did a little research- at my starting weight of 267 lbs i could consume roughly 3000 calories a day and maintain my portly figure. with very little effort i should be able to squeak in under that. so with that said after not quite a week of replacing my lunch time roast beef sandwhich with fruit, soda with water, and trying my best to eliminate calories from fat, i hit the scale last night at 263. so far i've been good, hitting the treadmill in the garage for a few miles every night (1 mile run, 1 mile walk) and i'm back to hitting the heavy bag and speed bags. in general my energy is up and that can't be bad.
my fitness guru (wife) tells me it won't always be this easy but that's ok my goal is to be under 240 by the deadline. so that's 27 lbs in what, 3 months. 1/3lb loss a day. i think that's a reasonable goal.
anyway, a hearty "good job" to the guys putting in the effort i have to go crank up the radio i think i hear a pizza calling me.
