| Ok so over the past few years, give or take a | | | | |
| few, I have packed on some extra pounds. Ok | | | | I am still new to the "blogging thing", so I |
| how about 50 extra pounds. With a lack of | | | | will try and post pictures whenever possible |
| exercise and good eating habits, it really | | | | to show everyone my progress. Along with |
| doesn't come as a surprise. | | | | posting pictures I will post a daily account |
| | | | of what I ate for each meal. Feel free to |
| However with a 7 month old son now, I feel I | | | | comment, good or bad (I can take criticism) |
| owe it to him to get in great shape. | | | | on anything that you read. However don't post |
| Otherwise I might not be able to catch him | | | | anything in the comments if you are trying to |
| once he starts walking. | | | | sell something. I will delete it. This is not |
| | | | a commercial blog for your financial gain. It |
| I actually started yesterday, but thought it | | | | is a blog to share with others a real life |
| would be a good idea to share my progress | | | | experience of losing weight. |
| with the Internet crowd with this blog. Let | | | | |
| me first say, I am not a personal trainer, | | | | Regards, |
| salesman of any health related products or | | | | |
| anything like that. Just an average person | | | | Mike P. |
| who is trying to lose 50 pounds and is | | | | |
| willing to share it with you. | | | | Day 1 - Weight: 275 pounds |
| | | | |
| My goal is to lose 50 pounds by December | | | | NUTRITION |
| 31st, 2008. That gives me roughly 54 weeks to | | | | |
| make it happen. In turn using this | | | | Meal 1: 3 egg whites, 1 whole egg |
| information I need to lose 0.93 pounds each | | | | |
| and every week. Sounds like a reasonable goal | | | | Meal 2: 1 packet of tuna |
| and very achievable. The hard part is, can I | | | | |
| stay on it? Can I stay on a daily regiment of | | | | Meal 3: Spinach and lettuce mix with cut up |
| eating right and exercising for that long? | | | | baked chicken tenderloin and a small Gordon's |
| | | | salmon patty. |
| The way I look at it, I really don't have a | | | | |
| choice. I have to. For the sake of my son and | | | | Meal 4: A small Gordon's Salmon patty |
| family and my own health, it needs to be | | | | |
| done. | | | | Meal 5: 2 1/2 whole eggs |
| | | | |
| Over the past few weeks I have been reading a | | | | EXERCISE |
| number of health magazines and books, to get | | | | |
| up to date on eating right and proper | | | | Walked the dog in the early morning for about |
| exercising. | | | | a half hour. Wasn't a steady even paced walk |
| | | | as the dog needs to, you know, stop and do |
| I will post my progress everyday on here for | | | | his thing. |
| the previous days activities. | | | | |
| | | | NOTES |
| Also as I come across something interesting | | | | |
| that I feel I should share, such as a healthy | | | | First day was tough in the sense of eating |
| recipe or good exercise, I will write about | | | | every 2 to 3 hours. I haven't done that in |
| it here and let you know of the source as to | | | | years, but it was a lot tougher late at |
| where I obtained the information. I will not | | | | night, while I am sitting there watching the |
| post something that I don't try first. It is | | | | football game. I was used to eating chips and |
| just not fair to anyone who reads this. How | | | | other bad foods. It is a bad habit I am sure |
| can I endorse something if I don't even try | | | | will really challenge my will power. |
| it? | | | | |
