M 6' 1" SW 234. CW 209. 25 LBS. 26 days.
Began new routines 1-1-2025.
No potatoes, rice, noodles, or bread. No fried food. Sparingly use condiments. Sugar as a treat or reward. Diet soda or diet energy drink. (Should really stop). Need to drink more water. Protien for breakfast. Meat and vegetables for lunch. Nuts and fruits for snacks. Dinner with family can get complicated. When we have, for example, lasagna my portion is less than the size of my fist. But I will load up on the veggies that were cooked as well. I have not been the one to cook very much this month. I should help by cooking for a family aimed healthy meal.
The training and weight loss has benefits that include: My knees are not as stiff and sore. Feeling faster and running tracking numbers on the track and trail prove it. Have longer bball training sessions. 1+ hours each time. Flexibility and stretches are becoming easier. I feel more comfortable and confident in my knee\leg that was broken just last may. Shirts, pants, and coats are looking big on me. I am wearing my L's as often as i can because at this rate that size will look too big for my frame soon. I have been in the medium size section of my clost. I have some sweet garb back there, thousands of dollars worth.
My wife doesn't compliment me or want to talk about my path. She is not on the path she wishes to be. I wish she was on a healthier journey, but she continues to make choices that do affect her negatively, per her desired goals. Exercising with my kids more. Bought them gym passes. Been training them twice a week, in addition to the usual practices and games each week.
Not sleeping great, but i attribute that to my new attempt at sobriety. I kicked pot to the curb two weeks ago. I was vaping so much I was wheezing. Breathing and lungs no longer feel discomfort.idiot Also, not buying pot allows me to spend money on self care products. I bought a muscle massage gun, Game changer! I got out knots in my hamstings and calves ive been living with for many years. Get one! $29 on amazon.
Journaling and sharing with you all my highs and lows. Reading all of your battles helps me. thank you all for your openness and comments* Tracking mood daily. Tracking weight daily. Tracking hours trained each day, and kicking the shit out-of my weekly goals!
Learning to love my body, loose skin and all. That means you toostretch marks, group hug!
Creating art hasnt increased but i have been more intentional with my time and projects. Better interactions with my colleagues at work. Im a graph designer, and I've been taking on larger and larger projects lately. Maybe just a coincidence.
I am ready to "plateau" with my weight. The gym was closed for a few days last week, so i had to find a different place, that was frustrating.
Yeah, im doing okay guys. I am here to cheer you on, and understand failing or fall backs. Shitty moments have lead me to this good one. I must remember that.
My mantra (borrowed) is, "If not now, then when? If not you, then who? If not here, then where."
Happy weekend to you, all. Kick monday in the balls and start strong.
