Question for the Day...

Okay, has anyone heard of HCG or actually has anyone had any first hand experience with it...?

Get Ready, Get Set, Let's Go

As I get geared up and motivated to finally make a permanant change I have to pass on this article.  I have followed Tom Venuto for quite some time and gotten a lot of information from him that has been very helpful.  He usually is pretty "spot on" when it comes to diet and nutrition...  351 Today and headed to the GYM today for the first time in 3 months, LETS GET READY TO RUUUUUUUUMBLE...

Enjoy the article and keep FIGHTING THE FAT...

Sloppy Mess

I am a sloppy mess right now, I can't get my simple little mind to wrap itself around becoming healthy...  I am giving myself to the end of this month to get ready and get it together.  To actually GROW UP mentally and take this VERY seriously.  Doc did give me a second blood pressure pill earlier this week, how many kicks in the ass do I need from him. 

350 pounds this morning!!!!!  UGH, FRUSTRATION, DEPRESSION, PAIN, AGONY....  Maybe I need FAT guy counseling...  Dunno but I better get it figured out pretty soon this UP AND DOWN BULLSHIT is hard on my mental capacity. 

285 would be Graduation weight and my 25 Year Reunion is 7 Months away, that would be 65LBS.  ?????  I dunno, I am tired of putting down weight goals only to come CLOSE than end up short...

No Excuses, I am LAZY... 

Not Currently FIGHTING THE FAT....

Back in the SADDLE of the NEVER ending battle.

Sorry I haven't made any entries into this blog lately. Denial is easy and if you don't talk about it it will go away right.... RIIIIIIIGGGGGGGHHHHHHHTTTTTT.

Its a never ending battle and once I get my frail little mind wrapped around that I will have more success.

Well the family workout plan in August didn't do it for me, my motivation lacked and so did the rest of the families. I really kind of slacked in September so far too.

We'll with the new season of the Biggest Loser I am back at it. Last week was the season premier and it was awesome. Anyhow I am weighing in on Wednesday mornings after the show and last week I was at 347.8 so SLACKING I HAVE DONE PLENTY of as of late. Back to the moderation of my diet this week and back to working out more often. We'll see what we can do, I obviously don't anticipate keeping up with some of these folks cause they obviously are working out 4/5 hours a day and are supervised 24 hours a day but I DO want to do better than at least one or two of them every week. You know what, if I could afford to take off work and make it onto that show I would be a MACHINE. Anyhow.... Now you know where I am and where I am headed. We'll see what tomorrow mornings weigh in brings - I anticipate good things...

By the WAY, I am 42 today, feeling physically 62 and mentanlly 22, so I guess there is some good and some bad... :-)

TEAMwork is a BIG PLUS

Just to start with this blog is linked with my FACEBOOK account so any updates on here are automatically added as notes on my FACEBOOK, now on with my blogging...

I haven't blogged lately so I'll bring you up to date a bit.

AUGUST is designated CLEMENTS family get in shape kick off month. I found myself at 339.2 on the 3rd of August, slipping back toward beyond obese. August 3rd was our kickoff and I want to tell you that when your family is involved it makes the process SO much better. Valerie found herself where she was on August 3rd. Funny huh, well call that XX out of respect for her.

SO with that being said Valerie is XX minus 6lbs this week and I am 335.6. She lost an AMAZING 6lbs and I sure didn't do my share but none the less did pull out 3.6lbs. I WILL pull more of my share this week. (9.6lbs this week for TEAM CLEMENTS - YAY)

Alyssa, we arn't weighing because we dont want to become "THOSE" parents who obsess about their childrens weight. There are pros and cons to that but we are working with her on making better choices and working out and exercising.

Anyhow, thats what's going on in a nutshell, wish us success and we'll keep.....

Today is the DAY....

Today is the day to get back on track. At the gym this morning at 5:30 and out onto the bike trails tonight at 6:30. Weighed in at a SVELT 331.6 this morning. I am giving myself an intervention, its time, focus, attention and hard work. I can't let myself get down about this to the point of doing NOTHING. For the last two weeks I haven't rode the bike or done really anything specific to being healthy. Time to start.... The family is involved this time so more to come on that.... Look out 299, here I come....

Dont want to talk about it...

My scale said 327 on Monday so I am getting some new batteries for it. There's no way in hell I gained 8 pounds last week. It's discouraging, maybe I'll go to a monthly weigh in.

SLOW PROGRESS

You know all this riding of bikes make me hungry? I gotta figure out an alternative to filling my face when I get done but also need to have the fuel to burn while riding. MAYBE, I need to go back to the FITDAY tracker and start tracking my calories again, I ALWAYS am most successful when I am doing that. Gotta breat through this point, just gotta.

Low Point for the YEAR

-3.2 pounds this last week. It feels good to be at my low point for the year, lets see what we can do to bust through this "area" where I've spent a LOT of my adult life. Another 60 plus miles on the bike should help.

Down ONE more

I made a one pound loss last week. It is what it is, I also went over 200 miles biked and its definately gotten a lot easier. I am a biking machine now, well okay maybe not a machine but the miles are much easier to get in now. My lower body is developing and getting much stronger so I guarantee I have lost body fat even if the scale hasn't shown it of late. Muscle does weigh more than fat I there is no doubt I have put on a few pounds of muscle since I started riding consistently. That will increase my body's fat burning and help the process.

I WILL continue to fight the fight, I am resigned to baby steps and know I am pushing through a SET POINT that was where I was at for a LONG period of my life. I think my body likes the 320 Brad, well I DONT so its a matter of the FAT guy winning or not winning.

Can't rest on past accomplishments...
