OK, so some of you know that I used to be a total fat slob… I felt like crap and got out of breath tying my shoes! What a wreck… While I am 6’1”, on January 1st of 2005 I weighed in at 245lbs! And knowing that I am not exactly “big boned” that means I was really, really fat!
Again, many of you know that I decided to do something and made it my 2005 New Year’s Resolution to become a vegetarian (and no Ryan, I’m not a Vegan… I am technically a lacto-ova, meaning I do consume eggs and dairy in small portions). Also, not that I was a heavy drinker or anything, but I also elected to give up the consumption of alcohol completely and do whatever else I could to get healthy. A month later in February I also gave up soda.
I started loosing weight almost immediately as I was eating almost nothing but salad for the two weeks or so, because like a lot of other “well thought out” plans, I didn’t really know much about vegetarianism. Anyway, I have disciplined myself in this life change and also got back to the gym in September, although now that I am employed at Kroger as a professional lifter and lugger, I haven’t had time for the gym, but I am still getting a daily workout.
That said, would you please join me in celebrating and maybe a comment to commorate the loss of 50lbs since January! That’s right, I am down to 195lbs, I’ve lost 4” off my waistline and I am feeling great! So pass the Boca Burgers, BBQ Tofu, steamed veggies and the salad!
“Lighter”-
