So this past weekend I judged a lip syncing competition, and on the way home I decided that I wanted to get back in shape. I am not quite sure how the whole revelation came to pass, and don't really care to be honest. Something flipped and that is all that I know.
I decided to start doing the Weight Watchers plan and so far so good. It has only been a couple of days, and it isn't all that bad. The toughest piece has been the portion control aspect. I am used to just eating until I am full without really considering portion sizes. I have not really had to change much about how I eat luckily. I have just cut out some of the junk and supplemented it with vegetables and fruits. I am drinking more water and decreasing the amount of other liquids I consume.
The other thing that I have taken up recently is yoga. I will never make fun of anyone who does yoga ever again. I honestly thought yoga was a joke until I did it myself. Holy shit was I wrong. Yoga was some of the toughest crap I have ever done and it was just a beginning class. Granted, I am quite out of shape compared to my younger days, but I would put yoga up there with just about any workout that I have done before. Power to those who have been doing yoga regularly. IT IS TOUGH!!
Overall, in about 36 hours, I have already lost 6 pounds. It might seem crazy to lose that much so quickly but that is typically what happens when you start cutting weight. It will normal out after the first week and the body is used to the amount of calories going in and being burnt off. Plus, my metabolism is working a bit harder now that I am being more active. The ultimate goal is to get back down to 200 lbs. It has been a while since I have been there, and it would put me at a healthier weight.
I am giving myself until mid-July to get to my target goal and have a pretty good feeling I am going to make it.
Until next time...
