Ok yesterday was the 14th day of my program (started 1-2-08) and got on the scale......... 354.2..... that is -13.6lbs for the 2 weeks (started at 367.8)!!! YAY! Today will be another day of eating correctly and exercise. It is getting easier to get on the
treadmill and I feel that I have more
energy. Each day I will add my thoughts,feelings, concerns, progress as I go along with this process. Todays topic will be my weight history and background.
First of all I am 40 and have a wonderful wife that will be joining me on this journey. I have been overweight all of my adult life and live a sedentary life behind the computer. I have tried many different diets to varying degrees with
Atkins working the best for me(lost 65lbs). I finally got fed up of being tired and lethargic, not being able to do the things I want to do, not looking or feeling good. The booths in many restauraunts were too small to fit in, also the struggle to get off the couch (looked like a 9mo pregnant woman)was terrible. Problems finding clothes to wear(48 pants and 4x shirts). The black cloud of impending danger was looming over my head and always on my mind. I knew that if I kept going in the direction I was I would not be here much longer, or so I felt. All this and more helped me decide to change my ways. So here I am ready to start a new chapter in my life.......
