Late Update

May 01, 2015

Weight from last week:  247.2 lbs

Hooray! I've surpassed my goal of 250lbs.  Next goal: 225 lbs! I hope to be there by July 4th.  Not for any particular reason, just because I generally like to lost 25lbs every 10 wees. It's kind of a personal, unofficial goal I have set for myself.  This milestone of getting under 250 lbs is kind of a big one for me.  I always aaid if I ever got under 250 I would get into a martial arts class.  I've always wanted to do that.  I've always been too big, even as a kid.  Now I believe I can do it, and its suppose to be really good for getting into shape.  I always wanted to do Kung Fu, but Its not offered too much around here, so maybe tae kwon do would be better. I'm also considering Krav Maga which is supposed to be for self defense too.

NSVs:  I recently started teaching 1st grade Children's church.  I would NEVER have done that if I was larger.  My confidence was very low, and I was scared one of the kids would make a comment about my weight.  I tell you, 1st graders are a challenging group, but I feel like I learn as much from them as they hopefully learn from me. 

I was able to buy xxL tshirts from target. This is huge.  I could NEVER wear clothes from target before.  These shirts are very form fitting, and honestly I think they are small for a 2x but they fit!

I can walk for leisure at lunch time and I love it! When the weather is perfect (sunshine with just a slight springtime nip in the air) I walk all over downtown, exploring different areas.  As a person who used to hop in a dar just to drive a few blocks, this is a great accomplishment.

GOALS:  I am still trying to get my protein and water in. I really suck at getting my water in!  i don't know what to do except pay more attention and swear off non-water drinks.  I'm trying to get my protein in by sipping on protein drinks for snacks.  My exercise has tapered off, but I'm hitting the gym hard this week! Hopefully by the next update I will also be involded in martial arts.
