This is my first blog of many to come. I am doing this blog to be accountable for my actions. This will be my weight loss journey. I am not doing this for anyone else but me. I have had a heart changing moment in my life and I need to be able to be able to act upon it. I am doing this to be able to save my life and as I do this I'll be able to enjoy the rest of my life with my family and my future wife and kids. So this weekend I am getting everything necessary to be able to start fresh this Monday April 25. I love life and want to enjoy it to my fullest. Help me be accountable to you. If you have any suggestions please let me know. I am starting a program that I have not decided yet. I am torn between p90x or insanity or some days going to the gym. I will post pics of my progress. My main problem will be trying to figure out the diet I will use. I LOVE FOOD. I over eat a lot. A few weeks ago I had a four scoop ice cream waffle cone! Holy crap! Do you know how much that was in calories? I don't but it sure tasted so GOOD! I won't limit myself to not eating thing I love but I will do it in moderation. This is where I need your help. Check up on me. Make me be accountable for my action. So today I am off to get some good food and to prepare for my up and coming week. With your help I can succeed and you know what? If you want to you can join me too. One day at a time. If there is one thing you learn from me is Go All In, No Regrets!
Go Mario! I'm excited that you are going to be writing a blog about your journey!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the over eating thing. I used to eat a TON! (Still do occasionally when I'm having a week moment) I would eat and eat and still be hungry. One thing I found that helped me to conquer that is by eating 6 smaller meals during the day. Never let yourself get hungry. Smaller portions will enable your stomach (the actual organ inside your body) to shrink. Eventually, you will get full faster because your stomach can't hold as much. Oh also, LOTS of water and LOTS of healthy food. I go by the 90/10 rule. 90% of the time I eat healthy and 10% of the time I eat whatever I want and don't feel bad about it. O.K. I'm off my soapbox. I'm still on my journey and still learning but these are some things that have helped me this past year to take off and keep off 20 lbs. :) 25 pounds to go!
Wow Becky thats Awesome!!! This will help me because you know I use to eat like crap. For example I would eat 3lbs burger, 2ft long subs. Huge things like in the man vs food channel. But thanks this is really going to help me. Thanks for your support
ReplyDeleteI'm with you babe!! And Becky, you're my inspiration too. You also know what it's like to gain and lose then gain and lose. You know exactly what it is like giving up on week moments and not caring anymore then gaining even more. Being over weight isn't fun, and keeping a consistent exercise and healthy eating gives you more energy and makes you feel good.
ReplyDeleteMario, I know you want this more than anyone and the hardest thing we've struggled with is keeping to it. I know you can do this because you want it real real bad and you've done it before.
I love you and I'm right behind you.
