I really let myself celebrate Thanksgiving as I gave no thought to how many calories I was eating at each meal. My mom made my favorite cherry cheese pie and over a 3 day period I have nearly eaten the whole thing. But that is ok as this Monday the next chapter begins toward my healthier smaller self. I posted my latest video log and I started out in the shower! Yeah, not sure what I was thinking there but I just wanted to do something way out there.
I think this will be the 590th time I started an adventure toward weight loss and working toward not being embarrassed wearing T Shirts in the summer. What is so different about this time around? Not sure other than I can see the symptoms of being overweight, as far as my health goes.
Fatigue
I am always tired, I mean very tired around 3 pm at work and I know it is because I eat too much junk food and get no exercise.
Stamina
Yeah, I have none. Walking up one flight of stairs at work and I am already hurting and beginning to breath hard. How do I expect to do any kind of physical activity with my soon to be born grandchild?
Snoring
I am a big snorer (just ask my wife) and it drives her crazy. I have read that one of the major causes of snoring is being overweight. Perhaps part of the reason I get so tired easily is because the snoring is so bad that it cause me not to get the restful sleep I need. I have noticed that I toss and turn a lot at night and I know my weight has a lot to do with it.
So maybe I didn’t eat the whole turkey but I did eat a lot and this over indulging will come to a stop by the end of the week. The new road to my new life is up ahead.
