My journey from fat to fit! |
|
I’ve been trying to lose fat and get fit for a long time. This will be my blog about my fitness journey! When a lot of people go from extremely fat to healthy and fit, they usually leave a lot out of their story. For instance, in online articles someone might have one paragraph describing when they were 300 pounds and sneaking fast food on their way home before eating a regular dinner with their family, then in the next paragraph they’re out running 5K’s and 10K’s. I want to show the fitness journey from beginning to end, with a lot of details and the philosophical outlook I’ve come up with on my own to guide me on my fitness journey. Hopefully, my experience can help others. |
| Last week I went shopping with Eagle, he is the older brother of my brother in law. After going to two stores and getting groceries, we went to a restaurant where he bought me a sandwich. We ate in the car, and I inadvertently dropped half of my sandwich on the floor board. Eagle commented on how I struggled to reach down and grab it because of my immense belly. Looking back, I can see that I need to lose a lot of weight, at least a hundred pounds. I weighed in the high 280s in early March of this year, and I went up to 300 in mid April. This morning, I was 294.8 pounds, so I’m making progress in the right direction. I’ve been lifting weights, mainly training biceps one day and shoulders the next. I forgot to mention that I ordered six 2.5 pound plates for my dumbbells, so I can train shoulders with 23.6 pounds on each side. I’ve also made personal records with biceps, curling 35 and 40 pounds on each dumbbell. |
