I'M BACK!!!!

Ok Ok Ok, I've failed miserably the last couple of weeks. I will say though that it wasn't a complete waist. With the inspiration of rtp-blog.com and other info i've found on the web, as well as purchasing the encyclopedia of bodybuilding (by Arnold) I no that I am ready. So here it is my 1st mission. Today is March 17th 2008, it is 92 days until my 36th birthday, June 17th my goal is to drop 40lbs. by june 17th 2008. As of this morning i weight in at 240lbs so i'm trying to get down to 200lbs. So far today i did 1 hard hour of cardio. For food i had yogurt for breakfast, 2 pork chops (bone in ) for lunch, spinach salad with broc and carrots w/ ranch and for dinner an apple a plum a handful of grapes & carrots. My plan is to rise at 5:oo am, get a quick breakfast of yogurt ,fruit & oatmeal. my lunch will be salad with tuna or chicken (same for dinner) i will be taking whey protein and gnc vitamin packs. Snacks will be nuts and fruit. NO CALORIES FROM BEVERAGES! I will also get some pics up soon since i invested in a webcam finally. To borrow a phrase from adam waters THINK BIG!

Day 3

I feel pretty good today, so far i've had a caup and a half of oatmeal w/ 2 splenda packets & 1 banana and for lunch a munster dill havarti sandwich with french onion salad. I need to work on pushiong myself. This morning i did yrg yoga 20 minute workout and then started my p90 cardio tape and lasted about 7 minutes. I'm not going to push myself to hard in the beginning again. I've done that in the past and have always failed. Plus i'm not to worried about the lack of exercise today, I reoganized my office and deffinetly broke a sweat doing that. I'm dealing with the stress of quitting smoking alot better, i only had about 2 hard impulses to smoke today. I will start posting pics in a few days. Alright then Good Night.

Day 2

So far so good today. I was reviewing the Day 1 post and it's choppy and unfocused. I decided to leave it that way so i can call back on it after my transformation. The hardest obstacle i 'm facing right now is quitting smoking. I want a cigarette so bad right now it's madening. Anyways i got up at 6:30am after a dicey night of sleep. Met my brother at the gym at 7:30am busted out 5 -8 rep sets on bench press @ 115lbs, the same reps with the chest press with 45lb dumbells, and the decline bench press with 90 lbs. The meal plan has been good. 1 large gf for breakfast, 2% cottage cheese and lettuce for a snack. 1 yogurt & 1 banana so far at 3:17 pm. Then at home i had 4oz of chic breast, 3 celery stalks with peanut butter, 1 handful of peanuts, 1 yogurt & a bunch of grapes and a bacon chicken wrap from subway.

Day 1

People often ask me what reposition means, well for me the meaning is taking a step back and realizing what does and what does not work in your life. It's getting rid of those relationships in your life that have become ambivalent, It's taking a step back and giving yourself permisiion to say "that really wasn't for me anyways". It's when you finally realize that the only way to help the ones you love and care about is to help yourself, You cannot help anyone until you have won the battle within, when you fill yourself with self love and acceptance, the overflow is what you pass on to those around you. And until you've filled yourself up with those positive feelings you can't have a real positive impact on peoples lives. So now that i'm tired of not being able to give of myself it's time to make a change. First off about me. I'm a 35yr. old male, 6ft,245lbs out of shape computer tech trying to launch a new business. First off i decided to get into shape and transform myself the same week as i launched a new company, as well as trying to keep my current company afloat. This is the perfect example of how my mind or subconscious is always trying to sabotage me. I've been in the office since 9:00 am and it is now 8:40pm. Today i had 1.5 cup of oatmeal w/ 2 splenda packets & 1 banana, 1 yogurt, 1 apple, 1 peach,1 footlong tuna sub from subway, 2 brownies, 1 salad w/ egg and roast beef w/ vin & oil. That's alot of food. I still need an hour of exercise tonight i'll probably do yoga and P90 cardio. Ugh it'll be 9:30 pm before i even get started on it but oh well it has to be done. One thing I am going to work on during the next 100 days (oh my goal is 2 lose 50 lbs in 100 days or at least as close as i can get) is a transformation of mind and body. I'm going to workout 5 days a week but stay as active as possible on top of it. Not workout and then go home and watch tv. I'm also going to work on improving my Professionalism and Financial IQ. There is a lot to learn in this great big world and not being intellectually curios should be considered a crime. Over the next couple months my body goal will be to lose at least 4 lbs a week. My mind goal is to get a solid grasp on accounting, Make my new business a success and finally figure out how to build my own web server. Well until tomorrow.

Reposition

I recently decided to change my life. I looked in the mirror the other day and did not recognize myself. This person looking back at me is not who i want to be. Over years of denial i now have to realize that i've become obese. The pain behind my eyes, I avoid everything that my mind or body might label any kind of discomfort to, I have alienated myself from almost everyone due to my insecurity and lack of confidence. Today I say enough. When transforming the mind & body i am a firm believer in the PRW (powerful reason why) without this a person will recoginize the problem but continue to spin there wheels with it. For accountability sakes I will be posting on this blog everyday. Sharing my progress as well as any insight and resources that help me in transforming my mind and body.
