time for a change.
I work out every day splitting my days with cardio and weight lifting. It is not the exercise that is lacking it is my late night food cravings. I eat healthy throughout the day -- protein rich meals with slow burning carbs. However, right before bed I start eating crap. This is my major weakness.
It is time to make a change. I need accountability, which is why I am going to start this diary.
Today I weigh 248lbs at 27% body fat. My goal is to be under 10% body fat and I will attain this.
I will do this for my kids, because for every pound of fat that I have I know that I am taking away from them. I want to be able to play sport with my son -- he is 4 now, and I want to see my daughters wedding -- she is 4 months old.
Day 1 is underway.
