Wow, are you psychic? I hadn't mentioned working out again and neither had you, but I just started about a week before you did! My main concern is getting back into decent shape, not necessarily having one. My starting weight is 215, could be around 180 in a few months? Daily minimum is 1 mile jog, 50 pushups, 25 situps - minimum. Weekly min is 10 miles, 500/250 for now and will increase a little every week until I'm in decent shape. I'll post my weekly results to keep myself honest, too. May the Force be with us.
Years ago I decided that I would not allow my weight to go over 200 lbs unless I became a body builder or I was laid up with an injury for a long time. Well, I am a bodybuilder, but unfortunately I've been building in one area a little too much: my gut. To get back to being fit I have started the process of weight reduction. I'll do it the same way I did it 2 years ago. I won't be counting calories, fat, protein and carbs as closely this time now that I have a feel for what I need to do from experience. That is, unless a few weeks go by and my progress is too slow. I'll be tracking my exercise and weight on this blog to keep myself honest and to have a record to look back on. I will periodically post the concepts that made me successful the last time as well. I think that will help me stay focused. It may be of interest to others, too. It's time for the 200 lb. Man to make a comeback!
In the Spring of 2007 I joined a weight loss pool with some friends. Twenty-two of us put in $10 and gave ourselves just over two months until the final weigh in. The winner would be the one who had lost the greatest percentage of their original weight. I lost 42.8 pounds, never went hungry, never skipped a meal, never compromised my health with unsafe dieting practices. Needless to say, I took off the weight and took home the cash. Stay tuned for how I did it...
