112 Days

Wow when I started this deal I just thought about it one day at a time.   Well it has been 112 days and I have not missed a workout every morning.  I have stayed with a very maintainable eating routine and I can honestly say this is the best I have felt since I became a parent.  I believe was the last time I actually did anything consistently to build muscle on my body other than lifting my humongous ass around all day.  I wish I was 20 lbs lighter than I am right now but it is very slow on losing weight but truly I feel like I  am reducing fat from toes to my ears.  Not kidding on that like even my hips and kankles are shrinking and my neck.. It is gross to look at but it is shrinking.  I have no goal to look normal when I go to the pool or anything as those days passed decades ago I just want to be able to look less than morbidly obese which I currently still  am after 112 days.

Another Stone Has Fallen

Good Lord I have not missed a worked since I started this whole thing. I have completely changed the way I eat and how much I eat and honestly that part is easy if it means that I can add a few days onto my short life span.
 I am now doing shit that I didn't my old body could do.. Not one person that I have instructed to notice has said wow you have lost weight.  I am trying to find some BMI calculator that does not still show me as morbidly obese I may have to adjust the height to 6 11 but anyway I feel great.

More to come

Day 42

I have been doing this for 42 days now and have not missed a workout.. Which includes traveling with weights in my luggage.  Super awkward when security  pulled me aside and had to go through my luggage in front a woman i work with.  The XXL undies from duluth trading company are not exactly small and bright red and the lady doing the exam was not excited about moving around what appeared to be the largest underwear she had ever seen.   F them all ..

On a random note if you feel like spending way too much buy anything from duluth trading company I have yet to be disappointed  in anything other than the price.   I just tried work socks, white undershirt for work and shorts and summer shirt.  I can't wear them enough just great stuff and yes they go large and are made for large ass.

I don't have many holes left to go on my belt so that is encouraging I will need to give it back to the amish guy I bought from to put back on his Clydesdale so that I get a new one.  Thinking I will go with  Mark plan although I have a great one from DTC.


I still can't even talk about C going to fall camp without getting Sad he is great about telling me stuff as he is trying like hell to do his best but his being a good athlete is not enough anymore he is being super hard on himself as he has horrible fundamentals that are getting better on but when they film every minute of every practice and critique every step it gets super tiring and frustrating ( 5 Years of that will drive you up the wall!!!)

21 More days no problem going to try some different workouts next week but damn this one has helped me feel a ton better I did yoga this morning in my hotel room and it was the best part of my trip as it fixed an issue with my back.

Trying to be positive but I am going to miss friday night lights.. Tommy can't get to Varsity fast enough speaking of that he is doing well playing G on O and Tackle on D.  i am so looking forward to him playing freshmen ball.


It is what it is.

I am in

Saw the new Bourne movie and Star Trek with family.  Both would get a 3 out of 5 Baldies.. Too much action even according to my kids.

My Family binged the Stranger Things and absolutely love that way more than both of these movies.

We are also watch the night of which again is way better than most movies I have seen.

The clock is ticking down to Con leaving and he is nice enough to keep spending family time with us this weekend including a baseball game to make his mom and dad happy.. Damn it I usually love Fall to come but this year I am dreading seeing him leave even if I want him to go.. I hate being so damn melancholy but I can't help it.  That I look like an ape but I am soft as anyone I know.

I have not missed a workout in 26 days and I can almost complete all of them with little to no modification so i have no excuses on why I can't continue.   I am in a great routine for portion control and eating great food.   But I have to share as I like to ground myself.   I have lost a pretty good chunk of  weight and my clothes are pretty damn roomy right now but as I had coffee with a friend he was honest enough to say he could not tell and of course referenced the titanic and deck chairs.  I also sent a pic to someone I work with showing him the walleye I caught a few years ago and his immediate response was is that you in the picture.  I said yes and he said wow you don't even look like that you are so huge a nice way of saying a bloated whale.  I said Oh I am working on that.
(Maybe I should just work from home more.. I hate people)


I can't wait to post I lost another stone but that will be some time!!!

21 Days Down

It is just one of the days where I am not sure how much longer I can get up and go to work 5 days a week.  To help quiet this storm i checked my retirement funds and see what I am going to need to get my kids through college and allow suz and I to heat the house in the winter.  So right now if I get a 30% raise every year for the next 10 years I should be able to retire at 103 years. So I have that to look forward to.


My mom went home today which couldn't be better news.

I have stuck to my program for 21 days I have not missed a single workout and I have stuck to the simple change in eating habits.  No one has noticed any change physically but my pants don't hurt an I have gone a few holes down in my belt.  I know this is crazy but I look forward to yoga and pilates workouts as I have so many issues with just being able to bend and I feel like this actually makes me it worth it to pick a dollar up from the floor so that my kids can spend it for me.

The good part is this was very very simple for me to do and I was able to do this without must changing at all except.  I don't eat anything that is not good for me it is pretty simple and when I do eat anything I limit the total volume by about 1/2 or more.

Do i like asking for my coffee with Almond milk ? Ah no but i have grow to enjoy it.

I feel great I still drink plenty of wine and cocktails i just don't have chips.

I can give you all the details but numbers don't lie here is my fitbit dashboard resting heart rate for the month.


During the workouts i feel like my heart is going to jump out of my throat but I as the heart is a muscle i guess it get's better fast.


I am going to try this for another 21 then go for another more advanced workout if that goes well.. This is a long process

One Stone Down Way Too Many to go

We binged watch J's recommendation on Netflix not bad at all.  It was worth it for all the 80's Reference.

I feel great other than days like today when it hurts to bend anywhere but hey it was a tough workout and I am still morbidly obese.  Interesting (boring) thing i have a fitbit with heart rate monitor.  I choose this model because it was the only model that had an XL option as my fat swollen joints needed the spare room.  Well anyway after I stopped drinking diet coke and beer in Januaryish i immediately had to move down two full holes in the band. Now I am on the last band and honestly it is probably too big for me.  Anyway back to the heart rate monitor when I started wearing it my resting heart rate was insanely high like in the high 90's (hamster heart, Old Man, Fat,Job, Type AA) I was not sure why it was so alarmingly high other than I though that was my normal.  But anyway I have been walking etc trying to do better this spring and i got it down to resting rate of 81-82 which I thought was amazing for me.   But I just checked now a couple weeks into this and my resting heart rate is 68 that to me is impressive given how quickly it happened and how huge I still am.

My youngest turned 15 today damn it is just damn it is just damn where does the fnn time go.   Anyway fall is around the corner in more ways than one.  I am trying to put together a bucketlist of sorts as i try to figure out how to squeeze out the last bit of life here.  Is that something I should share?

I will also start making more cock references as C heads to UIU.

Monday

Feeling great but still having stomach cramping although not as severe.  I could not do this thing without the shakes that must be laden with cocaine or some antidepressant.   Planking and all that stuff is insane I hope my wife and kids don't find me lying in the fettle position in the basement weeping as my entire body trembles and shakes just try to hoist it up and hold it.  I continue to try to do the "athlete" like planks and workouts but am usually end up doing the workout designed for a women in her late 60's.

Terry Ryan gone odd timing but good timing if they are able to get the best candidate available.  I saw this quote and it is right the twins organization best attributes are loyalty and continuity the twins worst attributes are loyalty and continuity.  The twins have failed to make quality free agent signings and have not produced enough super stars in the draft.  I liked Terry but maybe a fresh set of eyes will help.

J recommends to stream Strange Times on Netflix let me know if you watch it I will try.

Tuesday I go back to my hometown as one of my high school friends lost his mom.  It is an odd bond the all of us that will show up.  We don't do reunions or get together as a group that I am aware of but we all still care about each other.  I am hoping the conversations go beyond wow your bald and I did'n't recognize you with 100 extra lbs. It will give my an excuse to see my mom who is recovering at the nursing home as well and take a few hours off work.

I was walking by my son doing his grad party thank you's and noticed he is signing everyone with go cocks and not explanation.  I am sure that will go over well but it annoys my wife which is always fun.

Peace out..

Trying to be positive

A quick update today.

If you have amazon prime please catch up on Mr. Robot it is a very interesting series that is well written.  The next season just started.

My mom had knee replacement surgery all went yesterday and she is well on her way to recovery. She is a tough person and will be back on her feet soon.

Hydro Flask if you don't have one please try it makes drinking beverages a pleasure.

I am on day 7 of my death march and I feel great although in a great deal of pain in every muscle group with most of it focused on my stomach.   It is pretty simple create more muscle in your body and eat the right amount of the right food and you will lose weight.

Just wondering what has made me feel better the lack of artificial sugar sweeteners gluten milk beer or what I just feel better.  Sure I get some hunger issues but not really anyway I will keep up the fight for another month or so to if I continue to feel this good.

Can't Move

A couple of things to get started I was just in a mood for a movie so Tommy and I went to see Tarzan as i saw nothing else that I could stand I give in 2.5 out of 5 baldies no story poor special effects and not as much fun going to a movie theater when you can't have pop and popcorn.   Tommy of course ate it next to me and told me how good it was.

I have continued to watch the twins most of the times on fast forward and on the radio and they are starting to be a fun to team to watch.  I don't think it is a shock that no veterans are part of this surge short of suzuki.  and just to be consistent I can't watch Joe Mauer he needs to go somewhere where he is needed.

I actually like this 21 day deal from a changing what I eat perspective as i really have not had to buy anything new other than milk and peanut butter replacements .  Both are almond now and are good as i am not eating much of anything processed or anything with sugar and realistic volumes of food compared to me eating for a family of 6. I also did not realize how much in the summer I drink damn anyway I had already cut out beer and pop but I do like everything else with alcohol in it and I mean everything so only have 2 glasses of wine the entire weekend was not fun.

The workouts are killing me during and afterwards but given that fact that I get sore from just bending over and I am in the worse physical shape of my life.  Basically I walk a ton but it has not helped at all for weight loss but it has lowered my heart rate but the rest of my bottom.  I am not sure if it is age or walking or fat or what but I am amazed and how grossly misshapen I am.  I will never ever make fun of people that do Pilates spelling? or yoga as my entire body trembles and shakes and I am unable to do the complete workout with out breaks and this should be easy.  I have now developed the ability to get charlie horse cramps in my stomach  I guess that can happen when my belly has reached the size of a large beach ball.  The fun part is drinking water like I should but then spending the entire night going to the can which generates so much pain in my legs that I am kept awake and then just as I fall asleep i have to go again.

I actually felt a little bit of self confidence until I walked by a window on my way to work and saw how I looked at nearly puked.  And if that was not enough I guy that I used to for me  from India see's me crossing the street and we have not talked in years says in his best english says geez you really put on weight pat are you ok I am worried about you.  Damn it.

I am thinking of reviewing shit I buy as i like to know what people are getting like the hydro flask or whatever.

It is 10:20 so far I have retucked my shirt 180 times no help there and it hurts more as every muscle hurts when I move.

Peace

It is Time for a Change

Hi world (no one is reading this but hey)

I am not going to edit this as i don't have the time but I thought would take you along my journey from morbidly obese to just obese.  I have tried to start running but my weight and age basically kill me and then I stop and try walking which keeps my heart healthy but i loose nothing.  I think i am eating less but it is hard to tell as no matter what I do i continue to have something approaching fantastic b cups and my hands and feet are swollen all the time.  I have given up soda I try not to drink beer but have one on occasion but still I look horrible and have nothing to wear  I have 2 pants that I can wear that are basically khaki zubas.. I think if I counted I tuck my shirt in 462 times a day as my belly pushes my pants/zubaz down all day I battle it back by tucking and  pulling it all day long but i usually leave what shirt tail in the front or back out no matter how hard I try.  So I will blog here to hold myself accountable.  It will make my followers (none) happy to laugh along but also allow me to vent as I attempt to correct my current path of destroying my health it is just dumb as my life other than this is great and I want to live longer than 3 years from now. 

So here we go I am listing to FT as he is very healthy and trying this eating and workout routine in hopes to start something positive for me.   I will continue to review movies now and shows that I watch.  But here is the vitals sent to the world(no one)

My Current weight is 20 stones.

I hope to blog regularly with boring poorly written English.
