Hey guys! This is my new blog that is going to track my progress on my goal to lose 40 lbs! That's right, this fatty is really going to try and lose 40 big ones. I am an Army officer and a law student. After getting in super great shape over the summer (2010) going through Officer Candidate School, I have really let it slide while I have been attending law school, which is a challenge all in its own. Not to mention that my wife is prego, which makes eating right an even harder challenge. Baby gets what baby wants! lol!
So, to begin with, I asked my wife to buy a scale when she was at the store today. When she brought it home I hopped on to get my starting weight. It was a mammoth 242! Well, that is my starting point. My goal is to try and lose my weight in 60 days. (That is .66 lbs/day). I have done this before, by using diet and exercise, but that was over 10 years ago!!! I lost 60 lbs in 60 days then, but it was a much different situation. I have some fantastic Army training coming up over the summer, and I desperately need to be in great shape to be able to hang physically without a problem.
I will be doing this with exercise and diet. And the only part of my diet that I will be hardcore focusing on is eating meat and cheese. This was my success the first time around. The weight just melted off. I just hope I have the will power to withhold myself! It is never easy, especially with the hectic schedules that we have around here. Fast food and easy eats always seem way too convenient. But, that is why I have started this blog, to help hold myself accountable. I think it is an important part of any goal to write it down, form a plan and track results.
So, that is what this is. Follow along if you like and see my progress, perhaps my setbacks. I will try to be entertaining with it as well, and for those who know me, for good or bad, I am usually entertaining if nothing else! Stay tuned and I might even add some of those before and after pictures, just don't read this directly after eating!
Thanks for reading, and check back often for my updates and progress reports!
you can do this ...Maybe i should do this too ... I was trying for 10 pounds a month ...lame
ReplyDeleteThanks! It is harder for women to lose weight, so your goals are just fine. I just have usually been able too take it off fast when I need to. Trouble is, I put it back on just as fast! lol. I am trying to get down to an acceptable level where I can equal it all out. You can do it, you were posting all the time about your treadmill.
ReplyDeleteKelly please look at the glysemic(spelling)diet. You are supposed to eat 6 small meals a day. It really works and the weight stays off longer.
