Hello New Freinds,
DATE: January 1, 2008
My Fat TO Fit Journey Begins!
Loading...
Didn’t that headline have a nice ring to it…
I lost 100 Pounds!
The reality is, I am just starting my weight lossjourney once again. Since August of 2001 till the present
I have worked at my weightlosss off and on.
I wasn’t always fat or a big guy as some people call me.
Back in 1998 I quit smoking and the following 6 months
I gained 50 pounds! Then about 2 weeks after that something
really ticked my off and I started smoking again…
Then as I was looking over the Las Vegas strip from the
top of the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino, I said to myself
now I’m just a fat smoker! Crap!
Well I stopped smoking again and gained another 75 pounds
over the next few years. Then 2 weeks before 9/11 I started
the Atkins diet the first time and lost about 25 pounds.
I was excited and motivated that I had found something
that was going to work for me…
Then September 11, 2001 happened…I remember saying to my girlfriend, ok diets over we’re going to
PF Changs for dinner, where I went off my diet, big time.
I’ve been on a yo-yo ever since. Yes, I have had people
offering to help me. Yes, I have had certain things or events
inspire for a time.
It hit me over this past Christmas that I have been really struggling with my weight for close to 10 years and I need to change.
So, this Christmas I made yet another committment to myself, my girlfriend Vickie, and a few freinds that i would give it another try.
Over the next 101 Days I will post my daily Exercise and
Food diary. I’m going to share the good, bad and ugly!
With that being said…
I will have photo’s and Video posted on a regular basis
so make sure to come back and visit me…Ok!
My Goal is to lose at least 100 pounds by July 2008 and
then climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzenia in East Africa.
MT. Kilimanjaro stands 19,343 FT and is the tallest mountain
in Africa…
Why do I want to climb Mt Kilimanajro?You’ll have to come back see another day to
see what inspired to want to accomplish this goal.
Today I did go to the gym.
