New Blog & No Excuses

So I’ve decided to make the jump to wordpress because I like the overall layout and feel better. 

I think with this new blog home comes a new mindset.  At least thats how I’m looking at it.

——————————

The excuses have mounted up and I’m upset that as I set back and look at the past few months, I have failed at my mission.  I let life get in the way of what I was trying to accomplish and made excuses about how I was to busy or too tired.  Of course I am to tired, I weigh 340lbs.  Today I finally came to the realization that I need to do this.  No more excuses.  I don’t want to be the guy that fails.  I don’t want to be the guy that keeps gaining weight and is miserable.  

I went to a website that calculates how many calories I need to consume to maintain my weight of 340 pounds and my plan is to knock 1000 calories off of that.  The calculator said I needed to consume 3500 calories to maintain my weight of 340lbs.  I am going to try to limit my intake to 2500 calories a day.  3500 calories is 1lb and I figure if I cut out 1000 calories a day for 7 days a week, that is 7000 calories or 2lbs.  This plus actually working out will having me losing weight.  I know it’s going to be a lot of work on my part keeping track of the calories but I think I can handle it.  There is a website I signed up for that I can access on my phone too that will aid in helping me keep track of all the different food I eat.

I have a good feeling about this.  I know I will be sucessful.  I just need to set my mind on it and know that I am making myself healthy in the long run.  Thanks for all your support and prayers.  Please keep me accountable.  Nothing helps more than people asking about how I’m doing.
