Working out at work


Well I am at work. Before I left home I looked through a video collection and found Billy Blanks Tae Bo Cardio DVD. I just want to say that he is a sick man. No not really. I got through his whole video, but it was not easy at all. I need to work on my balance. I was dripping wet after his video. I am looking for more videos to use at work. This is one that I will keep doing. Hopefully I do not fall over.

Weigh in

Well as promised, I told everyone today was weigh in for me. I weighed in at 403.8 lbs which gave me a 1.2 lbs loss for the week (see flowing chart below). I am happy, wished it could of been more, but at least it was not a gain. I did some not so good things in this last week. I missed 3 days of workout at work because equipment went bad and weather was bad so I couldn't go out side. These are only excuse because I know I could of found something to do. One fix I came up with was I searched our video collection at home found Billy Blanks Tae Bo DVD. Now when I tell myself I do not know what to do I will pull out this DVD and do it. Another bad thing I did in this last week was I ate my mothers cooking. I love moms cooking, a boy and his mother. She made feather bone ribs, Mmmmm they were good. I paid for them and the green bean casserole and texas toast. Well I am not going to dwell on this but move forward and look for better success. I told my wife tonight that next week I will be out of the 400's and will never look back. I am going to work very hard to do this.

On another note my wife and I have been going through a tough time. We want a baby so bad. We have been trying over a year now. They tested her and she was fine, they tested me and I am not fine. I have low sperm count and like NASCAR drivers they only go in circles. This has been really hard on Amanda everytime we turn around someone is announcing a pregnancy. It makes feel like crap. I had to stop typing for a moment because of my stupid tears. We would be great parents, I love children. I do not know what caused me to have these problems but here are a few ideas. First when I was born I was born with spina bifida which can contribute to my current issue. It did cause me some kidney and bladder problems that I have mostly grown out of. I am also 200+ over weight I'm not scared to say it Morbid obesity. Another possibilty is with blood test done after showed that I have to little or none at all of some hormone in the brain that tells the body to make good sperm. So the course of action is this. I am continuing trying to loose the weight. I need to see a urologist to get a prescription for Clomid, yes men take this too just lower doses and spread out, it should help me with the hormone in my brain. We will see what this will do for me. If you would please say a prayer for us, I do believe that works. Thanks for reading. Good Night!

This is me, I look bad

The address for my blog says a lot for me. I feel as though I am in a fire fight for my life. I have weighed as much as 436 pounds. This is not something I am proud of. I Joined Weight Watchers once and got down to 380 but then life happened and I put the weight back on. I returned to Weight Watchers a second time and this is how its been going:
Week 1 initial weigh in 422 lbs
Week 2 weight: 416.4 lbs down 5.6
Week 3 Weight: 416.2 lbs down 5.8
Week 4 Weight: 410 lbs down 12
Week 5 Weight: 405 lbs down 17

The pictures above show you where I am starting at. I am a very big fireman. My wedding picture, I love my wife dearly she has almost hit her lifetime weight. I want to hold a new ceremony when I get to 250 pound, Iwould tell her that she would be marrying a new man. I currently wear 58-60 for pants. I cant wait till I can shop at WalMart instead of big and tall stores. I have been working out hard. We joined Anytime Fitness which is great because I work out every day for the 4 days I am in town. Currently I work 72 hours that's 3 days straight as a rural hospital as a Paramedic Specialist. The work out equipment there is starting to fall apart I will have to find a new way to work out when at work. Well weigh in is at 5pm, can't wait to post my next weight.
