Two hundred and eighty pounds. 2.8.0. 280#s. I've never been heavier. Shameful. Truly shameful. My waist so big I've had to buy different jeans.
My eating has been out of control. I've made excuses. I haven't worked out. Maybe working nights was one of the causes. Maybe, but I'm not into excuses anymore. My blood pressure is higher (144/88, I think I'll be seeing my doctor) than its been and I'm not getting any younger.
I want to be there to see my kids retire and I want to do it independently. I have seen people who are on hospice with so many regrets, so many fears. I don't want either.
So....here goes. I've signed up for a 7 day trial at the Anytime Fitness down the street. I've purchased protein powder meal supplements, sworn off sodas and all beer that isn't "light". No more McDonalds or seconds, or non-whole grain pancakes.
The only way this works for me is my way, I know myself too well. I did the low carb/high protein diet and supplements before, lost tons of weight, but I didn't change my lifestyle. This is on me. No excuses.
I make this public so you can ask me how I'm doing, keep me accountable if you see me eating something I shouldn't. My commitment to you is to post updates no less than once a week. Hopefully I will encourage you to join me if you need to. I will be brutally honest. Here goes the rest of my life...
