Ok, so after seeing some pictures of me now from a recent Christmas party (now a junior in college), and then coming across a picture from my Freshman year in colege...i got upset. I hadn't realized how much I let things go. I'm 6'3" and weight 250 pounds. I used to be a strong, solid, 200. It's amazing how much difference a severely hurt ankle and alter you. 
That got me outta of shape pretty quick, and just when I was about to recover, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Became a pretty rough time for us all and the address stress didn't help.
Now, I'm ready to make a change, get back to the way I was and even better.
Monday I started back to eating better, and working out. I didn't start the weight training yet because I had to plot it out.
Tuesday, I walked 3 miles. I felt good! And also ate much better.
Today...I got up, grabbed my ipod, cranked the "Breaking Benjamin" and jogged about a quarter a mile and walked the rest. Man, I feel out of shape!! But I'm gonna do get it back! Later this evening, I did upper body training. Feels good to be doing this again. I just hope I can keep the motivation for the long haul. I'm really impatient, so I just need to keep reminding myself it doesn't happen overnight. I also got a buddy of mine at school to be my workout partner while we are there. Hopefully that will help.
Wish me luck guys. Bring on that Christmas food! I'm gonna kick it's ass.
****Current Weight - 250...
Next weigh in - Tuesday the 26th.
