Jon's Journey (not as good as Joe Hells)

Tex_77 We have to keep bringing up the Totino’s?

So, I got to this party a little late. It happens when work rules your life (what life) and you’re overweight… I’m in. Starting today no prepared crap for me. I’m 252 looking to get down to, and I know this is ambitious, 175. I was 179 at 18 when I left for Basic Training. The only things that have changed are my weight and my age. I’ve eaten a lot of processed foods over the last almost 40 years, much of it stemming from bad choices in food when I was a cop. It’s multiplied since then. But a loss of ~77 lbs has to be better than where I’m at now. I support anyone jumping on this train. Lets get healthier together.

Jonesy Always going to be challenges, have to take your wins and your losses and move on. This Saturday we did about 10 hours of yard work (I know that sounds like a lot but I love working in the yard) and then was too tired to make anything so we ordered a pizza. I didn’t beat myself up about it, just recognized it as a bad decision but something that is going to happen and moved on. I will “check in” with #s tomorrow.
Luckily Saturday was nice because it has been raining in Wichita for basically 2 weeks, the sun came out for 1 day and then back to gray all the time, looks like New York in the winter just without the snow!

So, if anyone somehow happened to not see it you need to check this post from Joe Hell Big goals deserve big rewards and you will know exactly what can be accomplished with a good diet and a healthy dose of will. Well, I have fallen off badly from being in the best shape of my adult life a few years back and I want that back. I feel like I have fallen off in energy levels and in mental clarity.
So, my plan is this, I am going to commit to eating NOTHING but what I have made myself. This means I can have anything I want that I have cooked myself and 0 prepared foods. So, steak, chicken, salad, veggies obviously are all good. Packaged sushi. pizza (this’ll hurt) and anything that has already been cooked or preseasoned at the store is out.
I’ll try to a check-in every Tuesday on this post, whenever I reach my goal weight I will do some sort of fun/funny thing to celebrate, thinking of sky-diving!
Current weight (with clothes on): 201 (I knew it was going to be not good but yikes)
Goal weight: 175 -
I think it is alright to go outside your diet occasionally, as long as you recognize your goals and get back on it. Weekends are always worse for me, doing things and then too tired to cook. I try to have some premade meat cooked up and vacuum sealed and can easily put it in a pot of boiling water while showering. Quick meal and stays in my diet.

So I hope you guys don’t mind if I join the party. I started to watch what I eat 2 weeks ago. I am hoping that with the group supporting each other we all will win. I’m down 7 so far…a long ways to go. Joe Hell I did like reading your blog, kinda inspired me.

Jonesy thats a great attitude to have. someone once told me tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life
KETO BREAKFAST

So, not a good couple of weeks, for those who didn’t see the pic of my wife’s cake she baked an amazing cookie butter and buttercream frosting cakes, absolutely delicious. I was also out of town for a few days with limited working out options and around people drinking. Still, not terrible results and I will be back at it. We have nothing coming up, Brutus is going to require that I do nothing but work and take care of hm for a few weeks so I will use that time to rededicate myself!
Weight 195 lb. So, put some back on but not as bad as where I started out. Not going to beat myself up about it, I just have to get back to it ASAP!Get more help with your processing questions and learn more about processing meat by subscribing to our waltonsinc.com youtube page at https://wltns.link/waltonstv I am a Gorilla, love yourself

The goal is keep working at it and remember your goal is not going to happen overnight.

lkrfletcher not sure why just my tagged name popped up or what it means when Jon pinned it? I don’t think I would do the “strict” keto. Seems to unhealthy to me basically starving yourself with no more than 20 carbs per day, egg fasting, and 24 hour fasting with no food among other restrictions. I did what they call dirty keto and it worked wonderfully besides the excess tarter build up from the high protein.

twilliams What did I pin? If i did that, it was in error but I think it’s the gremlins behind the system! Good job lkrfletcher 6 lb in 8 days is good! Yeah twilliams I did a dirtry keto too, I like carrots to much to go totally keto.

I just didn’t know what it meant when a pin happens?

Ah yes, I pinned the topic to the top of the waltons blog sections, sorry, I thought you meant where lkrfletcher just tagged your name. Sorry, I’ve been up at 3 on Monday, got 4 hours of sleep monday night, then 3 last night, plus had a new employee (thank god) to train today on website stuff so I am basically loopy as all get out right now!
