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.

Day 70 Weigh-In, Diary, and Pledges

Dan — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:30:07 +0000

Hello there Internet, How is it going? I am glad to hear it is going good, it is going good for me too. I have dropped to a new weight low at: 358.6 Lbs.!!! Whoo, I am excited! I am going to shoot for the 340′s this week, and hope to be able to post a few posts this week about why and how I am finished being fat.

Before I post my videos this week, I would like to define some weight loss pledges some are old pledges, and some are new.

Pledge #1: I have said it before, and I am saying it again. I am finished being fat! I am done being lazy, and done being content with being overweight. Being fat and overweight totally friggin’ sucks. and I am done with it.

Pledge #2: I will exercise at minimum 40 minutes everyday. I have been able to do this every day this week, but I haven’t been doing it in the weeks previous to this last week. I need to stay dedicated to exercise.

Pledge #3: I won’t be embarrased by the fact that I am losing weight. For some reason I get very shy and timid about admitting to losing weight. For some reason I used to think that it was some for of weakness to want to improve my life. I am over that stupid adolecsent belief, and I am not afraid to admit it.

Pledge #4: I am going to stay true to my word in my goal to compete in a triathalon this year. I will still compete in my triathalon this year, and I will finish with a semi-decent time.

Pledge #5: I will actually follow through with my pledges. I have a history of getting super excited about reaching my goals for about 3 weeks, and then i usually get discouraged, and give up. Not this time, I have been working on losing weight for longer than ever before this time, and I am going to keep it going.

Alright, enjoy the videos:

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:

Day 23: Recipes!

Dan — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 05:36:37 +0000

I’ll be cooking and probably posting my first healthy new years recipe either tomorrow or Thursday, so be sure to check back in the next day or two. I talk in todays video a little bit about how I think that it is more important to learn to eat the correct portions rather than just stuffing yourself to the brim with “healthy” low calorie foods. I view this whole weight loss/Health thing as a long term “rest of my life” type of change, and i’d rather learn to eat correctly than just take a shortcut with crappy low-cal food. Enjoy the video:

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:

Day 17 quick update

Dan — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 17:07:51 +0000
