Just a primer
Okay, let’s get it all down and accurate so I can track my goals:
Today’s weight was 244.2 pounds. My GOD, 244 pounds.
I wear a 38 waist jeans, 38 or 40 dress slack. The scary thing is, five years ago, I wore a 32 jean and a 33-34 dress slack.
We moved to south Texas from Colorado in December of 2006. After moving here, and discovering what GOOD Mexican food is, I rapidly added 35 pounds, ended up on blood pressure pills for a time, and look generally like someone plugged my nose and blew real hard in my mouth.
I used to run 4 miles or so each day at my fittest. I now can’t even work up the energy to get DRESSED to work out most days.
I can’t remember anymore what it felt like to be in shape, so I want to record some sensations, emotions, and physical things here also, as a way of remembering what it feels like to be fat. That way, when I’m getting thinner and feeling better, and get the temptation to stop, I can remember what I feel like now.
I plan to start small and grow. Years ago, when I did this to great success, I started with a small workout plan of pushups, pullups, dips, crunches, and RUNNING. I intend to do the same thing again. I will post up my routine tomorrow, and maybe even a horrific picture or two of me without a shirt on, to keep us all motivated to stay away from the fridge.
