Day 2

Walked 45 min on treadmill I did hit 10K in steps.

Food wise I was good. The biggest source of carbs for me seems to be from Cliff Protein bars. (yes I know that isn't the best for me but it's better than a lot of my choices).

So no overt cheating and no soda.

Day One Part 2

I went to the gym and upper body lifted. I also walked 2 miles on the treadmill.

Food I had eggs and sausage then for dinner a spaghetti squash meal as well and snacked on beef jerky and cashews.

9047 steps on the day

Day One Part one

Today is the beginning of the rest of my life. I'll update on a static page where I am right now (as I write day one).

The goal to lose ~100 lbs or to 18% body fat.

How I plan to do it:
Food:  No grains / no dairy / no processed foods and as little added sugar as possible.

Exercise: Build to 1 hour of cardio. Strength training 4 times a week 2 days upper body 2 days lower body.

It may seem really simple and it kind of is. Eating only whole foods with healthy fats, fruits and nuts isn't as easy as it sounds however it does work.

Eating is the most important way to control weight and lose fat. Exercise helps it happen faster and dramatically changes the way you look more.

Since I'm the only one reading this shit I'm gonna update a lot with a lot of little shit.

7 Days 4 Times

The new thing in health and fitness is 30 day challenges.  I have seen 30 paleo challenge, 30 No alcohol challenge, 30 Day yoga challenge just to name a few. I like the idea of the 30 day challenge however its not really 30 days you have to think about... its one week. Why? Because very few of us go grocery shopping for 30 days.  So my goal is to have a 7 day challenge 4 times.

I usually shop at least once a week, I buy foods that store well or are frozen once a week and I get produce and fruits that last about 3 days. (The truth be told the other reason is that if I do not eat it all not as much goes bad).

So that is the idea behind this blog.

Don't get me wrong I am the classic Yo-Yo Dieter. I have lost 80+ pounds 3 different times. WTF. Now I get to do it a 4th. You can check out my story on the other tab I don't want to waste time here.
