Week 1 in the books

Wow...What a week!  Worked out everyday at work when I was there.  I'm so blessed to have the schedule that I can take a half hour in my day and get a good sweat going.  That's the key.  Get moving!  Now...The problem that I have...The eating!  I have such an appetite!  There are so many good things that I love!!!  We had cupcakes, Don Juans, movie foods...Such great things to eat!  I just have to train my mind as I am now training my body.  I am training my body by burning fat and working out.  I have to train my mind to get around the fact that I don't need to eat as I always have!  That's whats got me in this position!  I need to start thinking that eating half of what I am used to is okay!  My mind and my stomach might not like it, but by golly, I need to start thinking in that way!  If I do, the workouts will start to show sooner, because I am not eating as much!  Todays a new day!  Keep going!!!

Day 3

Day 3 in the books. It's been a terrific three days of working out. I have been doing a great workout consisting of a mix between cardio and weights. Treadmill plus weights. It's great. A lot of people would love to do this workout if they're into a mix of ways to workout and get in shape. I am all about variety but consistency. I am a creature of hait. I am human. It's been a nice transition into incorporating a workout during my workday. It lasts a little more than a half hour, then I go eat my lunch and then here comes my next class. It's great. Nits empowering also. I feel energized when my class comes. This workout has been officially a great change for my life.

The workout is a mix between of treadmill, arm work, leg work, treadmill, arm, legs, treadmill,Mary, leg...four sets. And treadmill. Each has a different arm and leg lift per set. I love it. Even today, I up'd my reps on my lifts and I upped my speed and length on the treadmill. Three days and something positive. It's a new day. A day thats one more positive than negative. We're moving in the right direction. Gotta bath my son.

Daddy's weight loss blog

Today was a new day. I don't know how much I weigh but I know I weigh a lot. I know that I am unhealthy. I know my life would be better if I was in better shape. Today is a new day. A fresh start. If I can't have the surgery then I'm going to do something to make myself feel better.

Day one. Good workout. Cardio + weights. Feel great. Worked out for a half an hour . Walk around with the dog later. Got moving. The key to burning fat is a higher metabolism. Get moving. I did that. Gotta keep fighting the fat. Working. Keep on moving forward.

I see who I was two years ago when I was weighing less and feeling better. But I want to get in control of who I am physically. I want to do it not for myself, but for my family. I wan to do it so I can be around a long time to watch my son do great things and become a wonderful young man that I know he's going to become.

My main challenge of the whole thing is to stay committed. It's important that I stick to this. I know that this routine will help me. Because after day one I can already feel the results. Going to really feel it next couple days. But I am at rock bottom physically. I've got to make a change. I can't walk a flight of steps without being winded. I cant play with my son without tiring quickly. This is my motivation. It's going to be a exciting time in my life. I want the change. It is welcome with open arms.

More blog posts to come. It's a new day. Hope to talk to you very soon.
