NEW PR!

Today, I felt great. I went to the gym and performed various KB exercises with the 72 lb'er. It felt great, in fact, felt so great I just kept going and almost forgot the time. When I realized it was already 7 am, I was like, Shit, I still have to do cardio.

I ran over to the cardio room and decided to do 15 minutes all out and it would be what it would be. I went as fast as my knees would allow and ended up doing 1.57 miles in 15 minutes flat! That even counted the 2 minutes of slower, cool down. New PR and made my day!

Weight Watchers Plus Points

I started using a WW app on my droid last week. I am keeping track of my points and am doing cardio for 40 minutes, 3x a week. I weighed in on Sunday 10/23 and was down 7 pounds. So far, so good.

Why do i need to become Daddy Incredible?

The first time my son saw a trailer for The Incredibles, he said the father was "Daddy". He calls him Daddy Incredible. It's my wish to become that for him, to be his superhero. I will be.

The Beginning of The Loss

I have been dealing with my weight problem my entire life. I remember as a child, i was not able to enjoy summer activities because I felt uncomfortable with my shirt off. i have always loved swimming, but feel the need to cover up and therefore have missed out on many activities over the years.

I have a 3 year old son, Matthew. he means the world to me. This past summer , we attended fairs and carnivals and i was too fat to ride on some of the rides with him. This killed me a little inside. I have nightmares about it.

I dream of being able to run. Sounds crazy, huh? Well, my knees ache when I try. My heart wants to, but my body stops me.

I am done. I am losing 100 pounds and keeping it off. This is my journey....
