OK, if I had weighed this much in college, I'd have played in the NFL. Been effin around with various spurts of diets that suck ditch water and nothing positive.
So recently, I decided to get serious (my doctor is also a long time friend so you can be I've been catching hell from him....yea, Rick), but at 6'3", 265 was too much at age 67 as far as I am concerned. Having half a left leg and a compromised left shoulder rotator cuff after falling some 30 feet after that nice lady in the SUBV left-turned me slowed the exercise program and the weight sort of crept up on me....beer didn't help.....lots of beer....often.
so about a 10 days or so ago I got into a discussion with self and cut back on the calories, stopped the drinking (sot of) in excess (is there any other way?) and kicked it up a notch on the exercise schedule...lots of walking and treadmill. Still a bit leery of the weights because of the shoulder.
So far, starting at 265, was 258 today after roughly 10 days (backslid a bit tonight with a few shots of Single Malt), but the goal is still going to be 240 for this evolution and ultimately, 220. Been there before the wreck, and decided that that B!T(# didn't kill me so eff her, and I'm coming back.
You guys aren't noted for cutting slack, so here's your chance to change from Altimas to calories one me. I have the utmost respect for all of you so my pledge is to giterdone. Hold me to it.
