Ok, so I know what you are thinking this guy is going to talk about his secret valentine day wish and the show a 5 gallon jug of water, this dude has issues! However, did you know that a 5 gallon jug of water weighed about 38 pounds? Did you know as of 91 days ago, I had been carrying the equivalent of that around with me ever day, every where I went? Its true. I did. I tried to walk with that, ride with that, and swim that on me every day, everywhere I went for the last two years. It is a fact.
I know that as of today, I weigh less than I have in a long time. I lost two pounds last week. and that put me at 436.4, 1.4 pounds lighter than I was when Mom Carol came out and cooked for me for a month back in April of 2013.
I have been doing the paleo
thing for 90 days of today, and today is Valentine's day, and I wanted nothing more for this day than to be lighter than I was in April 2013, and I made that dream, goal, or wish whatever you will call it come true. By watching what I put into my body and moving as much as I could. Speaking of moving since last Wednesday I have banged out 8900 yard/meters swimming. I swam a 1200 Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. My body is tired from all the swimming and I ended up falling back asleep this morning and sleeping till 11. I feel so refreshed though and there might be a visit to the pool tonight.
there isa huge difference between February 14, 2015 and the April Mom Carol stayed with me and that is, that I am making this happen, on my own, and for myself. Mom was out here helping me try to get on the right path, but I wasn't ready. I didn't take any ownership of it. I let her do all the cooking, and I basically stayed out of the kitchen. Well now I don't have to hide from the kitchen. I have made so much progress in there from pancakes, to pizza
, to tortilla's to paleo pigs that are to die for. I have made cheese. I have made omelets, and I am making ice cream this weekend, that is right you heard me, banana ice cream anyone, yes, please I will have that. My life has changed so much in the last 90 days. I feel so much better. Don't get me wrong, I am still really scared about my heart, and constantly wondering if I am having a stroke or a heart attack. However, most of the time, I am keeping busy, and pushing the limits in the kitchen. I love it, and I firmly believe right now there isn't anything I can't do in there. I think each week I have to try something new. The one thing, I did this week that I would have never thought about doing, and not only did I do it, but I fucking nailed it was this.
I came home from work on Thursday, frustrated and angry. Things didn't go my way and I didn't get what I wanted for my hard work, oh well, it happens. So, what did I do, I crank out a pizza. a little bacon cheese burger number. I at half of it. Then, I got up and went to the pool and banged out 1200 yard/meters. I would have never thought I was capable of coming home, cooking, eating, then going to the pool working out and basically being awesome!!! However, I was.
I no longer freak out if I don't have everything ready for every meal, b/c I know that I have the tools to make something I enjoy when I get home. Pizza, fajitas, wings, whatever, I can do it.
So, the last 90 days have truly been life changing. I have lost a lot of weight, one 5 gallon jug worth. Don't get me wrong, there is still a ton to do. Another 5 five gallon jugs need to come off, and they will given time and effort and never giving up on myself, and knowing what I can do in the kitchen, with a diet that works
for me. I am a five gallon jug lighter! That is fucking Awesome!!!!
