Budgeting

Current weight 308 pounds.
Down 37 pounds total.
My trainer placed me on an 1,800 calorie budget. Of those calories…
30% have to come from Protein
45% from carbs
25% from fat
This is how I do this:
I track the amount of grams I consume of protein, carbs and fat. Then I convert those grams into calories. [...]

My Gym

Weighed myself this morning:
311 Pounds.  
9 Pounds in 10 days.
I’ve been hitting the gym really hard.  Lots of cardio and weight training.  Lots of it.
My trainer hands me my ass everytime we train but I love the kind of soreness that I feel with each workout.   Silly to say but it makes me more confident each day.  Knowing [...]

Picture Journal

I’ve decided to keep a daily picture journal of my evolution.
For the next year I will be taking a daily picture of myself. Same pose every time.  At the end of the year I will compile all of my images into a time lapsed video.
I think this is something that will help keep me motivated.  [...]

Again….

The good news?
I’ve joined Anytime [...]

Helpings

So I didn’t grocery shop.  I failed at that. 
The good new is that I sincerely made a concious effort to help myself.  I did it my controlling my helpings.
I eliminated 2nd helpings from my diet this weekend. I dare say that I actually eliminated 2nd AND 3rd helpings.  I find that my problem isn’t so [...]

umm, what happened?

I’ll tell you what happened.  My lazy, uninspired fat ass is what happened.  I THINK I weight about 320 now.  Ugh.  What happened?!?!?  I gave up.  I’ll admit it.   I GAVE UP.   Now I don’t even know how much I weigh, I’m afraid of standing on the scale to confirm what I already know to [...]

On board

Current weight:  306 lbs.
I’m doing it and I’m doing it the right way.
It gets tought sometimes, especially when I crave greasy burgers and pizza.  But every once in a while I let myself indulge and I find that it helps me stay on track by giving in a little sometimes.  I’ve learned that it’s all [...]

Oh Yes!

A quick post to tell of my love for Weight Watchers.  It works so great for me.
Current Weight:  312
Down 3 pounds this week and I even had pizza and Coldstone Ice Cream.
The things about WW is that you can eat WHATEVER you want as long as you budget your points.
Oh Yes!!
