One Man's Journey From Fat to Fit

  1. Slim is Simple, Really!

    It’s been over a month since I’ve last updated Visu­ally Fit, and last time, I was pissed off and burnt out with pretty much every­thing.  I was stag­nant in my weight loss, things at home were tough, and I just felt like I was in a pit.

    Fast for­ward about a month. I was still in a rut and needed to bounce back. One my bet­ter qual­i­ties is the abil­ity to pull myself up by the boot­straps, look at what­ever is caus­ing a road­block, and round’house kick it in the teeth. I think that’s called “ini­tia­tive” or “gump­tion” maybe.

  2. Pre-Christmas Update

    See, I told you I’d be back, though still not as soon as I’d hoped.

    I’ll bring you up to speed on how things are pro­gress­ing. FLIPPING FANTASTIC! That’s how.

    In about a week and a half, I’ve gone down a lit­tle over 10 lbs. Not bad, eh? I’ve been kick­ing butt at work­ing out (more on that later), drink­ing tons of water (instead of vir­tu­ally any­thing else), and eat­ing right (I’ll touch on that in a bit too). I’m still about 4 lbs shy from where I was when I started the Lean Eat­ing pro­gram, but at this pace, I’m bound to get below that. Far below that, I’m hoping.

  4. Saying Sayonara To The Scale (sort of)

    I step on the scale every day. Some­times twice or even three times a day. The scale has become my worst enemy on most days, while giv­ing me a glim­mer of hope on others.

    One day I will step on the scale and I will get a read out of 271 pounds, as if it were say­ing “Great job, kid! You’re really on the right track!” Then on the fol­low­ing day, the bas­tard will tell me that I am up to 276, which is almost always fol­lowed by a “What the hell?!” and a gen­eral poopy-pants mood.
