Since my wife passed away, I've not been taking care of myself as well as I should have been. I started eating crap foods again, I stopped exercising as much, and I started smoking again. There; it's all laid out on the table now.
I've known for a long time that I couldn't let myself go for long like this, or I would find myself right back in the same situation I was in last October. I refuse to go back to that size and be an absolutely miserable human being. It's the last thing I need.
A couple of weeks ago, the idea hit me that I needed to go "hardcore" back into my diet and exercise routine for at least a month and get myself back on track. Low and behold, Mark Sisson just happened to start up his yearly Primal Blueprint Health Challenge on August the 4th. I may be a little late to the party, but it's never to late to get yourself healthy.
Starting today, September the 1st of 2011, I am going on the Primal Blueprint 30 Day Challenge. I'm going to Grock out with my socks out. I'll be following the exercise routine he provides and the diet as well. No breads, no pastas, no sugars, no refined, processed, "just like" foods.
Just like with the No Sweets? No Sweat! Challenge, I'll be posting here regularly with updates about my progress. I hope that anybody who still reads my blog will jump in with me. If not, why not just commit to doing something healthier than your used to for the next 30 days? It can be anything from eating healthier foods, adding (more) exercise to you daily life, or cutting out something that is unhealthy for you.
I'll start with what I've got for the day:
Current Weight: 346 lbs
Let's get this started!
GO ANDY!
