Since I no longer have use of the scale from my old job I was satisfied with the thought that the pressure of weigh-ins was over. Imagine my joy when I found a scale at the gym I use. Anyways...
Scales often weigh differently from one another. This is a professional scale at the gym much like you would see at the doctor's office with counter weights. So take that into consideration. I lost another 3 lbs which brings me down to 287, Totaling 13 lbs since I started.
I also accomplished 3 pull ups which was surprising considering how much I have to pull up. I did hurt my right shoulder blade in the process though. No pain no gain eh?
I attribute the weight loss to moving out of my routine. Being at home makes me eat less. I just don't think about food as much because I am not sitting in an office all night. I have been slacking off on my workouts, out of laziness. I just can't seem to muster up the energy lately. Denise is getting great stamina with her laps though. I am very proud of her. Once she learned good technique, she was really able to take off. I think she did 8 laps total today which is a huge improvement in 2 weeks time from not being able to make it across even once all the way.
I did manage to get a part time job which will help as I look for stable work.
God is good.

i need a new scale
This my last opportunity to weigh myself on the industrial scale at work. I am going to need to get a scale for the house. Now that I am under the 300 lbs. limit I shouldn't have any problem using that instead. So my last official weigh in at this site shows that I am now at 290! Not bad considering I have not been working very hard at it this week.
I will be glad to be off this midnight shift but I will miss the steady work. I am hopeful that something will come up soon. I find that changing my dietary habits has been hard. It is so much easier to just grab a bag of chips than to chop up a salad. Truth be told though, I would much prefer the salad.
I have really only been working on pushups this past week but I am up to 15, just 5 more until I reach my first goal of 20 pushups in a row.
This video was my inspiration for beginning this from the start.
The work this man went through to get the results he did is amazing. It seems he just dug in and did the work without worrying about the results. I use small goals to keep myself interested and motivated. I am not looking at the 200 lbs. mark right now. Maybe that will happen, maybe it wont. I do know that if I reach for that then I will eventually get to a healthy place long before that.
There is much I need to learn about eating easy healthy meals. I still need to get motivated about going to the gym. Our membership is up for renewal and without a job I may have to reconsider my ability to keep it. It has been so good to all of my family though, especially my wife. She has lost so much weight and feels so good about herself. I feel I need to do whatever I can to make sure she can keep going.
It has actually been a few weeks since I have been able to swim laps. I have been going to the RAC with the family and that is distracting for me. I tend to concentrate more on watchign the kids, or spending time with my wife while I am there. I just feel like I don't have the 45 minutes or so alone to swim laps when I am not by myself. It's like the trip to the RAC serves a different purpose when it is the whole family. I feel weird working out in front of my family for some reason too. I should think about that and try to figure why that is. I have no doubt they would be nothing but supportive and loving about it. It just feels weird to me.

back on track
I am back down to 292. That is good news even if I am still 1 pound heavier than 2 weeks ago.
I was on vacation all last week and working around the house. That helped keep me busy and keep my mind off of food. I was also able to get out the the gym a few times. I have been teaching my wife proper freestyle swimming technique. She is getting a lot better at it and she may be able to join me soon with my laps. She is looking forward to it. She has been working on her own weight loss. She is doing really well. I don't think she is tracking her weight per se, but she is going down in clothes size and looking real good. Not that she hasn't always been a knockout to me. I married way out of my league.
She reminded me this week that even if I am not losing massive weight, I am building muscle. She says that she sees a big difference. I guess I need to take that into account.
I haven't been working on the pushups since I last mentioned it but I am looking forward to concentrating on that goal this week. I have been lifting and working on the muscle groups to help me with pushups. It would certainly be an easy routine to work into my day especially on the days I can't get to the gym. I don't know why I am so reluctant to workout at home.
I am back, with perspective.

OK I owe a post
As you may have noticed, it is past my usual Monday update. I hate disappointing news so I was trying to pretend that this week didn't really happen. I am back up to 295lbs.
This was frustrating to me. I felt like giving up. I know I should expect setbacks and plateaus once in a while. I just didn't expect it so soon. I didn't have much opportunity to go to the gym last week, My diet has been a struggle as well. I had a pop last weekend and IT WAS SOOO GOOD!!! It immediately made me feel energetic, My mood was very upbeat. It made me feel so good and alive. Yep I recognize this response. This is addiction. Kicking this sugar thing is going to be a very hard battle. I have been doing well at walking nightly but my intake is not lower than my outtake. Outtake? Is that right? Outgoing? maybe, doesn't sound right. Whatever.
I need to keep getting back on the proverbial bike when I fall off and not ever quit getting back on. I am on vacation this week so I have been able to make ti to the gym. I have also been doing a lot of work around the house which is better than sitting at my desk all day. I am sure next Monday will be more encouraging....well at least in this way.
I will be having a meeting Monday to find out if I am losing my job at the end of the month. Some of the team will be staying on, but not everybody. I am at the bottom of the totem pole so I don't have high expectations.
It'll be great motivation for walking after the meeting I am sure.

Progress
I am down to 291 today. That is 9 lbs lost since I started. I even went down a pant size today. My old pants fell right off of me.
I am having trouble making it to the gym every day but not to be outdone, I am walking on my lunch break every night. I walk around my building twice at a brisk pace and that takes me about 25 minutes. I am guessing that it is over a half mile. I should get one of those clickity thingys that measure your distance. I have been walking all week and the last time I swam I was able to do 200 yards at a time which is 4 laps. I did that 5 times which makes up my standard 20 laps. I am still increasing my stamina to get up to 500 yards at a time.
The weight lifting is going well too. I have been increasing my weights a little. I can handle crunches better. My technique is improving. I was surprised to find out that I cannot do more than 5 pushups at this time, even with all the weight training I have been doing. I am going to be concentrating on that now. I would like to get to 20 pushups as my first goal. I remember negatives being very effective in building up strength quickly. I start in the up position and very slowly lower myself down, then repeat until I cant do anymore.
I did struggle with pop and snack foods this past week. I reverted to some of the comfort foods, especially this weekend. I found out that I will be losing my job at the end of the month due to downsizing. I am not scared because my faith in God as my provider is very solid, at least in my mind it is. My desire to drown my sorrows in food is evidence that my belief is not as deep as it is solid. That is a spiritual issue I am taking before God. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. As the father with the sick child said to Jesus "Lord I believe, help my unbelief." ~ Mark 9:24.
Thank you all for the encouragement.

Happy Memorial day
Memorial Day this year is also the same day my mother died 5 years ago. I miss you Mom.
I am down only 1 more pound this week. I am now 293, woohoo, big deal.
I was only able to workout 2 times last week. I have not been able to get any energy. I was feeling energized by my workouts initially, but now I just can't seem to summon up the energy. I was working out with lesser weights and still counldn't make it through all three sets on some of the machines.
I am not going to lose perspective though. Weight loss is not a sprint, it is a journey. One bad week just means I need to refocus and regroup. I need to look for energy foods. Where did my energy go though? How can I increase my metabolism and energy?

First Milestone
I am so excited. I swam my first mile today. Not in a row, but I did do a mile worth of laps for my workout. That is 33 laps, plus a few thrown in to warm up and cool down.
I will probably back off from that until I am better prepared but I just wanted to see if I could do it. I am exhausted right now.My next goal will be to do 10 laps in a row non-stop. This is what I swam for an event in high school. I loved the long distance swimming. I am looking forward to that feeling again. I can't remember if swimmers experience that second wind that runners get.
I found out something new today too. I am starving after a long swim like today. I could not get my mind off of food. I ate a chicken salad sandwich with some apple juice. That should help me get to sleep for the day. I will have to figure something out in the future if this hunger thing keeps up. I don't want to eat away all of my workout benefits everyday.
1st mile! yay me!

First weigh-in
Well this is certainly encouraging. Two weeks after I started this new lifestyle I am now down to 294. I lost 6 pounds. I am going to assume that I have gained some weight back in muscle. The thought just makes me feel better :)
I notice much more energy. My mood is even more level than before. My marriage is enjoying some new found...er...stamina. I find a natural loss of appetite. I am getting full much more easily. I am even now finding ice cream and heavy sugary foods to be distasteful. It is interesting how exersize is resolving a lot of the other issues on its own. I was so concerned about the diet part but my body seems to be craving heathy stuff all on its own. It will still take discipline on my part. I need to make sure I am getting to the gym 5 days a week and that my workouts are quality. I am not quite ready for P90X yet but maybe someday.

Making Progress
Well I am liking the way I feel.
It has been two weeks now since I started. I am starting to feel the routine now. It doesn't all feel as clumsy anymore. I am feeling more energy throughout my day. My workouts are getting encouraging. I LIKE THIS.
Two weeks ago I could barely get through 5 laps with break in between. Now my workout this morning was 3 laps on the 4 minute, 2 laps on the 3 minute, repeated 3 times for a total of 20 laps. I am working out 5 days a week and I only missed one day yesterday because of a doctor's appt. I worked out on my upper body with the weights even though today is supposed to be a leg day. I prefer the upper body workout so I just made up for yesterday. I am doing 30 crunches with a weight in between each machine. I gotta get that 6 pack showing. Right now my six pack has a bag of ice on it.
I will weigh myself on Mondays. I don't feel like I have lost weight but I do feel like I am building muscle. I am thinking about changes in my diet too. I know weight loss is a combination of both diet and working out. I am drinking more water. I still do have the Arizona Energy daily but I will work on replacing that with something better. I do like Apple juice. It does have sugar in it but maybe the natural sugars will be better for me?
Diet is gonna be the hard part for me but I know I will just be spinning my wheels if I don't make some serious changes. What do you healthy people like to eat?

It's time for a change
It's time for a change!
I have never been known for being twiggy. I have always been on the heavier side for as long as I can remember. I have certainly had my better years where I did not weight very much but that was brought about by a steady diet of cigarettes and Mountain Dew with an occasional sandwich every few days, not exactly a recommended lifestyle. I was 6' 2" and weighed about 180. I have a large build so 180 fit me quite well at that time.
I swam competitively for 3 years in high school and did moderately well. After a heavy childhood, the swimming helped me gain a lot of self-esteem as I lost inches. Drugs and booze after high school trimmed me down even further until I reached my low of 180 lbs. I have long since quit the drugs and the booze and even the cigarettes when my now-wife said she would never date a smoker. She was worth it :)
Now I am looking at the scale and wondering how I got here. 20 years after thinking I left my addictions behind I realize I have merely changed addictions. I can't seem to move beyond the sugars and carbs and caffeine. I have slowly increased my weight over all this time until now I see the number 300 in front of me. I simply cannot fathom this. Most household scales max out at this number. I can't ever get an accurate reading from this point on without going to a doctor or using the industrial scale at work. I picture myself getting loaded onto the scale with a forklift. This simply will not do. I work midnights which contributes to a very sedintary lifestyle.
I have a history of heart disease in my family. I have an Uncle who died from a heart attack at the age of 47. That is only 5 years away. I can already feel how hard this weight is on my body. I am always exhausted even right after waking up. I feel like I could sleep all day and night. Every little turn of the body produces an involuntary grunt or snort as the fat wrestles with my internal organs for precious real estate. Every time I feel numbness in my arms I wonder if it is over exertion or blood-flow blockage.
Now I do have some good things going for me. I am relatively healthy with all things considered. EKG's in the past have always been good. I typically have very normal to low blood pressure. My cholesteral is not high, well perhaps just at the border but that is only very recent. I do not have disablilities to keep me from working out. I am in a good position to get myself back into shape and that is exactly what I intend to do.
I actually began this process last week but I need to document my progress and keep track of what I am doing so I can learn as I go along. I am not following any specific diet or workout routine, I am developing it as I go along. I don't think diets are effective for me. I tend to just make up for it later after I am tired of denying myself. I think the smarter method is to make permanent changes to my eating habits rather than short term sacrifices. My first step is to get rid of the pop. Until recently I was on a daily habit of 64 ounces of Slurpee, sometimes 2. I am trying other things. I moved to Arizona's Energy drink but I realize now that it is not much better for me. I am going to try to work water into my day as much as I can stand it. I am also experimenting with teas to see if I can find something healthy I can get hooked onto.
I signed up the whole family at our local athletic club in Romulus where they have a very nice pool. I can't jog very well. I have a terrible running gait. I look like someone who is constantly tripping and trying to catch themself. Swimming works well for me. It is low impact and I already know how to setup a workout routine from my high school years. The first day last week I could barely swim 5 laps total. I could not believe how out of shape I was. I stuck to it every day and now I am doing a routine of (2) 100's on the 2:00, followed by (1) 50 on the 1:30. I do this a total of 4 times for an overall 20 laps. I used to be able to swim 10 laps in 5:23, my best time, now it takes me about 40 minutes to do 20, and I can't even do it all at once anymore. My next big goal is to work my way up to 33 laps which is 1 mile. I will also be whittling my rest time down in between laps.
I spend about 30-45 minutes everyday in the weight room. I am working on upper body on Mondays and Thurdays, Legs on Tuesdays and Fridays, and core (back and abs) on Wednesday. I do mix in shoulders and abs everyday but not as intensly as on their specific day. I do 3 sets of 10 on each machine, moderate weight. I already over did it once on the curls and was in a lot of pain for 2 days. Now I want to make sure I stay on the low side to avoid injury.
I do not know if I will be updating every day, probably not. I will shoot for once or twice a week though. I also will weigh in once a week.
I am open to suggestions. I am not looking for quick weight loss as much as I am looking to change my overall lifestyle. I am sure the weight loss will come. I don't plan on getting down to 180 again. I don't think that would be a healthy weight for me now. I would like to see 250 again though, and from there maybe even 220. I don't want to get hung up on a number, I just want to be healthy.

I do not know if I will be updating every day, probably not. I will shoot for once or twice a week though. I also will weigh in once a week.
I am open to suggestions. I am not looking for quick weight loss as much as I am looking to change my overall lifestyle. I am sure the weight loss will come. I don't plan on getting down to 180 again. I don't think that would be a healthy weight for me now. I would like to see 250 again though, and from there maybe even 220. I don't want to get hung up on a number, I just want to be healthy.
