the results

this regular middle aged morbid obese man finished out this year nine pounds lighter than i started it. today the scale read 287 pounds. my start weight in january was 298 pounds. as i wrote recently in my year end post, i had some serious challenges. in fact everyday is a challenge to lose any weight in the modern world i live in.

my work life consist of sitting in front of a computer for eight hours a day. then when i home i have more time to sit in front of  computer or tv. fast food and the mighty microwave makes food so accessible. like fifty years ago one had to work on the farm all day and burn off tons of calories and that kept one in shape.

i'm glad i live when i live but losing weight is more challenging. the good news is i'm still in the game and will never give up. i will reach my goal no matter how long it takes and what i have to do to make it happen.

since my last blog i've discovered and tried new things to help me get there. on you tube found the ultimate hiit (high intensity interval training) video that gets your heart rate up so much one person wrote within a few minutes they felt they were dying. it is definitely not for the week hearted. my first try i did about eleven minutes of it before stopping. i am bound and determine to finish it and keep doing that. the video is like a half hour that has little rest time and lots of maximum effort exercises in it.

so i'm still doing my thing and going for the goal. next year is more promising than this one. i'm still reaching, learning, and doing what i need to do to make it happen. keep dreaming, take care and God Bless.
