Day 85: quick update

Dan — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:27:04 +0000

I have decided that I am not going to step on to the scale for a couple of weeks. Hopefully that will help me to get past my dependency on what the scale is telling me. I have decided to alter my diet slightly again. Be sure to check back soon for more details on how I intend to change my diet.

Exercise Addiction and Blog updates

Dan — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 04:56:30 +0000

I just can’t seem to get enough exercise! Over the last few days, all I can think about is going to the gym. Even after killing myself with a High Intensity Interval Training session, I just start to smile. I am loving it!

I have decided that as fun as it is the read my daily “journal,” it isn’t very informative or entertaining. I am going to try to post about some of the fitness and weight loss subjects that I have been researching with each post. Then at the end of the post I will add a little snippet about my progress.

That is all for now.

Apples, Gut Aches, and Milestones

Dan — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 17:49:04 +0000

Last night I gave into the temptation of pizza. I ended up eating a slice or two, nowhere near the 4-10 slices I would have eaten in the past, but I still gave in. About 30 minutes later, I regretted it. Not only did I feel guilty for betraying the trust that I placed in myself to be able to resist. I felt like I had just eaten a stick of butter. Instantly my body said to me “what have you done? I am used to getting decent food from you and now you give me this crap? What the hell?” Stomach ache! Ugh, I remember back a few months ago, when stomach aches like the one I had last night were common place. I ate crappy food each and every day, got sick each and every day, and had no idea that things could be better. Healthy food is not only better for you, I am starting to think that it actually tastes better too.

Apples! I have been craving apples every second of every day. I friggin’ love the things. They are delicious, nutritious, and fun to eat.I have eaten at least 2 apples every day for the past week, and I plan on continuing to do that for the rest of my days.

Apples are Greater than Pizza

Apples have been curbing my usually rampant sweet tooth, and they have made my regular “deposits” more regular . My friends, I have rediscovered a long standing super food: Apples!

On the note of weight loss progress…..

Over the last few days, I have been able to both lose my extra Las Vegas weight, and cross the line from the 60′s to the 50′s, and hope to be in the 40′s by next week. Admittedly my little “indulgence” with the pizza has slowed me down a pound or two, but after being sick last night I think I have learned my lesson(for now anyway). I see you all tomorrow with another video update.

p.s. I am soooo Finished Being Fat!

Yay! I am back, plus day 56 diary and weigh-in

Dan — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:39:35 +0000

Hey everybody, long time no see. I haven’t posted a video diary on my site for friggin’ ever. I am been in a serious funk for the past month which caused me to kinda get discouraged with this weight loss stuff. But never fear, I had an epiphany last week and I am back and more motivated than ever. I have been exercising every night at home using a stepping block. That makes working out super easy, because I can step whilst i Watch movies. Anyway with my new found motivation I was able to lose 5.4 Lbs. this week. As usual I filmed my weigh in and my diary entry for this week, and here they are:

Happy New Year! Day 19

Dan — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 00:38:51 +0000

Happy new year! I hope everyone had a good 2009. I did another quick video update today. I have a new years resolution or two to talk about today. First, I plan to continue engaging in my weight loss methods, and hope to continue seeing the progress I have been seeing. I also hope to compile a list of 100 Healthy and Tasty recipes to use for my weight loss journey.

I have also had a few really good comments from people checking out my youtube channel, and want to thank them for their advice.

Happy new year, and enjoy the vid:

Bad Habits, a little progress, and a video diary

Dan — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 22:10:31 +0000

Let me be straight forward, I have more than a few bad habits. But this week I have noticed a couple habits that really bothered me.

1. I am a mindless fridge zombie! It doesn’t matter if I am hungry or not, If i walk by the fridge I will open it. This is not a good thing, and this is defiantly a habit I need to kick!

2. I don’t chew my food. I inhale it! I need to teach myself to slow down and masticate. If I can learn to do that, I think I will be less prone to over eating.

Alright, now a little bit of good news(or at least I think it is good.) I have had to cut 2 new notches in my belt in the last few weeks, because my pants keep falling down.

And finally, in standard finished being fat fashion, here is another video diary….enjoy:

Christmas Eve Video Update

Dan — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 21:55:13 +0000

Happy Holidays Everyone! How is it going? Sadly, I am not going to hit 10 Lbs. at this weeks weigh-in, but i do still expect to be down from last week. I am just having too much fun eating delicious goodies during the holidays. Keep in mind though, I am not going crazy. I am still trying to use portion control, and only eat 1-2 cookies instead of 11-12 . Anyway, here is a short little video where I talk a little bit more about some holiday challenges, and some of my goodie eating philosophies. enjoy:

Oh, and by the way…I will be updating again this week, so be sure to check back soon for updates.
