The Bigger They Are... Oh Shut the Fuck Up!!!

Well… I have gained back the 9 lbs that I lost.  I am almost 200 lbs now; this is the heaviest i have ever been. 

It’s my own fault… I haven’t jogged in about 3 weeks and I have been eating so much of all the wrong things.  One would say that my addictive nature has moved over to food.  These days, I find myself finishing a meal and not being satisfied.  It’s as if my brain doesn’t register the fact the my stomach is full; I want more and more.

What to do? 

I can’t afford a gym membership right now but I do have the park a few black away - I need to start jogging again while the weather permits it.  My goal 

I want to look like this again… (the above picture)

I was about 165 lbs in that picture 5 years ago which is ideal for someone at my current age and height.  My goal though is 155 lbs, but for now I just need to get off my ass and start jogging. 

Because I have an addict’s mind… I have the tendency to think of unhealthy quick fix ways of losing the weight.  These thoughts of using crystal meth to solve this “weight-loss” challenge are weighing on my mind daily.  I know it’s not the route I want or need to take. 

I turn 39 next month… I wish to be at my goal weight by the time I am 40 in 2012.  That sounds doable.

Step by Step

I went jogging today.  Actually, it was more of a jog, then walk for a bit, then jog, then walk a bit more.  35 mins.  I am proud of myself.

After the way I felt yesterday, I needed to do this. This is one more step taken to a healthier me.  The first step was getting clean and sober.  I am grateful for that. 

The gardens in Fort Tryon Park are a amazing with great views of New Jersey across the Hudson.  I’ll have to snap a few photos and post them someday.  

Anyway… Just stepping out today for a jog has helped me deal with whatever i was feeling yesterday.  I certainly need to get out more and luxuriate in the senses.  There is a whole world out there.  Even it’s just to stop and smell the flowers or watch a cloud passing by, I need to be part of it.
