Oh, Hi...

Alright, so I haven't been around in a while. I haven't been doing too badly, but I haven't been doing great (weight wise) either. I resigned from my job, started working at a gas station, and then resigned from that job after being offered a position as a LAN and Hardware Support Tech for a school district in Seaside. All the movement really killed my body clock. I worked 8-5 at first, then worked random hours including 10-6am graveyard shifts and 2-10pm day shifts, and now will have to go back to 8-5 shifts not including the drive to and from Seaside. All in all, there wasn't much room for scheduling in exercise, and the crazy hours lent my wallet to various fast food places for a quick meal more often than not.

So let's check the damage, looking at my blog, it looks like my last posting had me at 321lbs. Luckily, I'm doing quite well for myself after all the setbacks, weighing in at 316lbs. I have been hitting the gym a bit, which is helping me bring in some more muscle to burn off more fat. I'm not where I want to be, but I'm working on it more now. Working a steady schedule should help me keep to my workouts, and a new way of eating should keep me losing.

I'll be keeping up my cardio at Elite Fitness, especially now that my buddy Saul (@AlmostCool on Twitter) helped me out by recommending some great new insoles for my shoes that should help me feel better on the treadmill and bikes. My bro Stephan (@BigSteph_831 on Twitter) is also going to get me a trial at the YMCA to try out their equipment. I also picked up some new weight lifting and boxing gloves so I can make more use of my punching bag at home, which is great cardio if you've ever used one. (If not, try it! It's super fun!)

I've also invested in buying more healthy foods. Fruits, vegetables, salads, low calorie dressings, protein and flaxseeds, etc. I've even learned a great new morning meal shake idea from Saul (@AlmostCool on Twitter) that tastes awesome, fills me up, and lets me make use of the Protein and Flaxseeds along with some great tasting fruits. This should come in handy when I start working in Seaside sometime next week. :)

Until next time!
