This year so far has been CRAZY!! I've changed a lot and have no desire to go back to what I was before. This year I actually decided to make a new year's resolution to lose 30 lbs. I didn't start to do anything, like I always tend to do and then I saw myself in a full length mirror and said man you really need to get on this thing. I asked my uncle Marc for advice. He's a fitness nut and is in
crazy good shape so I figured of all people to point me in the right direction that it'd be him. Boy was I right. He told me to eliminate some things from my daily and possibly overall consumption. I soon called this my "NO list". Here's what it consists of: (ahem)
No candy
No sugary drinks of any kind
No white bread
No white rice
No ice cream
No fast food
No bleached flour products
I was fearful and tremble for all of the things that he so no to were 90% of what I was eating. None the less I cowboyed up and got on the bucking bronco that would be the hardest path I'd ever have to trek. The first day was was a literal hell. I went to my grandma's house determined to eat something healthy. When I arrived I spied something on the counter. Much to my chagrin there lay a perfectly and freshly frosted homemade chocolate cake with a not that said "Enjoy :)". I died a little inside but I shocked myself, I didn't eat it and I just looked at it and cried.
I then went to a ward activity where we would be doing a video scavenger hunt, one of the tasks
was for a guy to eat a .99 cent hamburger from Wendy's in 10 or more bites. As the aroma filled
the confines of my Nissan Xterra, I ebbed out copious amounts saliva. I resisted. I conquered and did not partake of the forbidden fruit of the tree of "goo body". Over the next few weeks I started to lose weight. Little by little my clothes started to feel baggier and baggier. I would weigh myself at my grandma's and check out my process. I Started this diet weighing 231 lbs.(first picture) and have made it down to 195 lbs (second picture). I have lost 36 lbs and keep losing weight. This dramatic change has bettered my existence made me realize how truly awesome I can look. I have no desire to stop.
This change isn't just a temporary solution it has become a true part f my life and will hopefully carry through the years to come.
Well I'm going to sign off before I start to cry. Peace out everyone and have a pleasant, whatever part of the day this is for you.
