464
I weigh 464 pounds. I know, I know, that is a big number. I am actually okay with it, I weighed 476 last summer. I am not at my heaviest, which is a plus. I am still HUGE, but hey, I am working on that.
I had another awesome day. 2000 calories today, a little over the normal, but still manageable. I did manage to walk 9/10 of a mile today, and the I JOGGED 1/10th. OK, I know that doesn't sound major, but it is to me. I also played an hour and a half of softball with the guys at the Colony today. I hit balls to them while they fielded and threw around. It felt good to get out there, it was such a nice day.
I know it may seem boring to read the same ole' stuff over and over. I am going to try to spice things up with pics and stuff. My self esteem isn't the greatest right now, but as the weight comes off, I'll post some. So to change things up, I decided to share some goals for the year:
1. Lose 100 pounds by my birthday, May 21 (113 days away)
2. Lose 200 pounds by the end of the year (goal weight 260)
3. Run a mile
4. Buy clothes from a store that does not have the words "big" or "tall" in it.
5. Go to the fair and ride something
Okay, let me same something about that last one. You might know this, but you can't ride stuff being my size. I haven't been able to ride anything since I was about 20 years old (around 300 pounds). I remember the first time this really upset me. Pam and I went to the fair the first year we started dating. Pam LOVES the fair. We started off by walking through and looking at everything. Then, we got to the rides. When we went to get on one, the guy told me I was to big to ride it. At this point, I was probably 350 pounds, maybe 375. It was so humiliating. We went through the rest of the evening bummed out because I really couldn't do anything. I remember coming home and crying about that. I was so embarrased. I have hated the fair ever since. Pam always wants to go and I am constantly trying to talk her out of it. This year, I want to fix years of disappointment.
Anyway, so there's what's going on. Feel free to comment or share, see you guys later.
I am so SO proud of you Jeremy!! That must have been a hard moment at the fair for you! Well, I know that you have God's power behind you and that nothing can stop the weight from coming off when He is helping :) Just make sure you invite us to the fair with you, I would love to see that moment when you get to ride again! :) Keep up the good work, you truly are an inspiration!!
