My Top Ten Weight Loss Rules!

10 Drink more water... I have found out that most of the time when I thought I was hungry I was really just thirsty.

9 Keep away from the scale... So many of us set ourselves up for failure by our daily disappointment by what we think we should be losing instead our body know what is healthy for us.

8 Keep active... I can't believe how many hours I have sat on my butt zoning out to TV,movies, video games. Start a hobby or sport you like doing that keeps you moving.

7 Start Resistance Training... What most people don't realize is the more muscle you have the more fat,carbohydrates, your body burns. You don't have to go to the gym to and rub elbows with muscle heads, you don't even need any equipment. Start a bodyweight workout right now!

6 Keep a journal... Many of us don't realize how much we eat and how little we workout. Start keeping track of your workout progress instead of looking at the scale everyday!

5 Get smaller plates and cups... It may seem silly but it works. You will dish less food if the plate is smaller.

4 Slow down while eat... This is a big struggle I am constantly learning. I eat in front of the TV which is a big no no, and I inhale my food. It takes about 20 to 25 minutes before my body even registers that I have eaten something.

3 Pool motivation from everywhere... I use tons of things around my to keep me on track ie people, books, the internet, and some tv shows.

2 Eat good calories and good carbohydrates... You must stop polluting your body with garbage. A general rule I have is if you can't pronounce it you shouldn't eat it. I eat mostly white meat and dark greens. I cut out bad carbohydrates like bread,rice, and potatoes.

AND THE NUMBER ONE...

1 Find out "WHY" you eat... Most of us don't like to admit it but we are emotional eaters. I have to battle my past "issues" and look at what causes me to want to put on more weight. This is and never will be easy for me but I must get a grips on the reason I over eat cause being over weight is like slowly committing suicide and it doesn't fix anything.

Look out forest here comes the Adams!

Beth and I have been slowing piecing together camping equipment for the summer season. We went for the first time last year and had a blast. I have fond memories of camping when I was a in a kid and I am looking forward to making new ones in the future. We picked up a Coleman 8 person tent that I can stand up in for 50 buck on costco.com last week. I can't wait to brush up on all my boy scout tricks this summer. If you want to go camping this summer let me know!

How do you spell relief?

To my dismay I have successfully brought back my ulcers... I smoked like a chimney, drank like a fish, and ate like a cow when I was in Vegas. Due to the constant hammering of my stomach lining I have been in some serious pain. I have put myself back on the medicine from the gods aka Prilosec and I think I might be taking it for the rest of my life. Talk about making me feel old. I hoped to have waited on taking pills till I was sixty! I guess you have to make sacrifices when you want to enjoy the finer things in life.

Superbowl+Poetry= Slam Poetry

What is Slam poetry you ask? Slam poetry is a postmodern performance poetry, a form of spoken word that is given scores based on content and performance. I fell in love with this form of poetry after seeing the movie Slam which the main character does an awesome job preforming some of my favorite pieces he has written. I remember gowning up going to school and dreading my English class every day because we where reading the classic poems. Now don't get me wrong I love all the classics but you don't start feeding a baby steak you give him or her milk. Not to say that slam poetry is the milk of poetry ,but I bet if they thought slam poetry in school it would awaken a generation of poets. So here are some of my favorite slam performances. I must warn you slam poetry is not polite, clean or nice.

298.5!

Well well this morning I stepped on the scale and I am finally under 300lbs. I thought I would be more excited, happy, and proud of myself but I am not and I don't know why. I guess should have been more in every moment of losing weight rather than looking toward the goal so when I got there it would be so bland. I mean don't get me wrong I love it that I am getting healthier and looking better...I guess I just wanted more emotion from myself when the time came. So from here on out I am going to rejoice about every pound of fat that I lose and be happy with every pound of muscle I put on. Look out 297 your about to get dropped...

Kids say the darndest things!
