Why in the world would I make a blog about my Metamorphosis and what the heck is that supposed to mean? I have decided to change my body. I have been chunky to obese my entire life and rather than die morbidly obese I have decided to do something about it.
My goal? I want to start with loosing 55 lbs. This will bring my 5 foot 11 inch frame down to 225 lbs. At that point I will consider another 50 or perhaps just 25 lbs. I do not want to lose muscle mass I feel that at 200 or even 225 I can live comfortably and maintain the overall good health I have had my entire life.
I have decided I am way to lazy to do much more than walk I currently do 1 to 2 miles daily when I am walking the dog. This walking is not very aerobic since my dog loves to stop and smell the roses constantly. Since I am not inclined to physical exertion, I always presumed I was destined to be overweight.
I have spent may hours recently evaluating my lifelong behaviors and habits trying to understand why I am the way I am. Through this process and much research and filtering out a lot of dis-information I have come to the solution that I believe will work for me.
My problem is and has always been Sugar. I grew up drinking Pepsi, eating lots of Grains and Pastas. Through this research i have come to realize how grains and sugars react with our bodies to preserve our lives. I am not here to preach or even suggest to others how to lose weight this is about me and how I am going to change my life.
This blog is a journal of my progress with with both text and images. Watching the 50 year old man change from obese to fit. I hope that when I make this public others can enjoy it and find inspiration in how I changed my life.
I love you, keep up the good work. Maybe we will all learn from you. Hugs and Kisses. Always, Mom
