For the food and exercise I’m currently doing see the next post...
I’ve debated writing this thread multiple times over the last few months but I’ve started “diets” before and can never seem to make anything stock beyond a couple of months. I didn’t want to post and then have people ask how I was doing and have to admit that I was failing... but I decided that 1 this might help other entrepreneurs out who are in similar situations and 2 it would hold my feet to the fire as people would ask how my journey was going.
I decided that having my feet held to the fire was more of a help than letting my pride get in the way. Now on to the story.
In December I was on the forum one evening and while browsing came across a thread where people were talking about their diets and weight loss. There was another thread that I then came across that was talking about the show with the 600lb people and how they got to be that big. One of the posts on that thread mentioned something along the lines of they didn’t choose to be 600lbs but they chose not to do something at 250,300,350,400, etc. (at least that’s my memory of the post lol)
Just a week prior to reading those threads my wife had us take Christmas photos... and I absolutely hated them. Not because of my beautiful wife or kids in them.. but because I had to look at how truly overweight I had become. I was approximately 310lbs! I say approximately because the last time I weighed myself I had been over 300 (first part of November) and I had gained more weight since then.
That night I decided that I was not going to be someone who did nothing as I continued to gain weight and get fatter and fatter. Something WOULD CHANGE! I got on my phone and signed up for Planet Fitness that night. The following morning I made my first trip to the gym. I went 6 days a week to the gym for most of December January and February.
In March I went to the Midwest for about 10 days and didn’t eat right or exercise when I was there or after I got back. I went back to old habits and stopped exercising until about mid April. In mid April I found the food and exercise lifestyle that works for me.
I started eating better and exercising 2 times a day. That has allowed me to lost about 20 more lbs since mid April with weight loss actually accelerating now (lost 3lbs last week and currently down 4 this week).
So I know this is rambling so I will put my diet and exercise in the next post.
