Day one went pretty good and I’m pretty happy so far, I am making small changes to get the flub off. No more late night snacks, eat smaller portions, make better food choices and start moving my massive self again. I have challenged my Mom to lose weight with me and get healthy, we want to be able to do more and live better lives and be healthy so we are doing it together 🙂 Here is my first walking vlog to my Madre: #StayAccountable #GetFit #LiveRight
Down to 242 and on the down slope :)
Hazzah!! I have lost 6 pounds!! On track to meet my goal of 30 pounds down in 4 months 🙂 Grandma and I made a meal together again tonight, Grilled cheese pork sandwiches with a sweet onion jam with a side of cucumber tomato salad. I have to say, that was a fun one to cook and only took about 25 minutes to make.
I met all of my movement goals yesterday and got my walk in, I’m only about a quarter of the way there on my walking goal, I want to be able to walk for 45 minutes at a time with very little stopping or breaks, definitely going to need to step up my game Lebron and Steph Curry style 🙂
Funny for the day: I was enjoying the baseball game last night lounging in my recliner and nature was calling so I was getting ready to get up and much to my surprise, the power went off and so I thought oh man now I can’t watch the game….cutting my loses, I thought, well, I will just go the bathroom and the power will come back on so I went to de-recline my chair…ANNNDD it did NOT MOVE! That’s right folks, the joke was on me…my wonderful recliner is electric 🙂 Then I thought, surely the power will come back on in a sec….then it hits me…..I have to pee and I can’t get out of my chair! Well, the power DID NOT come back on until 3 hours later, man when it came on, I think I moved the fastest I have ever moved in a long time. Two things I learned in this experience, always have battery backups for electric devices and I can actually move pretty damn fast when I try 🙂
Until the next one folks, Get active and stay attractive 🙂
PS- We were glad to hear the good news about your friend’s cancer remission Uncle John, we will pray for them both 🙂 Next time you come, let’s make us some pizza 🙂
Down to 240!! 8 Pounds in 4 weeks….

Day 2: Tired but doing good
It’s day 2 and I did pretty well on the food front. I had a cajun roast beef sandwich (The spice burns fat too 🙂 ) and a hamburger with a little bake beans and cold slaw for dinner. As a snack, I got me some jacklinks beef jerky (No fat snack of champions) and I loaded up on water throughout the day.
Got my walk in at Walmart running errands, Madre got her walk in today too so we are off to the races – fat your ain’t no match for us!
Oh YES, We have Hit Day 5 – Walking to Drop 70lbs
So I can say that today was indeed a good day. What normally would have been a lazy Saturday in the recliner, as was my custom almost every weekend, turned out to be a fruitful and busy day. Had Frisco breakfast sandwich from Metro Diner this AM – It is a ham, egg and cheese deal on sourdough, very good, I only ate half and then had a cup of broccoli cheddar soup. In case you have tried either I would highly recommend as they are very tasty combination sure to satisfy any appetite 🙂
After Breakfast, I got me a shave and a haircut, gotta look good for church tomorrow. I am finding that since I have started moving every day for extended periods, longer than just going from the recliner to the kitchen or that can, I have more energy and already have started feeling better. I decided to capitalize on some of this new found energy and did some much-needed cleaning and organizing of my gear, needless to say my room is quite hospitable now 🙂
Just got to keep this up and I know the pounds will fall off! Really looking forward to doing a time-lapse video over the next few months and watch the fat literally melt away 🙂
Until tomorrow folks, blessings be upon you and God go with you.
Day 7 – Hassah!! We have Lost 5lbs.
Day 8: We got the Crud!
Back At IT!
Sweat is Good, Back at it with a Surprise!
Setting my Goal 45 minutes of Walking
Today was a good day, this is my third start to my goal to lose 70 pounds, but I am not fretting and embracing the process. Met my walking goal today with ten minutes of walking being my next goal tomorrow. I do want to lose the weight but my primary goal is to get physically fit enough to walk 45 minutes at a time because we are going on a riverboat cruise in Europe and I have to be able to keep up with the tour group, going to be lots to see and I don’t want to miss out! Wanted to give a special shout-out to our good friends John and Cheryl Roberts who came to visit us this past weekend, we really enjoyed spending time with you we hope you have an Awesome rest of your trip, we are blessed to know you, you two are the best 🙂
Oh and we already ordered the new security cam and are looking forward to playing with that baby, now we will almost be as cool as you PizzaMan…almost 🙂 Next time we can make some authentic Joe’s New York Pizza at the house, brace yourselves…I am learning to cook, heaven help the those who dare to eat it 🙂
