No Longer an Option

I am unfit, uncomfortable and unhealthy. It is no longer an option to lose weight and exercise. 

It is Mandatory. 

Start slow, increase time and intensity as you go. 

Rise Above

"Those who rise above are so electric, they spark with promise. "You see it in them, they're charged. It's just innate. Like, Taylor Swift is wired for it. Kendrick Lamar is wired. You look at their music, you look at their drive. There's no confusing that."
Pharrell Williams

Video I created to get motivated...

Hello to the blog void.....

Even though I have no followers I still like to post about my challenging journey to a fitter me.  Since starting work as a traveling consultant, the past two years have been extremely challenging for me.

I am now the largest I've ever been and I just can't seem to get motivated. So, I've entered the BFFM Holiday Challenge to kick start my transformation.

I've also created this motivational video:



 If you're interested in the Holiday Challenge, you have until the end of today to enter.

Money for Pounds

I'm excited to start today.  I developed a simple plan to earn or lose money for Pounds.

In 30 weeks I want to lose 75 pounds. I've set aside $1,500. Each pound is worth $20. If I meet my 2.5 lb goal I get paid $50.  If I lose 5 lbs I get $100.  However I also will have to pay $20 for every pound above my target. If I lose 1.5 lbs I would owe $20

Lean for Hawaii

I have the time to get healthy for our trip to Hawaii next year. My wife is well on her way and I think she is getting nervous that I am not engaged in achieving my goal.

I choose healthy living in this new hour.

A Shallow Hal Moment

If you've seen the movie 'Shallow Hal' then you can probably recall the scene where he picks up Rosemary's lingerie and holds it at arms length - I kind of had a moment like that when I saw my business suit on a chair.  It was like dam I'm big. 

Starting over is tough - one minute at a time,  one step,  one meal.  

Insanity

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Albert Einstein

Same Thing: Red Zone foods - chips, beer, ice cream, doughnuts, french fries, large portions..... does not equal a healthy mind and body.....
