So I guess tomorrow is a lot longer than we thought. Sorry for the delay of this post.

First I will update on my progress.
It has been bad. I have gone in the wrong direction. I weight 239 and my belly is 47 in.

It was my birthday and (E) bought a dream cake from Whole Foods. It was nothing less than delectable. 

Second, updating my goals.

My goals on my previous post did not seem so absurd but my new goals might.

147 LBS BY THE END OR THE YEAR!

The reason for the 147 lbs is because that is the weight restriction for the welterweight class in boxing. I know what you are thinking. Going from 239 to 147 is a HUGE amount of weight. This is my goal and I do not want this plan to fail.

Now on to my ideas and plans for losing this amount or weight.

I still need to just lose 2 lbs per week. I do not have a gym membership or no fancy weights. Just a nice pair of shoes and any thing I can find to help me on my journey. 

Diet.

I will consume no sweets. After that cake how can anything compare. The only sweets I will ingest would be from fruits. This also means no milk. Yes, you heard me no milk. Milk has 13grams per cup. Previously I would drink tons of this stuff and with your daily allowance of sugar only being 40grams it would easy to reach 40grams on just milk. I am cutting back on meats. I enjoy meat just as much as the next person but after watching some documentaries on food and diets I have decided to slim down on the amount to meat I consume. I will focus my diet around vegetables, fruits, nuts, and whole grains. If I had the money I would buy a juicer and consume only juice until I reach my goal. I will discuss this further once the money for the juicer becomes available.

Lifestyle.

I live a sedentary lifestyle right now. I need to become more active through out the day. My thoughts on include taking the stairs with (B) on the shoulders. We have done this a couple of times. He does not seem to mind. Taking him on walks around the apartment complex inside and out. Going on walks carrying him around will help. Once (E) returns from work, on days she is on call I will workout in the apartment and the stairs. On days she is off I will go out for walks and move up to a mild jog once I lose some weight.

Exercise.

I have a great tool to help me lose the pounds. It is an itouch that I received from (E). This is a very handy tool. I have downloaded an application that is called workout trainer. It was free so not adding to the cost of losing the weight, yet. I have looked through all types of work out routines and found a couple I can do from home with out equipment. Today, I started an routine but found my body to be too weak even for the casual level. I was only able to hold positions and exercises for about half the time the routine called for. I will continue to work on the routine until I can complete it at the full amount of time. Once This routine becomes easy than I move on to harder levels.

I tried to do a push-up today. I did three sloppy ones actually. I heard every joint in my arms and shoulders pop and crack. Probably not a good sign.

These are my plans and goals. I will continue to update the blog on a regular bases. Please feel free to add comments and suggestions.
