6 Month Journey

Time for a “wordy” update that so many people hate.

I had a doctor appointment yesterday and it was the first appointment of a new “weight loss program” that I have to do.

Unlike the last one, it was actually beneficial because it was with my normal doctor and it was in person.

My mental health is at an all time high- the year of trying new hobbies, focusing on happiness and living my best “sHarkYGGE” life has made an incredible difference.

I am going overboard on a few things though- I’m spending WAY too much money and I’m in a 2 month weight loss plateau of only losing about 5 lbs in 2 months.

From March 16th to September 15th is exactly 6 months and that just happens to be my son’s 20th birthday so I’m starting a new 6 month journey to try to build on the habits I’ve already made.

Today I was at 317 lbs. so I’m 72 lbs. from my overall goal of losing 200 lbs.

I plan to use this notebook to track weight loss, daily hobbies, daily spending and just sum up each day so I have more control over what I’m doing.

By September 15th- I want to be around 245-250 lbs. and have all of our major bills paid off- like the $5,000 basement fix that hit us, our recent vacation, new dryer and all the other stuff that we didn’t expect.

If I can build on the habits I’ve already created, then I can get some of this under more control, hit my goals and be in an amazing spot 6 months from now. I’ve already established so many great habits over the last year and I’m proud of how far I’ve come but I’ve slacked and it’s time to tighten up the belt.

(get it…because Sunday was New Hole Day- I’m so clever and handsome, it’s honestly scary).

Life is short.
Do what you enjoy.

New Hole Day

It’s that time again, New Hole Day!!!

When I bought this belt, I was 445 lbs and it was the biggest we could find. The RED line is the original last hole. The BLUE line was the hole I created so it would fit. The GREEN line is the hole I had to make today because my pants were literally falling down. I’m at 317 lbs.

Also- I saw A LOT of people yesterday and if you don’t know me, I’m very socially awkward. I was an only child in a single parent household. Mom was always working or at bingo so I spent 90% of my time alone. I didn’t mean to be rude- I just don’t talk much.

Anyways…enjoy New Hole Day- however you celebrate.

Weight Loss History

I guess this is another start so I’ll make it short and sweet.

My highest official weight was 445 lbs.

I’ve been obese literally since I was in middle school; I tried to lose weight but my football coach literally yelled at me because I was a linebacker and the bigger your are, the harder you are to get through.

I tried losing weight through my 20s with Stackers and Ephedra and had success but gained it all back.

I tried losing weight through my 30s with a few other types of medicines and even tried eating better and exercise- I had success but gained it all back because I gave up.

I’ve tried losing weight through my 40s with keto and Wegovy. Keto helped me lose 140 lbs.- which I gained back and Wegovy only caused problems.

Here I am- 46 years old and still trying…I haven’t fully quit trying for 3 decades- why start now.

The goal is always about the same- watch my MACROS, low carb- high protein and exercise.

I’ve deleted all of my previous weight loss posts because that was the past and this is a new beginning…again.

I’m not into the “healthy at any size” BS and I’m going to write 100% honest about the weight loss journey- which I’ve always done.

Love, Peace and Sharkyness
