<![CDATA[Jon's Journey (not as good as Joe Hells)]]>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

Eating only what I make is not hard, eating too much of what I make is a different story.

Speaking of which, are you ready for more pecan pies? LOL

I’ve cut calories to about 1400 per day, but everything I read is that it will take a bit for the body to stabilize.

So, some backsliding but not as bad as I feared. 195 this morning after eating a light breakfast. Travelling always gets me cause snacks are everywhere. This time I brought some Keto bread, prosciutto, pepperoni, sugar snap peas and carrots with me and that helped but WAY more beer was drunk than normally would be!

I won’t to make sure no one suffers any long term side effects first, before I try it. LOL. 😂

Similar to what we have seen with ours. A good initial drop then a slow down but continued progression.

I did that last winter. I don’t plan on doing it again. I’m getting old enough where it is harder to shed the weight. When I worked construction I had a winter weight and a summer weight. The difference was about 30-40 lbs. I can’t do that anymore…lol!
