01/27/2015 - Day 1

I am restarting my Tumblr blog after a period of silence, because I want to finish what I started. This time, I will not be doing an extreme fad diet, nor will I be doing any sort of weight loss challenge. I just want to record and share my thoughts and what I do over the course of the upcoming days, months, years, on how I will defeat my own obesity and live a healthy life. 

  I promised myself that 2015 will be a different year . . . that this year will not be like the previous ones . . . that this year I will finally be able to look myself in the mirror and see someone who is healthy and no longer overweight. I also gave myself an ultimatum that this year will be the year that I finally propose to my long-time girlfriend of more than 4 years. 

  Fast forward to today, January 27.  1 of 12 months is already almost over, and I have nothing much to show for it.  Sure, I went to the gym and worked out and lifted weights, but I am now showing any results.  

  Something has got to change.  At this rate, it will be December 2015, and I will again be telling myself that 2016 will be a different year.  Another year of self-transformation. 

  My problem has been that I am always trying for the quick fixes, for something that will help me lose weight the fastest.  In this new blog, I want to focus on smaller, slower changes, and make something that is more sustainable. 

  Let's break-up my posts into three sections. 

  Section 1 - General updates on how I am feeling and misc. thoughts. 

Section 2 - My Diet

Section 3 - My Exercise

  Another change from last time, will be that I will be sharing my weight every Friday morning, instead of daily.  This way I won't get caught up on the daily fluctuations, and instead keep focused on sticking to my diet and workout plans. 

  --------------------------------------------------

The Diet

For the time being I want to try sticking to a more sustainable low-carb diet centered on having more WATER, vegetables, and low-glycemic fruits (e.g., apples, pears).  For protein, I will rely on Whey Protein, eggs, dairy (e.g., cottage cheese, Greek yogurt), and lean meats (e.g., chicken, fish, lean pork).  Even with protein, I will rely on most of my protein intake to be from my whey supplement.  While doing this, I will try my best to keep it as low-carb as possible, allowing for oatmeal in the mornings.  

The Exercise

  This time around, I actually joined a gym near my home, and I have been pretty good at going 4-5 days a week.  The last week, I was mostly moving to my new home, so I only went 1 day. I will focus on split training workouts, focusing on certain muscle groups each day.  Before and after each workout, I have been power-walking & running 1 mile.  For the time being, I will continue to do this, with the intent to increase this distance in the future.

  I will post a workout routine soon with each day broken out by targeted muscle group and exercises.
