Double century baby!

Apr 01, 2009

Hello Everyone,   I realize it’s been a while since I have posted anything and I hit a major milestone yesterday, so it’s about time. As of yesterdays weigh in I have officially lost 200 pounds. My goal is in sight and I am so excited. I can’t begin to describe how different I feel. Imagine, having 4 of the huge 50 pound bags of dog food laid on top you, that’s the equivalent of the weight that’s come off of me. I am a brand new man. I don’t feel like I have physical limitations anymore. I can walk at a normal pace, I can run, I can climb stairs without being out of breath. I can sit in a theatre seat comfortably, can buy clothes in a normal store, and can ride a carnival ride without worrying about being too big for the seatbelt. I know these actions sound like every day things to a normal person. However when you are as big as I was.. these things get taken away.   My work outs lately have been awesome. I’m finally to the point where I can work out as hard as I can and not feel like I’m about to kill over. When I’m doing my cardio I get in this zone where I just want to push my body harder and harder (almost need to watch it because I drive my heartbeat so high). I probably look like a madman because I listen to really heavy music when I do this, and I silently scream along with the music. But I don’t care.. it’s great stress relief.   It’s now time to take it up a notch… to work my butt off to finish the work I started back in November 07. I’ve got to get focused and really dedicate myself to eating the right foods, taking all my supplements, and developing a cardio/weight lifting plan to help me get to where I want to be physically. I aspire to join the Navy so I must be no more then 25% body fat or weigh more then 211 to qualify.. so I’ve got some work to do.   I thank God for giving me my health back, for saving me from the health problems that were inevitable if I continued of the path I was on. I also thank him for doing the same for me with my spiritual life. He has truly saved me from myself. As I seek his face, he will continue to remove all of my junk that holds me back from living the life that I was meant to live.   Praise be to you lord Jesus for dying for me.. so that I may be set free!
