Sept 20th 2006 Let's Do It -DO it


Ok I just had a vasectomy and maybe my mind is not in the right spot (pain medication) but I will be starting this weight (fat) loss log in some ways to try and stick with what I have been doing so far. See over the years like everyone I suppose I have started and stopped training and eating better many times. Usually what happens is I go on vacation or have somthing like this operation change my routine for a week or 2 and never get back in the saddle not this time.

I am determined to stick with this untill I reach my goals. I have had pretty good sucess so far and have been taking a pretty lax approch. I am under a doctors care and he is great. I have alot of things I will have to put out there so you guys can see where I am at and comming from. First I have seen alot of people out here start a weight loss log to be told your doing this this and this wrong. I wasn't going to start this till I lost 100 lbs but then I started a thread looking for some different exercises I could do and it turned and everyone started saying this should be in weight loss threads so here it is.

I am 33yrs old very happpiely married to an amazing and beautful women We live together with 2 of our children she had a boy when we got married he is 13 I have a 9 yr old girl who does not live with us and we hav a almost 2 yr old together. This should tell you why the operation lol. I love all of our kids our son is amazing he is fun as anything and smart and well behaved and my daughter who does'nt live with us was the focus of my life for many years and I love her with my whole heart. Our littlest is great as well she was born 2 months premature and fro about 6 days to 2 weeks just living for her was a day to day battle. It was actually then that I decided there was no way I was going to piss my life and health away even though I didn't act on it for as year.

I will see my youngest daughter graduate and I will walk her down the isle.

I started working out and eating a mostly clean diet since aug 1st and had great sucess I am sure that not being able to work out for a little over a week is going to hurt but it gives me a chance to clean up my diet and get ready for the next 3 months with a few exceptions I will be eating the diet I post to the letter I do have a wedding in oct which will take me away for 4 days and I will not be following it then. OK here's the diet and the workout plan I have been following. I untill have only walked to work for cardio because i can only walk for about 4 or 5 mins then I have to rest I will be adding 5 min of walking on the treadmill and trying to raise it from there. I have arthritis in my knees and ankles and a very bad back so progress here will be slow.

OK so thats where I am at for the record when I started this whole thing my short term goal was to get down to 450lbs by the wedding we are going to on October 14th.

The operation has made this more challenging but I still think I can pull this off. A big reason for starting this log is so I can write about my diet and such everyday this week while I can't work out cause that will help keep me from going crazy off tract. I plan on having a normal eating day tommorow I plan on subway and even a couple slices of pizza and diet coke then Friday I hit the above diet tight till Christmas eve except for the wedding.

Here we go thanks for all the help I know you guys are going to be, now these pain killers just kicked in I am going to bed and will post how bad I ate tommorow. I am planning on not going to crazy so till tommorow lets all lose the fat and gain the muscle.
