Nice huh?
I really am trying to cut some weight again. After losing 35lbs a couple years ago I'm ready for just a bit more. My goal has always been simple, to get down to wearing a 38 waist comfortably. The reason for that is that everyone carries all their pants in a 38x34 but very few people carry 40x34. I have been stuck in between normal and big and tall for 2 years, only rarely being able to find a pair of pants that fit correctly. Annoying as hell.
Another motivation, one I am reluctant to share here. Since getting my longboard a couple months ago I have found that I really enjoy it. It's good exercise, really fun, challenging, scary sometimes and I can do it with the kids. Only problem is there are a couple of things I want to do on it, that fat people have no business doing. I'll leave it at that.
I am really only shooting to lose 10-15lbs. But if I want to maintain that I should probably shoot for 20-25. That way when I inevitably gain back a bit I am still where I want to be.
Last time I weighed myself I was 237lbs. We don't own a scale so no regular updates. When my pants start getting loose I will get curious and go to a friends house and let you know.
Some of you will wonder what I am going to do to lose weight. Well, I am going to do what I did last time. It worked once, why not again right? It's a strange variant on the Atkins diet. I don't eat sugar, breads and all that stuff, just like Atkins says. Low or no carb. Here is where I differ. I can't eat a lot of fatty meat or foods that are too rich. So what I ended up doing was eating a lot of awesome salads full of veggies. Usually everyday at lunch and with most dinners I have a salad. the salad is romaine or a spring mix and contains cheese, red pepper, onion, carrot, english cucumber and italian dressing. I eat the same amount and kind of meat I normally would. If I feel like I need some carbs I have a cracker or carrot. I have no idea how many calories, fat etc. Breakfast is/was always the tough meal. Everything I want for breakfast is straight carbs. I like eggs but I can only do that for 1 or 2 days before I get ill.
Well, there it is. Tune in next time.
