Health And Fitness: Completely Out of Control

Take a peak at my picture on my about page and you can see I am a decent looking guy (nothing special, but nothing horrid either). Go ahead, I’ll wait, but make sure you come back and read the rest…

That picture was taken of me back in 2000. I use it because I was in a great physical condition at the time and feel comfortable with it. Take a look at some of the pics from my recent adoption of my son and you will see that I have completely let myself go. I am ashamed to admit my weight or my physical fitness level on this blog, but I am letting it all hang out.

I recently weighed myself and I am hovering around 250. Since I am only 5′11″, I am bordering on obese. My wife still loves me and my new son is sure to love me. But I really don’t love myself and that has taken its toll on my marraige and will now threaten a future relationship with my son, Jackson.

So, today is the day that everything changes. You have any idea how many times I said that? If I had a nickel every time…. In this case, though, I am putting this information on this blog and I hope any who read this hold me to task. My future with my family depends on it. I will be enlisting the support of several blogs that I have encountered recently that help with people needing to get themselves on the right path.

Every day, I will have some good content laden posts on all kinds of subjects, but I will also have a post on what I accomplished on my health and fitness. Losing weight is a terrible thing to do and is a wonderful thing to have done. I don’t pretend to ignore this fact, but I think the real trick to permenent weight loss is to make the act of of losing the weight as rewarding as possible. To rewire your circuits in your brain to embrace the journey of the weight loss.

In any event, I hope some people find this information inspiring in some way and want to join me in my quest. Here is what happened yesterday:

Eating:
You don’t EVEN want to know. I am too ashamed to put it here.

Fitness:
Nothing

Today is a new day. Let’s get moving!
