Hognuts...I'm in San Jose,C.R. and it is summertime here. Well let me explain to you why I've lost all this weight....remember I started at 370 on Oct.3rd....now I weigh in at 277 as of yesterday...Obviously I needed to lose weight, so nine of us down here got in a contest to see who could lose the most weight based on body percentage....Each month we weighed in and if you didn't lose at least 5 per cent of your body weight you had to pay an extra 1000 dollars on top of the 2000 dollar entry fee...some guys were in for less....Anyway, yesterday was the final day and I easily won....but it wasn't easy working out every day....Here are some of the things that I have learned the past 4 months.....You cannot starve yourself, one must eat in order to burn calories and lose fat.....You must exercise, the more calories you burn, the more you can eat.....You must eat the right things, fast foods are definitely out....You must get alot of rest and sleep....I took no vitamens and did not use any drugs or pills, just plain walking and exercising....I am continuing this plan because my goal is 250 by the end of March, right before my Thailand vacation....I feel better about myself and the comments from my friends and co-workers are encouraging....I have alot more energy now and I really look forward each day to going to the gym....So there you have it hognuts, I had an agenda but I also needed to lose weight for health reasons...I will continue to post to let you know how I'm doing and also to see how you are doing....posting was great therapy for me because there was a couple of times I wanted to quit, but other friends wouldn't let me...Continued success to you.....VD
did 4 miles at the bike trail this mornin,was -2 windchill factor,,slipped 3 times on black ice,now i realize im serious about this walkin thing,hehehe,,by the time april 1 rolls around ill be in pretty good walkin shape,if not,then ill just walk til i am in walkin shape,,,sometimes i daydream about what it would feel like to weigh around 200 lbs again,that sustains me through these -2 windchill factor days.......viejo,dont let them boys get you on the hooch too bad,that shit is dead ass calories,but as long as you stay active it wont catch up with ye,,,back when i was drinkin,i never went over 210,guess its because i worked out in the sun every day(painting) one thing im learnin is to be sure and do a little somethin every day,,its amazing how you get accustomed to somethin like bein online a lot,you dont realize youve been doin it,til you quit doin it..
I really, really hate cold weather, especially when the wind blows...Worked out good Sat. and Sun......going to Panama for 3 days with Judge Wapner and some guys....my treat to myself.....come back Friday and back to working out full time again....I'm determined not to put weight on ever again...the health benefits are too important, especially since I've gotten older.....keep up the fight hognuts and hope to see you at the 2007 Bash in my old stomping grounds of LV....
warmed up to 28 degrees today,walked for 2 miles and then i tried somethin new,id run as fast as i could for 2 hundred paces, then slow down and walk for 2 hundred paces,feel like i had a good workout and i actually enjoyed somethin a lil different,have been readin on the net about interval training,will be a good change of pace.
walked 2 miles and walked and jogged 2 more today,it was 26 degrees here today,windchill was about the same,,,the cold itself really doesnt bother me,but if its under 30 i have to slow down, the cold air will sometimes mess with my lungs....but i love being the first one to hit the street after it comes a big snow,somethin about makin those tracks,i should have been a mountain man..viejo,what really terrible foods did you eat while onyour little trip? i want all the gory details,especially if it involves butterscotch ice cream!!! i love that damned stuff,,havent had an ice cream cone in a fkn year,when i get down to 44 waist,im gonna get me a quart and eat it all at once..ps: if 2 lbs is all ye gained and ye did what you wanted to do and enjoyed yeself,thats a small price to pay for peace of mind,,,,gettin bored is the only thing that can stop us viejo,its been proven that starving and feeling miserable does not work work. double ps: ye cant whip a mfer that wont quit.(heard my grandpa say that a thousand times)
walked 2 mile and then jogged(about 65%)and walked for another 2...my legs are slowly gettin stronger,,the old body is slowly adapting to a lil joggin,,ive been goin to a bike path that is 2 miles each way,one thing id like to be able to do by april 1 is to jog the last 2 miles,,,one of these days dante will look behind him and lo and behold its hognuts and viejo gainin on him!!! yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeha
Nice hit Kidslick, congrats....forgot to look at the overnites....anyway, worked out today around 70 minutes on the treadmill....been eating more lately, but healthy....down to 275, feeling better, and golfing a hell of a lot better....my friend suggested working out with weights now that my weight is down almost 100 pounds....any suggestions from anyone....THANKS.
