This blog is set forth for family and friends to keep Paula and I in check. There is no room for "protection" here. No, "oh that's okay" because frankly it's not. We are both grossly overweight for a 32 year old and a 30 year old. If you are overweight too and want to join us, feel free. One thing I expect is full dedication though. Of course I say that as I ingest 360 calories from a Caramel Frappuchino. But that ends today. Actually, it ends right now. I don't want to do this anymore, I don't even like most of the stuff I eat that much, so what's the point of ingesting it?
Each day what you should expect is an update of either that day's activities or the previous day's activities from Paula and I. If you don't see it, say something to us. I know I will be saying something to Paula. I'm giving a years commitment to this blog project. And that's complete commitment, not I'll do what I want and just ommitt it. If I eat it, it will be here. I intend on before pictures and monthly pictures as well. So if you don't want to see me without my shirt off, skip those posts (DON'T ACT LIKE YOU'RE NOT IMPRESSED). There will be workouts logged and food/calories logged. Every Monday, without fail I will weigh myself and post that weight.
So, starting today, I want my life to change. Come along for the ride.

ReplyDeleteI'm in. Goal 1500 calories daily. Exercise 3 times a week at minimum. Current weight: 142.6. Goal: 132 (a possible 125 is even better) and increase in muscle. 1 Year starting April 7th.
ReplyDeleteI'm in. Exercise at least 4 times a week. Goal: swinging arm flab will be gone!
ReplyDeleteHello all. I'm in too. Last time we relied on each other I lost 82 lbs or so. I need to eat healthier as I literally have to carry my own weight with me. Exercise is something I get every time I move from my bed or chair to somewhere else. I injured my shoulder at TIRR and had to get away from working out as my good arm soon had elbow problems. Now with both arms healed it's time to get serious. I'm thinking it's all about a routine, which should become habit soon enough. A sensible breakfast with all meals stressing protein. Lunch will be fruit and cheese, and most days a home cooked dinner. I have no problem cooking healthy, but many times I am physically exhausted, in pain, and in bed by the time dinner rolls around. I will limit myself to two other snacks per day. Coffee and tea w/fresh squeezed fruit for drinks, which I have been doing. I will do my stretches and leg extensions daily, every day, first thing. I will try and work out on the bowflex Mon/ Wed/ Fri in the morning after stretches. Tues/Thurs I don't use the bowflex, instead the electric bike machine, 10 minutes only(I tend to leave it on too long and then have abdominal cramps later in the day). Days I must travel from home I won't do any exercise, to try and save myself for the trip. I want to log results here afterwards, even if it's just SOS(same ol' Ship). Sunrise golfcart rides, fishing, etc. have to outweigh exercises, as I can't physically do both, but should be logged in as such. There are many days when the pain is just too much and bed is all I can do, logged in as well. I look at it like this: If I have the strength to get up and go I should got up and went, whatever that means. Looking forward to another structured attempt to do my best. Let's roll (in a non rolly-poly or wheelchair pun type of way)!
ReplyDeleteMy weight has been 227 and holding, but can only be recorded after doctor's visits, (I have to roll onto a big scale and deduct my wheelchair weight) and will be logged in asap when I return home.
