Getting Fit and Sober - A Fat Alcoholic's Journey

90+ minutes and 1,000+ calories burnt during the first 6 innings of a disappointing Cardinals loss.

Tonight was a pretty standard shift: approx. 29,000 steps and 6+ miles. This is why P90X and workday gym trips aren’t happening. Womp womp.

Chest and Back, then AbRipperX. Ugh.

I need to do more of this and less WiiFit. The Cards could really help by playing well. I know that seems dumb, but my problem with cardio has always been boredom, and I’ve lost enough weight that being shaped like a bowling ball isn’t a motivator anymore.

I need to be accountable to myself, and to you guys.

Update: 1,200+ calories burned tonight. Not too bad.

By December 2nd, the day before my 31st birthday, I will weigh 227 pounds (or less). That’s a weight loss of 100 pounds (or more). That will also be the day I complete my first circuit of P90X. Tough, but exciting, times ahead.

@ my gym

Gym trip number two, with more baseball to watch. I’m very sweaty.

I did 8 sets tonight of 10 curls, 8 overhead presses, and 12 shoulder crunches with these bad boys. Without breaks between the movements, I was surprised to find the weight was right for each workout. I’m about to go to bed, but I feel great right now, like a million bucks, and I’m looking forward to a repeat performance tomorrow if I am not too taxed after my softball game.

Note: Those say 40 lbs, in case you can’t read them. I wasn’t sure I had it in me.

11 sets tonight.

It is nice to feel like you look good with your shirt off.
