Inspiration

I thought that I was overweight in the above photo that was taken in Busan, Korea in 2006.  I lost about 65 pounds when I moved to Korea and now have put back on about 45-55 of those pounds.  Also my waist size has gotten bigger and I keep asking JJ why did how buy so many skinny jeans from Korea.  Unfortunately, they were not skinny jeans 6 months ago.

Outline of Project 55

1. Little or no fast food-Easy- JJ and I have started cooking again.
2. 45min-1 hour of Cardio 6 times per week-Slightly Difficult-I get lazy.
3. No sweets-Difficult-I love chocolate, pie, cake, icecream and all other sweets.
4. Weight Training 3 times per week-Slightly Difficult-I still need to join a gym and I get bored with lifting weights.
5. Healthy Snacks-Easy-but JJ and I need to do a better job grocery shopping.
6. 8 glasses of water a day-Easy- I just need to remember to drink them.
7. Little to no fried food-Difficult-I live in the South and everything is fried.
8. More fruits and vegetables. Easy-Just need to shop better.
9. Join Men’s Health Belly Off Club-Easy.-Done-Just to follow up.
10. Portion Control-Slightly Difficult- I just need the will power.

Once JJ and I move into our apartment it will get easier.  My parents tend to keep a good amount of junk food in the house and it is very tempting for me to walk by and not grab something to munch on.  I also will join a gym next week.  It is way too easy for me to cut down the workout when I try to work out at home. My plan is to have a Wednesday Weight-In/Project 55 update post every week on Wednesday.  I know that I can do it; I just gotta stick with the plan.

Today’s weight is 250.
