Shedding the pounds…
A week ago I told you that I would keep you all up to date on the weight… It has been a struggle but I am so thankful that i am putting my body and mind through the torture of what seems depravity (that of food and what I am use to). This week I really tried hard to pay attention to the calories that were inhailed.
It seems so often that we in-hail the food we partake in. It is like a vacuum cleaner sucking up the dirt of the house. I had no idea at the amount of calories I have been consuming. For instance, did you know that 8 tortilla chips equals one serving, which comes out to 140 calories… That is insane. We as a culture should take the time to think about what we eat and how it might effect our bodies. I can already tell you I feel like I have more energy and seem a little more aware (not that I was ever not thinking but I think you get the drift.)
Drum roll please… Starting weight of Feburary 1st was 200 lbs (drum roll continues)… This weeks starting weigth (Feburary 8th) 196 lbs… grand total of 4 lbs lost and gone… *fireworks and cheering all across the interweb…
until next time…
In 24 days…
In 24 days Ill be 24… It is wild to think that I am going to be in my mid-twenties. For some it may seem old and others a young whipper-snapper (yes i just used that term) . One time when I was 21 years old I was coaching a 7 year old soccer camp. The kids cracked me up, they looked at me with my beard and said “man you must be 50 years old”… they were serious. Anyways, I hope by the time I turn 24 I will lose 10-15 lbs. This is a struggle for me… I enjoy food so much. I have no problem eating plenty of food, but at the same time I really enjoy working out. I have been trying to do P90X… when I say try… i mean it is super hard. But i have an amazing encourager (my wife) to get me through those rigorous workouts. I will try to keep you all up to date on my weight loss progress for the next 3 weeks.
Starting weight: 200lbs
until next time….
