So today wasn’t as good as planned.
I drank soda, and I had fried food, and I had fast food.
I was at work, and a tender grill sandwich just looked SO good.
Tomorrow though, starts a brand new day. No soda, no fast food, nothing. I’m sticking to this diet and exercise routine, because I need this to happen. I want this to happen.
So, I’m getting off here, and starting my new sleeping routine. Night everybody :)
So I have decided to cut it down to 10, so that I can try to accomplish them, and not have too many to do. 10 seems like an easy number, and it is obtainable. So here we go :)
1. Stop eating fast food. None of it. I don’t care if it doesn’t have that many calories in it, I don’t want to be tempted to get something more.
2. No more soda. Soda pop carries way too many calories for me to be drinking it nonstop.
3. Try my best to bring up my Intro to Lit grade. I’m wanting a better GPA so that I can easily get into Alaska.
4. Workout at least 5 times a week. Working out will easily help my weight loss goals :)
5. Lose at least 10 pounds by the end of September. 2 1/2 pounds a week should be easily obtainable.
6. Start a conversation with 2 new people at OCC. Getting new friends is always a plus :)
7. Get on a regular sleeping schedule. I want to go to bed by 10pm every night, so that I can get get enough sleep every night so that I can be prepared for the next day :)
8. Save money up to buy a new car.
9. Pay my bills on time!!!!
10. Buy a new hoodie for winter <3. Sales are going on, right under my nose, and I’m missing out because I’m too cheap to actually buy me something that I need. So I’m wanting to buy a new hoody, and maybe a couple of shirts :)
So yeah, this is it. This is my “10 things to do in September” list. Sounds like it is going to be a busy month :)
Oooh wow. What can I even say? Well let me catch you up with what has been happening with my life thus far.
I decided to quit Burger King about a monthish ago, and try to get a job in a nursing home. Well I got the nursing home job, and then they decided that I needed more paperwork done, that I didn’t have. So they gave me the option of either quitting or being fired. So I quit.
So now I’m back at Burger King, which is WAY better than any job I have ever had. I love it there, and I love my boss.
Connie, my boss, has asked me to start working out with her, and I have. I have gone twice, nothing special, but I can feel the difference. My legs and arms are starting to hurt me today, but it’s a good hurt? lol.
Last night I also found out exactly, well almost exactly, I weigh. I weighed myself three times because I thought the scale was broken, but it wasn’t. I cried when I finally realized how much I weigh, because I cannot believe I let myself get this far.
My boss knew something was up, and quickly came over, and told me that it’s not about how much I weigh now, because that is just a starting number, and that it will change with time. I’m literally in tears at this point, still pissed at myself for what I have become. I will state this number later on in the blog for the people who want to know.
So, I’m starting new. Starting my life where I want it to be. Healthy. It’s not about losing weight, it’s about bettering myself so that I can accomplish the many dreams that I have.
First, I’m going to stop drinking soda. I remember back when I played football, I lost about 35 pounds just because I stopped drinking soda before the season. It adds unnecessary calories that I do not want. Water here I come <3
Another thing I am cutting out, is fried foods. I never thought they could be as bad as they are. Frying foods destroys all of the nutrients that are in the actual food. I can find other ways of eating.
Also, I’m not going to be eating fast food from this day on. None of it. I’m done. I work at burger king, and I know how bad these foods are for me to eat, but I never gave it a second look. Even the grilled chicken, which is supposed to be better for you, but it actually isn’t. I’m stopping.
Starting a workout plan will be beneficial to me so that I can start a daily routine of walking, stretching, lifting weights, or some other activity to keep me going throughout the day. So after I get off here, I’m going to be thinking, and writing down things that I find fun in my life, and incorporating some “workouts” in them. I will post some of them in a later blog :)
So now is the whole reason why I’m posting this blog. My “number”. I have decided that for me to start losing weight and being a healthier “Kevin”, I have to tell the world exactly how much I weigh, just to get the stress off of my shoulders. The first time I weighed myself, it came up to 448 pounds. Then it was 452 pounds, and the finally it evened out to be 449 pounds. So this is my starting point. 449 pounds. :) I can now say this with confidence because I KNOW that I will be losing the weight.
I’m hoping to lose 100 pounds by the start of my new life in Alaska. So I have 11 months to get there. This means, that I have to lose just a little bit less than two and a half pounds per week until August of next year :). I think I can do it lol.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, please post them. I will be checking regularly to see if anybody has posted :).
Also my next blog will be my “30 things to do in September” blog, even though it won’t be anywhere near 30 lol. Maybe 10?
So, thanks for reading, and sorry that I haven’t posted in quite a while.
Kevin :)
