They Can't all be like Last week

Hey Everyone thanks for all your feedback, apparently last weeks posting was enjoyed by all. Unfortunately not all postings are as entertaining as last week.

I just want to give you guys a heads up what I've been up to Lately.

First things First I completed burning all the calories from that bag of Doritos. It took me two long walks to burn off the 1400 calories needed. Here's a photo for proof:

I even got a medal for participation!

 

Lately I've also been looking around for a Gym, thanks to a friends advice I have found one!  Due to my alumni status at Georgian College I still have full access to their gym for a great price. For a 4 month package it works out to be only 25$ a month, half the price of many other local gyms. I'll be sure to make a full posting about it it the near future. 

 

 

Lastly, I just wanted to mention that for the past 2 weeks my weight hasn't really been dropping I've hit a sort of plateau, It's quite frustrating. I'm calling this the end of Round 1 with my fight with weight. Really my first goal was just starting the process, starting a blog and just lose some weight. I'm glad to say I've achieved all those things, even if it was difficult.

 

It's only round one and I already feel like this:

Cut me Mick...

 

Let's start with Round 2! It's time to re-analyze and re-focus.  I'm hoping obviously going to the gym will help break that plateau but I am also going to take a second look at my food consumption and start keeping track of a food journal. 

 

 This is no Longer status-quot

 

In the past Food journals have been helpful for me, writing down and seeing exactly what I'm consuming really help puts things into perspective. Let's hope this adjustment will work and make round 2 a success!

That's it for today, I'll have more updates for you before the week is out. 

 

Thanks for visiting today!

I choked on a piece of celery...

Let me explain... something bad happened... real bad... I'm to disgusted with myself to even talk about it...

So I'll just show you.

Except it wasn't celery...It was Doritos. I cheated and I feel awful about it. I was having second thoughts on whether or not to tell you but I figured if i can't be honest with you, I'll never be honest with myself and this will continue. 

You will be happy to know that it was a one time occurrence and I felt like shit the next day, this will never happen again. Especially after doing the math, there are 1456 calories in a single bag of Doritos. In order to burn that many calories I would have to run for about 2.5 hours or 11 Km's.

I'm determined to burn the calories I've consumed, so I am going to track it with my Nike+ system.

Wish me luck... It's gonna be a looooong run...

Thanks for visiting today, I hope you were entertained, please let me know what you thought of my little adventure with Tito in the comments below.

A friend in need is a friend indeed...

This is my best friend Jake and he is my number one supporter when it comes to my weight loss.

 

 Brushing up on current events

This week I spent 4 days in Sudbury and during my time there he helped me stay on track and keep to my diet. He also sends me workout routines and diets regularly and is always the first person to check out my blog posts. We go to the gym together when we can even though where 3 hours away from each other. He also calls me every few days to make sure I'm still on track and posting my blog updates.  Because of his help this week I have lost 6 lbs and have now lost a total of 20 lbs. On this milestone I just wanted to take a minute of your time and properly thank him for all his help and his encouragement.  

Thank you very much Jake, without your help this battle would be much harder and a lot less entertaining. I dedicate these last 6 lbs I lost to your help. 

Thanks for helping me lose 6 lbs buddy

That's about it for today, I'll have a new post up in the next few days, I promise you it's going to be a good one so come back and check it out.

Please leave a comment below and give some love to my friend Jake for his help, I know he'll appreciate it!

"So What's your Goal?"

I've had that questions asked to me a couple dozen times now and to be honest I really didn't have any goals to start with. I just knew I needed to loose weight so I focused on just doing that first, I mean I know that in the end I want to loose over a 100lbs but that didn't seem to satisfy the people who were asking me. Really the numbers don't matter to me right now I just want to be comfortable in my own skin and be happy.... It's that simple.

Like this guy:

He's Sexy and he knows it! I wish I had this guys balls...when I say balls I mean confidence

When I have the same confidence and love of my own body as this young blade, I will know I have achieved my goals. 

OK! OK! so I totally just avoided the question, how about this, my first goal in my weight loss will be to comfortably fit in this shirt:

 I'm going for that sexy Brawny paper towels guy look

If I was a chick I'd totally want this manly guy

So the shirt was something I bought myself for my birthday in December and it never fit me. Don't ask and don't judge, you have all done the same thing at one point in your lives! I was planning on losing some weight and I figured I 'd fit in it eventually. So goal number one, FIT INTO THAT SHIRT!

Finally I just want to give everyone an update and where I stand so far in weight lost! I'm glad to annouce that after a month I have dropped 15.5 lbs! Here's the break down:

 

Slowly but surely It's coming off! All my numbers are down and I have lost a total of 13lbs of pure fat. I'm proud of myself and I can't wait for month 2!

So that's it for today, Sorry for the two week hiatus I was busy working. I don't forsee any breaks like that coming up and I should have a much more steady schedule for my blog. 

Keep coming back!

Thanks Everyone
