Day 6

Well diet is going great and body is feeling alot better, hopefully I can begin jogging next week. I must admit I had a night out and had a couple of diet soda's, first ones in 6 days, I figure on a night out if I treat myself to a diet pop or 2 and enjoy it, it is better for me than indulging in 12 or more wobbly pops, at the end of the day I can live with myself for indulging now and then on a diet pop. Now not having an alchoholic beverage for 28 day's, the way my body feels its hard to justify it to myself getting loaded and feeling like crap all the time, why pay money to feel like that? It may have taken me longer than most to realize this life lesson, but I am glad I finally did.

Days 2 -5

No posts the last few days, I have been battling some sort of plague, though I feel to be on the up swing now! Day 5 still no diet pop..WOOHOO! Next week when I'm a 100% hope to get at least 2 jogs in a week, along with my ball hockey league on thursday nights. It hasn't been horrible this week, had a few Diet pop cravings and a brief stint of wanting chinese food, but I got throught it, no damage done!

Day 1.....

Well I weighed in this morning and the verdict is ... 359.1 lbs, which in it self is a very large number but is still 25 lbs lighter than I was a year ago...Imagine where I would be if I stuck with it....WOW, but that is not the case and here I am again on yet another Day 1(my final day 1). Today went as expected, I fear the days to come will become more and more trying. So as a part of my diet I have decided to give up one of the loves of my life...DIET POP, I love the stuff...but after doing some reading I have determined that diet pop and aspartame need to go, I believe this will be the hardest habit to kick as I drank alot of it, It was not uncommon for me to drink 4 liters or more a day. I enjoy drinking water and even before I drank alot but still today out of habit I had to catch myself from sliding that change into the old pop machine, but hey I caught myslef, like any other thing in life it takes time, the say it takes 21 days to build a new habit.
Anyone else have to kick that habit?

Nov 23rd: The Beginning

Tomorrow I will be weighing in and beginning my FINAL weightloss Journey. I have had moderate to great success with my weight loss in the past only to fall off the wagon and pack the pounds back on. I would alway's make excuses like "wanting to live my life" or "I'm still young" or "as long as I'm happy", but really how happy can you be or how well can you live your life, when you're afraid to fly somewhere because you don't think you will fit in the seat, or be afraid to go to a movie or sporting event because you dont want to invade someone elses space, or not having the freedom to buy clothes that you actually like, rather you're forced to buy whatever is available in the plus sizes. Now that I am Father there is someone else who is depending on me to be there for them and help them along their way in life, and to be honest, If I continue on this path, I won't be. I don't want to miss a minute of my daughters life, and I want to be able to do things with her and not worrie if my size will get in the way, for that the will be "No More Excuses".
