august 27, 2014
after a real long layoff i'm back with vengeance. got really down on myself for not doing well and took like six weeks off from exercising and diet. almost gave up and threw in the tower. had some other personal challenges too during this time. laid off of my job last month because the owner of our company was stealing a lot of money from it.
got a new job and passed the lenience exam to sell health insurance. got back to exercising this week with new gusto. exercised with circuit training for 75 minutes and 60 minutes repectfully. did boxing, weight training, and leg crunches on my total gym bench.
things are looking up and i'm back on the right track. so take care and God Bless!

taking a short rest and will do the second half soon.
now it is 7:57 and now will resume my workout. after dancing to john mellencamp "r.o.c.k in the usa" and his duet with me'shell ndegeocello "wild nights"; along with tina turner and rod stewart "it takes two", i finished my dance routine in 22 minutes.
tiem is 8:24 and my workout is complete. the elliptical burned 125 calories and the dancing burned 379 calories. todays workout burned a total of 504 calories in 37 minutes. this was a fun workout and burned some fat tonight.

up my exercise
july 7th, 2014
i'm sweating heavily after completing 31 minutes of dancing to you tube. i took like three breaks to get it done. feeling energized and can't wait to do it again on wednesday.
tonight i have blinding sweat and shirt full of the stuff. i'm alternating between the elliptical and dancing for my aerobic workouts. had to increase my exercise after seeing my weight slightly go up.
between my wedding anniversary on june 30th and the 4th of july, my diet got a little out of control. still determine to keep knocking that fat off my body so had to make changes. gave up bringing those microwave dinner to work since they are loaded with salt.
last night cooked hamburgers with no bread that i cooked for lunch today. i eat bread every other day to cut down and not get as bloated around the middle.
will report my weight in two weeks with these new changes. until next time take care and God Bless.

Started Exercising after six months
July 2, 2014
after a long lay off due to back pain and other issues, i started back exercising. taking it real slow to keep from injurying myself again and on the advise of my physical therapists. doing twenty minutes on my elliptical and working up a big hot sweat.
Also my wife had me walking in the park recently and went about a one mile and half. couldn't complete the full three miles due to back pulling. applied some arithis cream on my leg and foot when this was over.
still in the game and glad to be back. i will keep you guys informed on my progress. happy fourth to everyone and God Bless.

released from physical therapy
june 21, 2014
on thursday was released from physical therapy and no pain in my leg. i get a slight nagging pain in the side of my hip. i'm much better and can function like normal. i'm am thankful and glad. i used to be in so much unbelievable pain before. i use to have trouble standing, walking and the whole nine yards.
i had re-injured my back in december and hadn't work out since then. tonight i will do my first workout in my basement. i will do some light stuff since my phyical therapist advised to build up to doing weight lifting and boxing. so for now just aerobic stuff - elitical, walking, dancin and stretching.
my diet is going well. still keeping sugar to a minimum. every other week will eat a hershey candy bar. yesterday my wife brought me three cookies from her food day. i ate 2 of them and she ate one. i stopped buying sweets except for that candy bar twice a month. i drink water and non sweet tea. i drink three cups of coffee maybe once or twice a week with a spoon full of sugar in each cup.
still eating three meals with almost no snacking. eating a lot of fish and more vegatables that i like. last weekend made a pot of yams since my colorard greens had expired. my wife doesn't enjoy the smell of collard greens on a daily basis.
on june 7th had lost two more pounds. today the scale said i had gained a pound. that's good reason to add back the exercise and stretching to lose weight and keep from re injuring my back.
looking slimmer and went down a waist size. now down to a 46 in the waist and my wife has notice how smaller i've gotten. so back on a good roll and ready to keep tackling this weight and getting healthier and stronger.
well that's it for now, wish you guys success in your adventures. Rest in peace casey kasum, miss that top 40 countdown from my youth. until next time, take care God Bless.

18 month summary
june 6, 2014
this month marks 18 months in my journey to lose 100 pounds. i though i would provide a summary of what has happened so far.
my starting weight was 296 pounds of which i have lost nineteen pounds. it been a real struggle due to my bad back going out five times during this period. last year i had lost twenty three pounds but regained a lot of it during my down times.
most of this happen because i lost it while mainly exercising. recently all this changed when i ended up in the emergency department this year from injuring my diseased toe. i have gout and slammed it coming down the steps.
that inspired me to really change my diet drastically. i cut back on bread to every other day, cut sugar down 85 %, and cut dairy food to a minimal. as a result 90% of my new weight loss is due to diet.
there you have it in a nutshell my journey so far. until next time, take care and God Bless.

2 pounds down
may 24, 2014
got on the scale yesterday and it read 274 pounds. so in two weeks i lost another 2 pounds. all without any exercise and just dieting better. my stomach pain went away and still dealing with leg burning and occasional hip pain.
still in physical therapy twice a week. they have me stretching, massage and needle therapy. i think i turned a corner in my recovery recently. felt better but still have a long way to go and i can't wait to be pain free.
stopped eating junk out of vending machines and started bringing microwavable pre made dinner to work. hadn't had daily and sugar in over a month. eating light and only having three meals and maybe a health snack if i still get hungry at bedtime. drinking water and tea with honey for my liquids. I drink coffee like once every six days since i can't drink without sugar and limit it to three cups and one tablespoon of sugar.
still working on my goal and improving everyday. take care and God Bless.
