Since today is 9-11 my wife and I declared a state of emergency with our food and health needs. we are going 100% today and not looking back for at least 30 days. We had a night of weekness last night, and indulged in some pizza and soda for the last night... I am very excited about the next 30 days.....
Here is the reason for the emergency... this list is the short list of things between the two of us that we need to watch out for each and everyday....
1. gluten intolerance
2. diabetes
3. high blood pressure
4. morbid obesity
5. thryoid condition
As you can see that can be a serious challenge to get through each day. My goal is to be under 400lbs by my 32nd b-day which is exactly 2 months from today. That means that I need to loose about .8lbs a day in weight to make that goal. right now, I am estimating my weight at 440lbs... it is possible, but it is going to be tough. I need to make serious changes in my diet and excersice routines. I need to daily think about what I am doing and how it is effecting my body and my life long choices. I need to be reminded that I want to have kids, and be able to play with them outside of a wheelchair.
So, the next 30 days is our state of emergency, and then the next 30 after that is my freedom push. My end of the year goal is 375lbs on 1/1/08... with 300lbs by 1/1/09 and 250lbs by 7/7/09.... I know that is ambitious to loose almost 200lbs in just under 2 years, but it is doable. I know that as I eat well, and exercise the weight will start coming off and as it does it will motivate me more and more and that will help me make more quality choices, and more excersice to get more weight off... It is all possible, and it will be done....
I have this dream of my wife and I on our 5th anniversary (wedding) of doing the whole ceremony thing, in the mountains of MT and being able to wear a full tuxedo with tails and all. I want my wife to be decked out in dress of her dreams, and neither one of us having to sacrifice our dream because of our figures.... I dream of our little kids running around at that time in our house with our danes and all of us eating RAW or Vegetarian and free.... I dream of kids that have no health issues due to diet.... I just DREAM!!!!
So, welcome to my dream, and my journey.....
