Day 114 - Used Ta Be

Day 24 - Case Study (274.2)

Well, it is been a very interesting over these first 23 days. Last night I completed all of the journal entries of what I've eaten and met Matt I am still down 2 pounds despite hovering around 3000 cal a day.  with the week off from exercise I still put in a good solid two weeks of weightlifting and some cardio even a little bit of kickboxing. At the end of it all I believe the take away here is that I can increase my calories and still lose weight. 

another Takeaway is that I really do need to manage myself a little bit tighter and give myself goals that I can hit every few days. it seems that when I see progress I can continue quicker and more efficiently.

Last of all my blood sugar is high as it's been all year and I can't see anything

Day 4 - Zone

One thing I've always said during this battle, during this journey is that God willing as long as I wake up another day I have that opportunity to change. You hope that you do it earlier in life but again plenty of examples out there show that it's never too late to change. The point was that is that this is only my second day of waking up at 4 AM to go to the gym but I feel like it's a habit I woke up actually at 4:20 because my alarm didn't go off but I knew that I had to get there. last night I used discipline and went to bed at 9 o'clock and that's what helped me get up this morning so good job to me!

I just want to feel that "difference"

Day 2 - Weight

so yesterday was a very very reflective day. I spent a lot of time trying to live in the past but find some source of inspiration based on what I've done before that worked out successfully.

i've got a very long way to go but what I really need is that spark that spark to get me going that sparked the keeps things exciting the beginning of people talking about my progress and I think I found it.

less than 10 pounds. I may have dropped a few more than that but really that's all it took was a 10 pound weight loss for me to take some pictures and rejoice and people notice of my clothes fit better. and because of gained so much weight over the last year when I get back down to this weight 254 pounds people are going to absolutely freak out.

today I need to kickstart it was some low carb.

6:37 am  - I really feel like I am going blind.  Need to get my eyesight back


8:38am -    Blindness, Kidney damage, Stroke, Heart Attack, Impotence, Lose of Limbs

Not sure why those things are not as motivating to me as they should be.  I do look forward to rectifying them

So one of the big changes I need to make is learning how to stay in control when having "fun."  Wife just said we should do somehting fun this weekend and in my mind that always means

• Drinking
• Eating
• "Starting over Monday (the 1st, etc)

No carb means no carb 

5:51pm - Yes to bad

Carl's Jr dinner w/soda😁
Choices

My God.    What I wouldn't give.  If I looked like that now?  People would flip out.

Well, at the end of the year when I am 185lbs then all of these pics and videos will be nothing.
