gearhead's Journal, 21 May 2012

So here I am getting ready to start my Induction challenge and look for a P90X challenge that will b starting in the next few weeks. Getting over a small chest cold and thinking about buying some nicotine patches so that my "cardio" will improve with the upcoming "training". I knew i wasn't fitting into even my "fat" clothes very well...but 190lbs is just preposterous! How could I have just NOT paid attention to the fact that i have gained more than 40 lbs in 2 years. I am almost as heavy as when I found this Atkins way of life oh so long ago.

The good news; I know what I am doing now. I have a CRAP-TON of recipes--not just on this website..but more tagged in my browser. I am armed with every possible solution to any challenge that may come my way. when i originally did this in my middle 20s, I lost 6 lbs a week consistently. for aprox 3 months..and lost 60lbs. I am hoping that with the start of the Induction phase and 2 weeks later start the P90X program-- i will hopefully be able to bring things back into acceptable parameters.

My man doesn't even notice the weight gain--allegedly...haha...i think its more like he doesn't mind it. but I know it's just not healthy--especially at my age..it wont get better if I dont start moving...so here it goes and wish me luck--we're all in this together!!
190.0 lb Lost so far: 0 lb.    Still to go: 66.0 lb.    Diet followed N/A.

HEY!!! mbhpro!! long time ..yep--im all geared up need a 2x1 for the pull-up dealie bobber...but ive been watching the dvds and got the workout calender set up..i bought some nicotine patches--'cause i know i am not going to want to smoke ever again after i push play the first time..lol. it looks low impact and do-able...but i know its going to take me longer than an hour for the 1st week or so..but thats the point i think--so no issues. the guy is so funny and there is enough change that getting bored wont be a problem...it's happened so many time with my pilates dvds...anyway--im chompin at the bit to get started...see you soon!
