Fed up

Since my last post I have consumed more and, and more crap. I didn't cook one meal for myself and I reached a point, that I consider to be a minor point to turning my life around for good.

I was sitting watching TV and saw one of those TV adds that show how wholesome that particular food is. I remember thinking, "Yeah right, besides the advertised injected vitamins and "whole" grains. How much crap is in that stuff that isn't advertised." After thinking that I came to the realization that the way I was eating was just "wholesome". So, after getting a little angry with my hypocrisy, and after my wife asking, me if I was okay because I had a face that was similar to a face of constipation. I got fed up.

So, yesterday my wife and I went to the grocery store and loaded up with healthy foods. Beef (not free range but it works for now), eggs, frozen vegetables, fresh vegetables. When I got home I started portioning. I cut the beef into portioned servings, baby carrots divided up into five snack bags to have at work. Hard boiled eggs to eat for breakfast or as a snack. Having done all of this I felt a sense of accomplishment. Like I have done something good. I have started down this rough at first path and look forward to the results from here.

For diner I made

1 approx. 4oz steak

1/2 can of cut green beans

1/4 cup portabella cap

2 Full glasses of water

I am starting this blog to track everything that has to do with my goal waist size of 38. This includes but is not limited to, current weight, weight loss over a period of time, exercise routines, recipes, meals eaten day of post and of course marking the day that I can fit into a pair of size 38 pants without struggle or strain. I plan on following a diet that was recommended to me by family known as the Primal / Paleo diet. I like this diet because of how it for the most part cuts out the grains from your diet. Now I say as diet meaning life style. The reason I use life style is because I personally have discovered that the way you eat is part of your life style.

To begin I will record my current stats.

Weight: 360+

Shirt size: XXL

Pant waist size: 44

Current eating habits:

Crap. I eat a lot of crap. Frozen pizza, ice cream, pasta, pasta sauces rich in cream, butter galore Taco Bell, Rally's cheese steak, tons of bread... I think I will stop there, because as I type this I truly realize how bad of a situation I put myself in.

Current Exercise Routine:

None. My current exercise routine is not existent.

I will post a picture of myself in my current weight and another picture three months down the road.
