Buffalo Boy's Blog

I've been away for a bit from the bloggage thing. Work has been busy, swimming is in high gear and well baby life is exhausting.

Im also going to start back up with my weight loss plan....I started last year in January and have written on here about it before but to say the least it is an easy habit to get out of.

As easy as working out and losing weight can be to get into the habit of, its probably twice as easy to fall off the bandwagon. I was going good up until last April, but then my shoulders started acting up, I started therapy and ended up not getting my workouts in, well by the time I was done with therapy, I had gotten out of the habit of hitting the gym.

Looking for a house became a precedent and working longer hours at work, baby came closer and closer and working out became secondary.

Well, now for my health and the fact that I want to live a long life and see my daughter through into her adult years, I am embarking on the workout bandwagon and this time its to stay.

I am going to use Buffalo Boy as a way to A)post my eating habits daily B) give weekly weight loss updates and C) readers can leave me words of encouragement to keep me focused.

Im starting tomorrow, yes I know its Thanksgiving Day, not the best day to start a weight loss program, but lets face it, what better landmark day could there be?

Next Thanksgiving I will be on here giving thanks for losing 75 pounds and enjoying a day off from the gym and my weight loss program.

My plan:

1. I will avoid all food that is served through a drive through window

2. No more sugary, carbonated beverages.

3. No more pizza. Unless it is made by me with healthy choices. 

4. No more deserts

5. Juicing once per day

6. at least 30 continuous minutes of exercise per day.

7. Weighing in once per week.

8. Every day I will post what I have eaten so that A) you all can see it and B) I Can see it and gain some feedback.

I don't know if Ill make it but I can say that its time to make some tough choices. Losing weight is like quitting smoking, both are extremely hard to do. Both involve breaking habits that are ingrained, but once you get into new, healthier habits, it snowballs, but like smoking, if you go one inch in the negative direction, you can fall off the wagon hard.
