First week 7 pounds lost..

Its not exactly biggest loser stats but i have only been at this for one week officially. My official starting weight is 305 and now im down to 297. My goal is to post once a week and record my weight loss. Im going to shoot for 3 pounds a week. If those jokers on the biggest loser can drop anywhere from 8 - 32 pounds a week, then surely i can handle 3 pounds weekly. Im eating cleaner than before but not perfect, but right now thats not my major concern. Im more concerned on being consistent with my trips to the gym. I can say im doing a decent job at that.
Im going to stick with it and see where it takes me, because I know exactly what happens when you do nothing...Ive traveled that road. Lets see where a decent daily effort gymwise will take me this year in regards to fitness.
im saving money right now to grant myself prizes at certain points. 25 pounds lost will earn me some new fancy gym shoes...50 pounds lost will earn me a nice chain I had my eye on at zales, and 75 pounds loss will earn me a weekend trip to see the lakers at staples or the warriors at golden state in which i will spare no expense reasonable. If i reach my goal weight of 210-stand by, I cant reveal what im going to do..but im going to treat myself big...real big.
So to all I say continue to persue those 2010 goals.

IM BACK- for 2010


Hey all im back from my 7 month hiatus off my entries. All i can say is that Im happy to see 2010 because so many people didnt get to see it. 2009 taught me alot about how expensive it can be not to properly plan for the things you want to do. I have learned my lesson and Ill take the knowledge along with the experience.
From my vacation trip to vegas-to my suprise trip to North Carolina - I learned that there are a couple of things id like to do in 2010.
1. Im going to reread the Bible again from front t back.
2. Im going to get into shape..( I have been saying this for years..stopped-started, stopped-started,. Its a easy pattern...its like this...oh its satuday, im going to start eating clean on monday..let me grab this cheesesteak sandwich right quick..then you eat it, feeling good because you are going start fresh on monday right??Well what happens...On monday (1) you forget to bring your lunch, or (2) Somebody brings doughnuts to the office, or three..on your way from work you pass good old KFC..and you think I would rob somebody right now for some chicken wings..then you get them because you say you can start the next day...then its something else..or you go good for two weeks..it starts raining outside or you get distracted and before you know it you have missed two workout days. then you say im good for now, ill start later as you order a large fries with that chicken sandwich.
Well ive already started..and I expect fully to have setbacks..but there is no quit this year. How can I be so sure you say...because I gave myself a incentive....Also im going to chart my progress with all who read this...
3. Im going to put a effort into keeping contact with folks...Im always thinking that people are busy because im busy sometimes so I procrastinate in calling..but this year..ill call them anyway.
Ive got a couple more but those are between me and the Lord....
Right now im a little bit sore because of all days i decided to lift weights and hit the stairmaster. The stairmaster aint no joke. but everyone knows that if you arent wore out after your workout then it wasnt a workout...
Now its time for random items and observations....
1. My new favorite subway sub is seafood/on wheat. I know the crabmeat is fake but its still good to me.
2. Im pretty much done with facebook. Vicki killed it for me..Ill now read posts from time to time but i know how to contact those i need to contact and those who need to contact me know how as well.
3. Im considering giving up pork...Ill keep you posted on this one..I need to control the B/P.(blood pressure)
4. I keep seeing the informercial with the same little boy and girl who needs help in africa..and its the same scene...and the same boy. Why hasnt the people filming this kickedin a few dollars for some potatoes and vegetables? Id be more inclined to give if they showed me different people everytime who needed the help. whenever i see the same sad face, im thinking someone else is spending that money and not little akebe.
Well gotta go...
