Over the last couple of months, I’ve really been conscious of my weight. My clothes aren’t fitting like they should, I’m not liking my self in any pictures, I can visibly see the fat in my face…I’m not just fat, I FEEL Obese. Time to get back on my program. Yesterday, I had a talk with my mentor Kevin Black and we discussed exercise. He’s been where I am, so I respect his opinion. He’s evolved into a fitness nut over the last two years, after losing over 200lbs. He motivated me to get back on my exercise grind. Kevin has one thing that I lack when it comes to exercise; Discipline. I’ve got to start somewhere, So, today, I got up this morning, and hit the treadmill. I walked for 25 mins and cleared my mind. During that time, I realized a couple of things. First, My body remembers how to be an athlete. My breathing pattern fell right back into training mode and it wasn’t as hard as I thought. Second, my chronic allergies disappeared. I could breathe! No irritating ear, nose and throat itching! That feeling alone was worth the burn I was feeling in my legs. Third, my knees aren’t as bad off as I thought they were. Ever since I went down on my bike, my knees haven’t been the same, and I’ve been scared to really do any working out. I realize I have to take it easy, but I now know that they can’t be an excuse.

So, here’s to starting from scratch, and building a body I can be proud of again. I don’t want to be skinny, just healthy. I always seem to go through this at the beginning of the winter, but by New Years, I’ve lost the discipline and motivation because I don’t see results as quickly as I would like to. But, like My says, I didn’t get this big in 3 months or even a year, so I should realize that I won’t lose it that quickly. But thanks to shows like the Biggest Loser, I’m looking for quick results. I’ll be chronicling my progress, as an inspiration to myself and others. Let me know your thoughts and your struggles. Off to breakfast…

P.S. My motivation seems to be those who’re telling me what I can not be.

“Woke up out the bed, turned my swag oonnnnnn…”

Thanks to a bath last night, I feel better. I had a bowl of cereal with raisins. After breakfast, My and I headed to the secret park for our daily cardio workout. She’s in better shape than I am, and has legs that a starlet would kill for. As a result, Scott is a bit harder on her. He knows she can take it. She was a bit sore from the workout, but you couldn’t tell. She had me moving through that park much faster than I would have walked on my own. I’m definitely motivated by her presence. Together, we can accomplish anything. So, I grabbed a couple of bottles of water and walked using the bottles as light weights. On the Biggest Loser, I noticed that they always had something in their hands on the treadmill. Any little bit to burn more calories helps. My and I crack each other up on our walks. We talk about everything from business goals to comedy sketches.

After about 30 mins, we finished up and headed back to the lab to start the day. I’ve got a lot to get done today, so I will come back and update later. Now, it’s time for a snack.

Keeping it movin,

We stay Fly

My and I have been working out over the past few months. Nothing major, just walking at the park and light cardio. I haven’t been able to go hard, as my back has been hurting. Anyway, we thought it was time to step our game up a bit. My personal goal is to lose 30 lbs by my birthday. Impossible is nothing.

Meet our trainer, Scott. He’s responsible for David Banner’s weight loss and is currently working with D’Angelo. He is the TRUTH.

Today, we got with Scott and began our new regimen. Luckily, our light workouts helped us and we weren’t as winded as we were the last time we started with him. This time, we definitely felt it, but were able to make it through. He showed me some stretches to relieve the tension on my back. Hopefully, it will feel a bit better as we go on. Our homework is eating better and cardio on the days we don’t meet with him. We gave him our meal plan, and he said he would make some notes. I know that food will be what makes or breaks us. It’s really easy to go off your plan when you don’t have your meals together.

My goal is to be this person again…I saw this pic on my Soror’s page and it really brought let’s you see the weight gain over the years. It’s funny, but as you live life, your mind’s eye changes. I’ve been conscious of my weight, but over the course of my depression last year, it really got the better of me. Thanks to some therapy, I’m now in a better mind state, and able to tackle my goal.

Sophmore year…
