Weight Loss
I am happy that 2011 is behind us, and the holiday season is over. Our family is on the mend and we are all feeling much better. I am back to work, Justin is back to school, and spring semester for college starts up on January 9th for me. I am not looking forward to [...]

Is this a dream or is it a nightmare? I woke up this morning and the last thing I remember from my dream was looking at a computer screen looking for a picture of a blue mushroom. At this point that is all I remember about the dream so I guess that is ok. I [...]
Katy and the kids are off to work and school and it is just me and the pets. I have an evil grin as I imagine the things I could do to rid myself of my own personal Farmville. I love my wife dearly however I do not love all of these pets. I have [...]
Weight loss is a lot of work. Let me say this again for those of you that are hoping I really did not say it. Weight loss is a lot of work. There are no magical diets that are going to melt away the pounds and keep them off for a life time. Yes, there are weight loss diets out there that will take the weight off. The million dollar question for you is will you be willing to stay on that particular diet for the rest of your life?
Losing weight is a life change where you have to eat less junk and better foods. You have to be consistent with your exercise routine each week. Today I am going 3 times per week but hope to increase that next month.
I hope that my blogging about my personal journey as I lose weight will encourage someone else. I weigh 340 lbs so I am no small person. I am six foot tall and big boned so I carry the weight well. At the gym the other day someone guessed me at 280 lbs. I am looking forward to the day that I am 280 lbs and I know that if I keep up the hard work and be consistent then I can get there. I can do it and so can you.
Weight loss means real life changes. I have to examine how I got this way and figure out what changes to make in my diet, exercise, mind and spirit. My diet can no longer consist of fat greasy foods. I can no longer eat the deserts I want to have and I have to chose to eat better. Eating better will take many pages that I do not have time for in this writing but I promise to revisit it soon.
Regular exercise and eating right is very important for weight loss. Planet Fitness in Charleston can provide you with an inexpensive place for exercise.
Losing weight takes work and is no small task. You must be determined to do whatever it takes and to make life changes. Join me on my journey as I journal those steps, struggles and hopefully victories reflected in a shrinking waist line.
