Hello,
My name is Gavin. I am 35 years old, a husband, father, and overweight. According to Wii Fit, I am at xxx lbs. I know that Wii Fit isn’t known to be the most accurate tool to measure, but for this project I am going to use it throughout. If I manage to get a more accurate scale, I will list them both. My goal for this blog is simple.
Accountability.
I have been heavy for most of my life. I have Asthma, and rather severe sleep apnea. My knees hurt when I try to run and I do not have a six pack. I have the whole fucking liquor store. I am tired of the limitations I have when it comes to everything from keeping up with my son, to the clothes I wear. I am not looking to be a model, but losing weight is needed.
I know I am insane on most counts for challenging myself at this time of year (right after Thanksgiving). My job is sedentary; I am a IT Support Tech for a large organization. What does that mean? I sit in a cube and answer phones. Not much activity there. I also love food, I enjoy baking and have a massive sweet tooth. I know cutting them cold turkey won’t do for me… so I will need to wean it down to a manageable portion and make sure to stick to it.
My amazing wife (A’mee), has done an amazing job so far and losing approximately 50lbs so far. I joined the Weight Watchers online program and was eating the same foods and my main exercise was walking and Wii Fit. I would fluctuate up and down in about a 3lb range. Budget got tight, so I dropped and went up to where I am now.
This morning we had breakfast out and I couldn’t get into the booth comfortably. That hurt. That was a wake-up call and I am starting to take action now. So what you can expect from this blog is simple….
- Complete Food Log posted Daily
- Exercise updates posted when they are done
- Measurements for Arm, Chest, Waist, and hips (once a week)
- Weight Check (Once a Week on Monday)
This project begins on Nov. 28. It is Time for a change!!!
