Well day 3 is over with and all was quiet today. I didn’t make the gym like I wanted to but I did have a good eating day. Weekends are always hard because the “old” me would have thrown all caution to the wind and had that fast food meal but if change is going to occur I guess caution can’t just go out the window. I do get one “cheat” meal a week which I am so looking forward to. I’m going to try and save my “cheat” meal for Saturday nights. Well I’m off to the gym to workout…

And we’re off
Well this is my new blog journaling my weight loss progress. I decided a few months ago that I needed to lose weight because I was tired of feeling tired, lethargic, and heavy. Growing up I was always active as I played as much sports as I could ie…football, basketball, and high school wrestling. I wasn’t really good at any of them but it kept me active and the weight down. The “slow-down didn’t start happening until I started college. Being in a demanding school caused me to shift my focus to my classes thus causing a snow-ball affect. Once married life came along the slow-down came to a screeching halt as work and family was primary in my life. Years later I can see the toll on my body and now its time to start to reverse the years of neglect. I looked around on the net for a better way of eating as my diet at the time just consisted of whatever I could get my hands on. I found a book called Abs diet power and read it in about 2 days as it was a nice easy read and made a lot of sense. This book also comes in a womans version which is nice also. I did the diet for about a month and had some real nice success, lost 14 pounds. I then started looking on the men’s health website everyday as there are some real good advice on dieting and excercise. I looked thru the forums and found a 52 day challenge and I thought wow this is exactly what I need to keep me motivated. So the challenge breaks down like this…
1. each day is broken down into 1/2 days
2. set your own goals with the main goal of eating clean (ie…abs diet, low carb, low fat) for both parts of the day
3. perform resistance training a set number of days
4. perform cardio training a set number of days
5. and any personal goals (mine is to lose 10 pounds).
So far I’m doing well with the challenge as its motivated me to stay focused….Time to eat…more to come!
