This will likely include topics like weight loss, technology, personal finance, investing, and possibly some other random stuff. Enjoy!Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04583419887558849623noreply@blogger.comBlogger130125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666021618459756541.post-56651360487820453072022-08-14T12:04:00.003-07:002022-08-14T12:06:18.924-07:00Week 1<p>Has it been a week already? I don't know about anyone else, but it sure feels as if the older that I get the faster time moves. When I was a kid, a week seemed to take an eternity. Now, weeks pass by so quickly. Anyway, let's look at the numbers.</p><p>I weighed in this morning at 407.2 pounds. Looking back, my previous weigh in registered at 410.5 pounds. That means that I have lost 3.3 pounds this week.</p><p>I am not displeased with those numbers. However, I am aware of a couple of times that I could have done better. It was interesting trying to lose weight again. It seems like I had to remind myself of a few things a couple of times. The times that I could have done better I was a pretty down on myself. I had to remember that with weight loss, it is important to focus on winning the overall war. Individual battles may not always be won and when things go that way it would be silly to wave a white flag and surrender. Because even though a couple of days could have been better, I still lost a decent amount of weight. This was because I won more of the battles than I lost this week.</p><p>There is something that feels empowering about taking control of your diet. When not paying attention and counting calories it is easy to be unaware of how much I am consuming calorie wise. I think for me anyway, it is because I don't often think about what is in food. I guess that maybe I just go off what I perceive to be quantity. That is a mistake. For example, this burger is the same size as that burger therefore they are equal. But what if one burger has mayo and ketchup and the other has only mustard?</p><p>Patience is difficult. I remember when I lost close to a hundred pounds on my first weight loss journey. That took years. Because the goal was a couple of pounds every week and sometimes you would hit plateaus. This will test me. Because I want to make progress quickly. Frustration can easily set in even when making progress. More so when I hit a plateau. Some of the most frustrating weighs in from first journey were when I had a really good week, hit all my marks, only to weigh in and be the exact same weight as the week before or maybe even post a small gain.</p><p>I am not a doctor, but it stands to reason that there are many changes going on when attempting to lose weight. It was my experience the last time I had success that as I lost weight it was much easier to be more active. I had taken up walking to assist with the progress I had made. When that is the case then you are surely building some muscle mass. But on the other hand, it takes muscle to move around a 400-pound frame.</p><p>Should anyone else be following along and in a similar situation with needing to lose large quantities of weight, here is something that I have learned. Well intentioned people will want to help you. And to that end they may say things like, what would really speed this up is if you took on insert exercise routine here. Something like P90X maybe. Usually, the people that have told me this are not massively overweight. So, I just say in a nice way, imagine you had a person exactly your weight piggyback and then you tried to do P90X. How long do you think your joints would last? Would your knees or ankles hold up or would you do a lot of damage to your body? I do not say that to be mean to that person as I know they are trying to help.</p><p>Oh, that reminds me, well intentioned people may also say you should try X diet or Y diet. There may come a time where exercise routines or diets are the best way to move forward. But at double my target weight I need to do things that are doable for me right now. As it stands now, when I get home from work, I am exhausted. Specialized meal prep and so on most likely would not happen or be something I could do long term. I feel like making it through the workday is a battle in itself.</p><p>At any rate, my plan right now is to stay within my calorie budget. I know that once I drop some weight it will be easier for me to do activities. At that time, I will take up walking again. That was how I lost a hundred pounds the first time. Perhaps when I am down a hundred pounds, I will need to take up something else to continue to move forward. For now, I think this is the best plan for me. I appreciate all the encouragement I received from everyone. It is great knowing that people care. I hope that if you are someone that has recommended an exercise routine or diet to me that you understand where I was coming from. It is a blessing to have people care enough about you to want to help. I appreciate and am lucky to have people in my life that want to help me. If someone has never been massively overweight, it is difficult to fully communicate what it is like. When I lost those hundred pounds, I keep talking about I could do so much more activity and I felt like a million bucks. It will transform my life and I cannot wait to get there. Until next week my friends. Goodbye.</p>Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04583419887558849623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666021618459756541.post-64702418709569347032022-08-07T12:34:00.022-07:002022-08-07T12:40:22.309-07:00I must do this!Here I go again. I have been pretty inconsistent over the course of this blog. Yet, something must change. I cannot continue to live this way. I must do this!<div><br /></div><div>My current weight is 410.5 pounds.</div><div><br /></div><div>I honestly cannot go on living like this. I mean that quite literally. I ask myself what the average lifespan of a 400-pound man might be? I don't really want to know the answer to that. In many ways, clues to that manifest themselves in my life every day. For example, both of my knees are shot. I am sure that at least the left one probably needs some type of surgery and yet I am confident that any doctor would tell me that I need to lose weight first. Otherwise, it would be pointless. Knees are not meant to carry around this type of weight for years and years on end.</div><div><br /></div><div>I think back to when I began this blog and my first weight loss journey. At that time, I weighed around 350 pounds and I found that number unacceptable. Now, I weigh 60 pounds more than that. The first weight loss journey I was able to lose around 100 pounds and it took me years to do that. I have always wanted to do it for myself. Because I just know that if I have a procedure to help me lose weight that once I had lost the weight, I would not have learned how to do it for myself. I would have been forced into it and my biggest fear would be to have a procedure and gain all the weight back since I did not learn how to lose weight. On the other hand, I have not been successful at keeping weight off since initially losing those 100 pounds.</div><div><br /></div><div>The tools I will use to lose weight will be similar to what I have used in the past. I will track my weight weekly on Sunday mornings. I will log my calorie intake daily in MyFitnessPal. I have used Lose It in the past but let me explain why I want to go back to MyFitnessPal after using Lose It the last several attempts. I used MFP back when I had the most success. It is not so much about that. It actually has everything to do with my step counter. I simply enjoy the way that MFP integrates my Apple Watch into my daily logs. With LI there does not seem to be much data regarding steps or anything. It is only when you have a lot of activity that you see an adjustment to your calories budget. What I find with MFP though is that as I log my calories it is very easy to see my last synced step count and I found that was often times a motivator to get up and be more active.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am thinking hard about whether or not I want to make some kind of commitment that if I have not lost weight in a year that maybe I will just undergo a procedure anyway. I will continue to think about that and discuss further in future blog posts. Something has to give. That is for sure, and I don't want it to be my time on earth. More in a week. Goodbye.</div>Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04583419887558849623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666021618459756541.post-56553966654344015922019-12-07T17:00:00.002-07:002019-12-07T17:00:26.567-07:00Good News and Bad NewsWell, I have good news and bad news this week. That said, it may be that the good news has some bearing on why there is bad news. Maybe not, I don't want to make any excuses. Let's get down to business.<br />
<br />
My previous weigh in was 386.0 pounds. When I weighed in this morning I had gained 3.4 pounds. My current weight is 389.4.<br />
<br />
So, where is the good news? The good news is that one of my dearest friends ordered me a scale online and had it sent to my house. Thank you again! This scale has a lot of nice features like Bluetooth so it syncs with my phone. It also measure many things other than just weight. It is awesome.<br />
<br />
I would lean toward believing that my old scale was just inaccurate. I do not feel like I did anything over the top this week that would have caused me to gain 3.4 pounds. I think that since I have a new scale I will begin weighing myself daily but still report every Saturday. I believe that will help me to better identify things that are not helping my weight loss goals (just in case I really did gain weight). Plus, the new scale is pretty cool and I find myself wanting to weigh more often. So anyway, that is the good news. That I hopefully have a scale providing me accurate information so that I can really get on with this program. I hope that everyone has a fantastic week and I will have better news next time. Take care!Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04583419887558849623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666021618459756541.post-61464225574470714672019-11-30T22:47:00.004-07:002019-11-30T22:47:50.891-07:00Thanksgiving 2019Hello and welcome to my Thanksgiving week blog update. One of the most dreaded updates of the year. Was I able to lose weight despite the holiday? Keep reading to find out.<br />
<br />
For the previous weigh in (11/24) I was at 383.0 pounds. When I weighed in this morning I had gained 3 pounds. My current weight is 386.0 pounds.<br />
<br />
So, I have this frustrating relationship with my scale. No, it is not what you are probably thinking. Sure, I want it to always show me losing weight. But this frustration stems from the fact that it is not really very accurate. It is a digital scale but it is getting old. It is supposed to record my weight when I step on it but it acts a little bit like an analog scale instead. When I step on it, it fluctuates before it settles on a number. What it is supposed to do is lock in on a number and flash that number and then stay on the screen for a while. What it does lately is fluctuate until it eventually shuts off. So I step on it several times, this morning it was probably five or six times before it will flash and give me a number.<br />
<br />
Now what is frustrating about this is that the fluctuations themselves are dramatic. One step on it was fluctuating around 379. Honestly the time it locked in was the highest reading of any. Usually it was around 383 to 384. I do not really want to buy a new scale right now as finances are tight. I suppose there is accuracy in a ball park figure overall as with weight loss it should be reading lower over time I suppose. Still, it is frustrating.<br />
<br />
I need to work harder. I have been trying to be more active at work. This past week however we had off everyday but two so being at home more was not helpful either. I should have motivated myself to take some walks or something but I did not. I should also mention that my scale has been doing the fluctuation thing for some time so the previous weigh in may have also been inaccurate. Perhaps that one landed on one of the lower readings and registered. Anyway, enough complaining about my scale. I hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Check back next week for the new post. Later!Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04583419887558849623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666021618459756541.post-26109305436403496032019-11-24T11:04:00.002-07:002019-11-24T11:04:51.262-07:00Wow!I apologize for not posting yesterday which should have been weigh in day. Things got a little busy, we went to a birthday party and by the time we made it back home it was late. I strongly prefer to weigh myself I the morning. I believe that having a routine weigh in time gives me the most accurate measurement of progress.<br />
<br />
My previous weigh in on 11/16 was 387.4 pounds. When I weighed in today I had lost 4.4 pounds. My current weight is 383.0 pounds. I am pretty happy with those numbers for reasons that I will detail below.<br />
<br />
The reason this post is titled Wow! is because I was actually not very good at sticking with my calorie goals yesterday. I already mentioned that we went to a birthday party. My friend's son turned three. He is such an awesome kid. We played Spider-Man vs. Captain America. They would fight and he would laugh. Anyway, back to the point of this post. I ate way too much pizza and I did have some cans of Coke. Plus, after I got home from the birthday party I ended up eating after 11pm. Eating late is not good for the weight loss program.<br />
<br />
The truth is that I started this week strong but started to lose some resolve as the week went on. In all honesty, the soda that I had at the birthday party were not the first during the past week. That is something that I will need to keep working on. I am surprised to have lost 4.4 pounds and yet excited to keep working at it. Until next time, so long!Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04583419887558849623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666021618459756541.post-50886134437527866282019-11-16T11:40:00.002-07:002019-11-16T11:40:32.436-07:00I'm BackWell friends, here I am again. I doubt anyone even reads this anymore but perhaps it is cathartic for me to write the blog. That is what I am hoping anyway. I keep trying to lose weight but then I end up giving up. Perhaps this time will be different.<br />
<br />
Lately my knee has really been bothering me. I have no doubt that being overweight to this magnitude is not helping matters. The last time that I weighed (prior to today) was October 21st and on that day, I set a record. Not a good record either. In hunting and fishing, the bigger and heavier the animal, the better. But I am a man and so being bigger and heavier is bad for me. Bad for my health and bad for my life in general.<br />
<br />
Back to the point, on October 21st I weighed in at a disappointing 392 pounds. That is the heaviest that I have ever weighed as far as I know. A mere 8 pounds from 400! Today I weighed again and I now weigh 387.4.<br />
<br />
A couple of factors have forced me to make changes. One is my knee for sure. It is kind of not cool when your knee hurts. It really puts a crimp on one's desire to get up and move around. I don't like it! Financial issues also necessitate that I reduce my spending a bit and the first thing on the chopping block has to be eating out. I am looking at both of these factors as opportunities though instead of problems. These are opportunities to make some things right. I must seize them and use this as the impetus for a healthier future. Tomorrow is not guaranteed, but it is more likely for those that make wise decisions.Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04583419887558849623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666021618459756541.post-16784505503944518472019-05-11T11:31:00.004-07:002019-05-11T11:31:47.005-07:00On Track<div>
Life has been busy lately but I cannot let that impact my goals. I need to stay on track. That will be the key to whether I am able to lose weight consistently. So how did I do? Let's start with the numbers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The previous weigh in on 5/1 was 386.2 pounds. When I weighed in one week later on 5/8 I had lost 2.2 pounds. My weight on that date was 384.0 pounds.<br />
<br />
The reason for the success during that week was logging calories every day. It is difficult for me to know with any certainty how many calories I have consumed if I am not logging them. It can creep up on me. I know others may not have this problem, but I certainly do. Perhaps this is systemic of a larger problem. A problem of stuffing my face without really thinking too much about it.<br />
<br />
I am pretty happy to have been more consistent this week. I am feeling motivated at the moment and need to keep up this progress. I don't want to relapse and gain weight. No matter what happens, I am determined to keep this blog going. Times that I have stopped blogging have resulted in some big weight gains. I am just tired of being overweight. Stay tuned to see where things go from here. Stay safe my friends!<br />

Hello! So I decided to make a change to the day that I weigh in. That is why there was no weigh in or blog post last Saturday. I am moving my weigh in day to Wednesday. I will then write the blog post for that weigh in at some point over the following weekend. Let's take a look at the numbers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The previous weigh in on 4/20 was 386.6 pounds. When I weighed in on Wednesday (5/1) I had lost 0.4 pounds. My weight on that date was 386.2 pounds.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I struggled between those two weigh ins with consistency again. I know that it is important to keep track of calories consumed because it is very easy to get out of control and not even fully realize it. The reason for moving the weigh in date has a couple of benefits. One was that I found it hard to enjoy a Friday night knowing that there was a weigh in coming in the morning. I know this kind of sounds counter productive but in a weird kind of way it was stressing me out. I am not sure if that makes any sense. The other benefit is that it frees me up to write the blog post anytime over the following weekend. So, I guess that is kind of the bottom line. It is easier to weigh in midweek but easier to update the blog over the weekend.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I normally will try not to comment on progress since the weigh in (weigh in was Wednesday but updating the blog Friday night) but I will only say here that this has helped me quite a bit already. I have been doing pretty good at logging my calories consumed since switching weigh in days. Prior to that however, I was not doing a very good job of it. Below are the numbers and that is why there are gaps. For the next blog update there should not be any gaps. I am excited for the next blog update as I am hoping for solid progress. Until then, take care!</div>

This past week has been very bad for me. I really have no idea how much I may have gained back from simply recovering from being so sick and how much of it is due to my own failings. I am sure it was a little of both that equaled a huge setback. Let's get to the numbers.<br />
<br />
The previous weigh in on 4/13 was 374.6 pounds. When I weighed in this morning I have gained 12 pounds. My current weight is 386.6 pounds.<br />
<br />
The bottom line is that I know that I messed up a lot. I did not keep track of the calories that I consumed this week. I have to do better. I lost focus this week and just felt too busy to log calories. Which is kind of comical because it really doesn't take very long to log. I am pretty disappointed and discouraged right now.<br />
<br />
I am going to go ahead and enter what I did log even though it is incomplete. I need to get focused and motivated. I felt like I did more from an activity point of view. Let's see if that is reflected in my calorie burns. Here are the numbers. Again, the calorie consumption numbers are incomplete. The calorie burns are accurate since I always wear my Apple Watch. I hope to something better to write about next time.<br />
<br />
4/13 3,200 calories in, 3,911 calories out<br />
4/14 2,098 calories in, 3,933 calories out<br />
4/15 nothing logged in, 4,118 calories out<br />

I have had quite the week. I hope everyone had a much better week than I did. Even when times are difficult there can be positive outcomes. This may be one such occasion. I will write about that in more detail shortly. Let's begin with the numbers and go from there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The previous weigh in on 4/6 was 384.0 pounds. When I weighed in just a few minutes ago I have lost 9.4 pounds. My current weight is 374.6 pounds.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How did I lose this much weight in one week? It is pretty easy when can't keep anything down. I was so sick. I cannot remember the last time that I was this sick. That may not be so unusual given that I am getting old as dirt. I missed quite a bit of work and technically when I went back was still having problems. I don't want to get too graphic but it was a very rough week. I barely ate anything and drank lots of fluids to try to stay hydrated.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Unfortunately I don't know what else to really say about the week. I am going to post the partial numbers that I have below. I apologize that I failed to log calories on some of those days. Hopefully I can keep most of this weight off without any rubber band effect since I am starting to feel better. I am going to do my best. Hopefully the next blog post will be a bit more interesting than this one. That said, I do like the numbers. Stay safe my friends.</div>

I have to admit at the outset that I did not want to write this blog post. Prior to weighing, I knew that I had a rough week. I was afraid that I may have gained everything back. I will get into that more shortly. First, let's get the numbers out of the way.<br />
<br />
The previous weigh in on 3/30 was 383.2 pounds. The past week resulted in a gain of 0.8 pounds. My current weight is currently 384.0 pounds.<br />
<br />
I am actually pretty relieved to see that number. This past week I had very little restraint. I feel like a hypocrite writing about temptations that I recognized last week and yet I succumbed to them this week in a big way. I am disappointed and feel like a failure. This was responsible for my reluctance to write this blog post.<br />
<br />
Yet, I know that for me, this race is not going to be easy. No one is going to run it for me and I am going to stumble. I have to get back up. I have to fight. I have too much on the line. I will force myself to write about it when I fail because failure will not be an option for me. I will only be a failure if I give up. I hope that anyone reading this blog will be able to relate in some way and understand that if I say something one week that I may miss the mark the next. But my intentions are sincere.<br />
<br />
I am very embarrassed to post these calorie numbers from the past week but I own this shortcoming. This was my fault. I will not paint it as something it was not. I need a better week to write about next time. Until then, goodbye!<br />

It was interesting to be back on the weight loss routine. I definitely noticed a couple of things that were temptations and points of failure prior to starting this up again. I will get into that shortly. First, let's see take a look at how the numbers for the first week stacked up.<br />
<br />
The previous weigh in on 3/23 was 388.0 pounds. My past week of effort was rewarded with 4.8 pounds of weight loss. My current weight is now 383.2 pounds.<br />
<br />
Two things very much stood out to me this past week. One was that I have a problem with eating very late at night. That is not a healthy habit because you don't really give your body a chance to burn any of those calories. I was so tempted to eat late at night. I was not perfect on this front. I believe that a couple of times I ate after midnight. To combat this, I counted those calories on the next day's log which reduced the calories that were available to me going into that day. Still, I know that is not a good habit and I will make every effort to stop that. The second thing was that when I am super busy and do not get to log my calories at the time I eat or before I eat again, problems happen. If you refer to the calorie log below, the two days I consumed 3k plus calories both happened on days that were busy and I ended up logging calories at the end of the day. Then I was disappointed to find out how many calories were in some of those items. I will also make more of an effort to log calories in a more timely fashion.<br />
<br />
All things considered, I have to say that I am pretty excited to have lost nearly five pounds. I have a long way to go and I know that this was probably going to be easiest weigh in that I will have. Based on prior experience and common sense, things will only get more difficult from here. Still, I know that I can do this and I am motivated to stay the course. Thank you to everyone that offered me encouragement and kind words. I appreciate you all so very much! Take care!<br />

I am reticent to even write this post to be honest. Putting oneself out there on a subject like weight loss is great when you are doing well but what I have found is that I begin to feel like a phony when I attempt to start again. I have heard many times that the most successful people in the world failed quite a bit before becoming successful. I am hoping that this can be true of my weight loss journey as well. Anyone that has followed my journey will know that I have started and stopped many times now. For those that have followed it since the beginning, I did lose close to 100 pounds the first time. I write all this because it is difficult for me to put a stake in the ground and tell you that I am going to do this. In my mind, there will be those that say, "Yeah right, we have heard that before." But that assumes anyone even reads this blog. Haha. At least I have not lost my sense of humor.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Still, I must decide to do this. The thing that helped me in the past was knowing that I was going to make my weight loss journey public and that would keep me accountable. So, here we go. I just weighed in this morning and my current weight is 388 pounds even. I have a lot of work to do. I plan to weigh in weekly now simply because that affords me a weekend to write these blog posts. I will log my calories with the Lose It app. Let me know if anyone wants to follow me there. I will log my activity using my Apple Watch. I may or may not log my weekly calorie consumption vs. burn numbers inside each blog post. I had made a separate post for that in the past just for my own records.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am pretty excited to start this process again. It is very much needed. Hopefully some people will find this content interesting or perhaps even find motivation as well. That would be incredible. To that end, I will be posting links to my Facebook account. Hopefully people do that find that super annoying. I am always conflicted by it but on the other hand it is very similar to a regular FB post in that I am sharing how I am doing and what is going on in my life. Anyway, I will stop rambling now. Check back next Saturday to see how much progress has been made. Oh, I forgot to mention that my goal is the same as it has always been. I want to weigh in under 200 pounds. Technically, I would love to get back to my high school weight of 175 pounds but that would be the extra push after the big initial goal. Until next time, goodbye!</div>

It has been more than a month since my last blog post. At some point after the post that precedes this one I lost focus for a time. On April 23rd I regained my focus and put into place a new kind of motivation for myself. This post is being written on May 5th and at least to this point it has worked well for me. More on that in a moment. For now, let me catch everyone up on what has happened since the 23rd of April.<br />
<br />
On the 23rd of April, I weighed in at 388.8 pounds. I was just sick of it. My body was never meant to carry that kind of weight and it has been making me painfully aware of that recently. This brought on my idea of what I could do to keep myself motivated throughout the year that I will discuss later on. I weighed again on the 25th of April and then everyday since. The 25th of April is when I began to count calories. Below I will detail my weight on each of those days.<br />
<br />
April 25th: 385 (lost 3.8)<br />
April 26th: 385 (lost 0)<br />
April 27th: 383.6 (lost 1.4)<br />
April 28th: 385.6 (gained 2)<br />
April 29th: 383.6 (lost 2)<br />
April 30th: 383.4 (lost 0.2)<br />
May 1st: 383.4 (lost 0)<br />
May 2nd: 383.2 (lost 0.2)<br />
May 3rd: 382 (lost 1.2)<br />
May 4th: 380.8 (lost 1.2)<br />
May 5th: 380.6 (lost 0.2)<br />
<br />
This means that I have lost 8.2 pounds since the 23rd of April. That is not necessarily incredible but it is a system that I can keep doing. So what is this motivation that I had mentioned? Well, I was thinking about how I need all kinds of different goals to keep myself motivated. When I lost close to 100 pounds the first time it was because I kept goals that were small and then the overall big goal. An example of a small goal for me right now will be to break below the 380 pound mark. I should be able to do that very soon. It is within reach and attainable. My big goal would be to break below 200 pounds and perhaps someday even attain my high school weight of 175.<br />
<br />
What is the common theme between both the small term goal and the long term goal? They are just numbers! There are also no intermediate goals. Once you chew through (pun intended) a few of those short term goals it can get redundant. There is always a new number that is within reach but if I am not careful I can lose sight of the why.<br />
<br />
What I have decided to do is to add an intermediate goal that has meaning to me besides just being another number. Numbers do eventually get a little boring to me. There is significance to the time frame of me starting this and what turned me on to this idea. When I was in California in March helping my folks out with some work my father expressed that he was very concerned about my weight and the impact that will have on my life. In some ways I suspect that most guys want to make their father proud. It took me some time after the fact to collect myself and take action.<br />
<br />
April 25th is my father's birthday and it just so happens that I have someone important to me with a birthday spread across the entire calendar year within a few months of each other. Mom's is in July. One daughter is September, the other daughter is November. My birthday is in February. Then it repeats. While I am losing the weight for myself, it does help me put down that last slice of pizza when I consider that my mom just might treasure me dropping 25 pounds by her birthday more than any other gift I could give her.<br />
<br />
Now I always have someone to think about whenever I am tempted. Not like in a judgmental way at all. I just focus on how I want to have an amazing weight loss number for them by their birthday. Then we will both have something to celebrate on their special day!Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04583419887558849623noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666021618459756541.post-4477216131805285142018-03-10T09:24:00.000-07:002018-03-10T09:24:02.989-07:00Not EasyWelcome to another weigh in post! Today is March 10th and I have some good news to report. I have to be honest. I was very tempted to have a late night snack last night. That is not a good thing before a weigh in the next morning. Instead, I turned off the lights and went to bed. Losing weight is not easy but it feels good to do the right thing.<br />
<br />
I nearly lost 4 pounds (3.8) since my prior weigh in which was March 5th. My current weight is 376.2 pounds. This puts my total weight loss at more than 5 pounds (5.6) and my total weight loss from my heaviest weigh in at exactly 7 pounds.<br />
<br />
I have been very good about following my calorie budget. This is a lifestyle change for sure. It cannot be something that you do for a little while and then go back to your old habits. A friend of mine mentioned his uncle having successfully dropped a lot of weight and then gaining it back but then losing it again. In a way, that is kind of what happened to me. Although I never reached my target weight the first time, I did drop close to 100 pounds only to gain it back again plus some. This time needs to be different. This time will be different. I am done with this!<br />
<br />
I am excited to see more progress at my next weigh in which will be March 15th. I love the energy that I am getting back already. I mentioned before that I have a little more spring in my step and in addition, I think my attitude is better. I think that sometimes in life we feel that we are not steering the ship so to speak. That we are kind of just along for the ride. Friends, weight is something that we can exert our control over. It does take discipline and restraint, but the rewards are going to be so worth it! Goodbye for now!Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04583419887558849623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666021618459756541.post-24771369170434952492018-03-05T22:07:00.001-07:002018-03-05T22:07:30.316-07:00Moving Forward<div>
Today was so exhausting. Being out of shape and overweight is a bad combination. Does that make me captain obvious? Ha! I sometimes think that people that have never been overweight can't really relate. See, in my current condition it is like I am carrying another 200 pound man around on my back for every single thing that I do. People sometimes say, well, you just need to go out and start working out. While that is true, it certainly limits your activities to those that are not high impact because the knees and ankles can only take so much. Anyway, my point being that it almost takes a careful balancing act between eating healthy to drop some pounds in order to be able to increase activity. I know that from my previous weight loss journey that it gets so much easier once the pounds start to drop a bit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have already noticed a little more bounce in my step. That probably has more to do with counting my calories and eating less than any substantial weight loss at this point. It is welcome either way. Today I needed it. I did manage to lose some weight though so here are the numbers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I lost a little more than 3 pounds (3.2) since my prior weigh in which was March 1st. My current weight is back to 380.0 pounds. This puts my total weight loss at nearly 2 pounds (1.8) and my total weight loss from my heaviest weigh in at a little more than 3 pounds (3.2).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am pleased with this progress even though I am really just back down to my February 25th weight. I have been diligent in managing my calories and have been trying to be more active. I was under my calorie budget every day except for one and that over budget day was nominal. I am confident that I will be able to continue to make progress now that I am logging all of my calories.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am excited to report again on March 10th, the next weigh in date. I am getting encouragement from friends and that always helps. I really want to thank all of you again. I do it in person or when we chat but I want you to know that it really does help and motivate me. Thank you to those of you that follow along and hold me accountable as well. Sometimes I need a kick in the butt. I look forward to breaking through this 380 pound mark and charting some new territory. Check back on the 10th to see if I succeed in that endeavor. Until then, bye!</div>

This the month that I started my weight loss journey again in earnest. Unfortunately, it ended with a whimper. I had one really bad day since the last weigh in and it had a shockingly dramatic effect on my weight loss numbers. It is disappointing but I am not going to let it derail my goals. Instead, I have taken steps to address that issue. More on that later. Here are the numbers.<br />
<br />
I gained a little more than 3 pounds (3.2) since my prior weigh in which was February 25th. My current weight is 383.2 pounds. I am surprised because while I know I had a bad day, that is a fairly big change. It almost makes me question the consistency of my scale.<br />
<br />
So here is the wrap up for February 2018:<br />
<ul>
<li>Total weight <span style="color: red;">gain</span> to date: 1.4 pounds</li>
<li>Total weight <span style="color: red;">gain</span> this year: 1.4 pounds</li>
<li>Total weight <span style="color: red;">gain</span> February 2018: 1.4 pounds</li>
<li>Total weight still to lose: 208.2 pounds</li>
</ul>
<div>
I was overly confident about how easy it would be to lose weight. It is typically easier to lose weight when you first get started. So what steps have I taken to address this? The biggest thing is going back to logging calories. Logging calories always seems like such a pain. However, this is beneficial for me because it is very easy for me to lose track of about how many calories I may have consumed without this tool. I am using the app Lose It. I like the app. I have also used MyFitnessPal. Both are great. The other tool I will be using is my Apple Watch to track my steps and calorie burn. I will ramp up my calorie goal as I go along to move me toward being more active. Lastly, I am going to make "one" my theme. One as in, one serving is enough. I may be hungry but no one said losing weight would be easy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next weigh in will be March 5th. I started logging my calories on the 28th. I actually weighed on the 27th and was heavier than I am now. That was the impetus to start logging calories. I am confident that I can drop some weight by the next weigh in if I stay consistent with logging my calories. Thanks for joining me on this adventure. Check back soon! Goodbye.<br />

In case you missed my last blog post, I am back on my weight loss journey. Today is the first weigh in since I started on my birthday just three days ago. I typically weigh every fifth day. Usually that would be the 5th, 10, 15th, 20th, 25th, and 30th on those months that have 30 days. My plan right now is to do a video blog update on the 1st of every month. I like this idea because then I would be able to see my transformation captured in video format. What do you think?<br />
<br />
I was able to make some progress in these three short days. Getting started is always difficult because it is hard to break patterns of behavior and start new ones. If I had to rate myself on how well I accomplished this it would probably only be a C+. I had one day where I went a little overboard and that is always disappointing. Still, as long as I have more positive days than negative, I should lose weight. That was the case for this weigh in.<br />
<br />
I was able to drop a little more than 1 pound (1.2) since February 22nd. My current weight is 380.0 pounds. At this weight I know that I can do better. On the other hand, three days is not a very long time frame to do it in.<br />
<br />
The next weigh in will be on February 1st. I will have a write up here summarizing my monthly progress and will also have an accompanying video blog post as well. Keep your eyes out for that and thanks for following along. Time to get busy. Goodbye for now!Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04583419887558849623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666021618459756541.post-50390103708944024852018-02-22T16:31:00.001-07:002018-02-22T16:36:26.652-07:00Happy Birthday!Hello and welcome to the resistance. Today is my birthday! Woohoo! I am 44 years old today. While it is a happy day it is also a day to reflect on some things. One of those things is the elephant in the room. Pun intended. I need to start up the weight loss blog again. I am always torn on trying to do this because there is a side of me that says, "You have said this before." People don't want to hear how you are going to start this up again. Maybe there is some truth to that but I need to do this anyway so hopefully some of you are still in my corner.<br />
<br />
So, for quite some time now my weight has been right around 380 pounds. I weighed yesterday because I knew that I was going to use my birthday to put a stake in the ground on this journey. Yesterday I weighed in at 382.4 pounds. I also weighed today and that came in at 381.8. So I have gotten just a little bit of a head start.<br />
<br />
Birthday's are probably not the best time to start a weight loss journey but here is the thing, life is full of reasons and opportunities to not manage what you eat well. It is easy to say after the holidays I am going to get serious. But the holidays are going to roll around again a year from now and how will you manage then? I am saying this for myself as much as anything because I am guilty of having done that in the past as well.<br />
<br />
That being said, we are going out to eat tonight. The mistake that I make sometimes is trying to be so restrictive that I lose my desire to continue. I will admit, that hasn't happened in quite some time, obviously. I keep thinking it was "just a few years ago" as I said in a YouTube video I uploaded to accompany this post (Find the link below) and in looking into it, my previous journey where I lost close to 100 pounds was back in 2012.<br />
<br />
My next weigh in will be on February 25th. Even though we will celebrate my birthday tonight, I am going to do my best to have progress to report by then. Thanks for following along and not giving up on me! Until next time, goodbye!<br />

Part of the issue is that I feel like a fraud. I have tried to start up the weight loss blog so many times and failed that I feel like no one wants to hear about how I am back on the weight loss kick. We all know that words are cheap and that action speaks louder than words. To that end, I decided that before I write another blog post about me losing weight that I should prove it first. So, rather than posting about my intentions, I have been working on it for a few days now and have had some success.<br />
<br />
This stemmed from a conversation with my parents. My father basically said that he was worried that he would outlive me. He is 81 by the say so this was a statement that really got my attention. As I thought about it, I realized that I have to do something. My kids need me around and this is not a joke or a game. I have a responsibility to my family to do that right thing.<br />
<br />
I started to count calories on September 5th. Below is a breakdown of my weigh ins. I have been weighing daily to keep myself focused. Ordinarily, I don't like doing that because it makes one a little obsessed but at this point, being obsessed with losing weight could be just what I need.<br />
<br />
Sept 5. - 377.4 pounds - Completely unacceptable.<br />
Sept 6 - 375.2 pounds - 2.2 pounds lost.<br />
Sept 7 - 374.4 pounds - 0.8 pounds lost.<br />
Sept 8 - 374.0 pounds - 0.4 pounds lost.<br />
Sept 9 - 371.0 pounds - 3.0 pounds lost.<br />
<br />
Since September 5th I have lost 6.4 pounds. This is a good start. I know that this will only get more difficult. I also know there will be days that I don't lose anything or possibly even gain but I must do this. It is far too important to ignore any longer. I know that I have said this in the past. I am excited to prove it. I am not certain how frequently I will update the blog. I was thinking about only doing it when weight loss milestones were hit, like maybe every five pounds of weight loss or something. I will have to think about it. I hope that you follow along. Until next time, so long!Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04583419887558849623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666021618459756541.post-35215711574610616662017-06-01T21:27:00.003-07:002017-06-01T21:41:40.394-07:00Try AgainI have to try again. My weight has only gotten worse. I need to get off this path. I currently weigh 374.2 pounds. It is ridiculous. I have my annual wellness check on June 5th. I stopped caring about my weight a while ago and I am hoping that I care enough to stick with it now. I have rebooted this time and again though, so we will see. My goal is to post an update on June 5th.Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04583419887558849623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666021618459756541.post-92206300608096334632017-06-01T21:21:00.001-07:002017-06-01T21:21:23.243-07:00Calories 6/1/17-6/4/17<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">6/1/2017: </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Consumed 4,146 calories. 3,426 calories burned according to Apple Watch.</span><br />

For me, the temptation the past few days has been to quit. Quitting seems like the easiest way out of something that is hard. It is also much easier than being honest about one's shortcomings. I tell myself that no one wants to read a blog about missed opportunities and struggles. I don't ever want to make excuses but the temptation to quit instead of writing another blog post about "how I will do better next time" was intense. Yet, I cannot be a quitter. I have too much at stake. Although I love having my friends and family follow along on my journey, this blog needs to be about me being real with myself first and foremost. While I would like each post to detail incredible success each and every time, that is not going to be realist. I will struggle. But I know that every step forward is progress and moves me that much closer to my goals. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. Here is my accompanying YouTube video for this post linked below.<br />

<br />
On the debt side of things, I am pleased with my progress. I was able to pay down the balance on card #1 by more than a hundred dollars. That is not bad considering that I post these blog updates every five days. I do not believe I will be able to pay off card #1 by the next blog post however so I will not share details about card #2 just yet. That information will very likely be included next time. Here are the detailed numbers.<br /><br /> Card #1: Starting balance as of 3/15 = $237.57<br />
Card #1: Balance as of 3/20: $107.54<br />
Debt paid since prior post: $130.03<br />
Total debt paid: $130.03<br /><br /> The weight loss numbers were not what I had hoped. For the March 20th weigh in, I lost a little more than a half pound (0.6). My current weight is 359.4 pounds. My total weight loss is a little more than a half pound (0.6)<br />
<br />
I should have lost much more weight than this. The last few days I did not follow my plan well at all. I need to start walking as well. Losing weight at a decent pace is much easier when you burn the candle at both ends so to speak. Managing the calories consumed and the calories burned is important.<br /><br />
I wrote in my last blog post that I would let my actions speak for themselves and they have. My actions did not warrant much weight loss and that is the reality that I am living. I guess that I can only hope that those who read my blog don't quit on me. I will get where I am going, but I cannot promise there will not be hills and valleys. Maybe that is what makes a journey interesting. Thanks for following along.
