I'm going to do it.

I have created some goals and I will achieve them. It usually takes some time with me but eventually I get there.

I WILL LOSE 60 POUNDS BY MID JULY 2008

How?

I've grown tired of being overweight and I think I am going to do something about it.

My brother-in-law is getting married in July and I want to be in tip-top condition before so.

My wife has graciously accepted the challenge as well.

So how do I plan to do it?

It started Wednesday night at 9:00 pm. I went to the gym. Just so readers know I do not have a gym membership, so I visit a local university’s gym and work out there.

First the embarrassing stuff.
I weighed myself and then measured myself and then wanted to go throw up.

I will not disclose what I weigh just because for some reason I am still embarrassed about it, but I will tell you that I am fat.

I have gained more than 100 pounds since high school. To be fair, I was way too skinny in high school. I needed to be about 30 pounds heavier. But for dramatic purposes, 100 pounds sounds better.

So yesterday I did my:
Bench press: Best ever and I haven't lifted weights in years
Leg Press: Embarrassing, I'm surprised I can support myself
Sit-ups in a Minute: 40
Pushups: 9, yep, nine pushups.
Curls: I did 30 of some weight. Probably should have paid attention to that
Running: I HATE RUNNING. I ran half a mile and it took me 6.5 minutes

Food: I ate a 12" subway sandwich. It was good, only 580 calories

This morning I started my day off with a Slim fast
For lunch I had some sort of pizza that was healthy and only had 290 calories, and 2 Samoa cookies

For dinner quesadillas, after I ran/walked 1.5 miles.

Most of the times I will be venting about how much I hate exercise but I need to do and this is a goal I want to achieve for my wife and kids. My wife, so that I can ease her worries about being around for a while and look somewhat like I did a couple of years ago. I want to do this for my kids, because I love them and want to be their dad for a long time.

So wish me luck.

This could be fun.
