Hey bro, did you see THIS GUY?

Great video, I'm surprised I haven't seen it.

Well wasnt this all just a big disappointment....

I really didnt think that it would be possible to let everyone down like I said but obviously I did.

3 months later I guess I can say I failed miserably. I only worked on this for about a week and then I got my car accident law suit money and I stopped and never started back up.

I seriously feel so terrible. I got everyone's hopes up and so much support. But thats what happens when you are a huge procrastinator. It doesnt take much to stop something when I get out of the "groove"

But wait. Theres hope. Really? Yes really. No way?! Yes way!

You best not be lying. I am not!

Well I got my first tattoo last week! Well this artist has tattooed my mom and my sister and her boyfriend before so I decided it was my turn!! But anyways. After I got my tattoo my mother had another scheduled for a few days after mine. Well I didnt go becuase I had to baby sit my new puppy. Anyways when he sits down my mom to tattoo her he says :

" I really like your son, he seems like a really cool guy and all, but..... I think he is really unhealthy and he is going to have heart attack soon"

Then he continues on... he says " I go to the gym every night after work and I want your son to start coming with me. I will even switch gyms to the one closest to your house and I will even pick him up"

"Best of all I have a friend at that gym who is a personal trainer and will train your son and give him a years gym membership for $200"

That was pretty much the whole convo.

When my mom told me this I was flabbergasted. I was like... really? He said that? No way.

Now one of the reasons I was so shocked is because my tattoo artist is a really hard guy I guess you could say. He has big balls and isnt afraid to speak up and say whats on his mind LOL. He really didnt seem like this type of guy. Like he is a complete stranger to me and cared about me and wants to help me????!!! I was utterly shocked.

Also his wife is a personal trainer and a nutritionist as well.



So yah. I am going to do this. As soon as I get the $200 and gym clothes. It kinda made me realize that this is my last chance and I need to jump on it before I lose it.


Kinda funny how some things work out eh? I go and get my first tattoo and end up with an offer that will change my life.


That and if I dont accept he will probably shun me forever and never tattoo me.

But if I do accept he said he is gunna ride my butt so hard (no homo) so that should be fun lol.

Well yah. Here is to another new beginning! Lets hope this one sticks. Because I really have no choice this time! Cuz if I stop I might get my butt kicked... literally LOL!!

Ahhh the slippery slope of weight loss. Did you know that your body, everyone's body, loves fat sooooo much that when you start to work out you'll actually gain weight before you start to lose it? Weird, but true.

Don't give up, keep with the program, even if you have to slim it down to begin with. Work out more and eat less and you WILL lose weight. Less can also be better, more healthy than you do now.

Give it at LEAST 6 weeks. You may not see much change at all before that, but if you keep on keeping on, you will after that. This is the voice of experience speaking to you.

Good luck and don't quit.

awesome, great to hear that you want to change! you can do it!

Sometimes stuff just happens. I mean yeah, sometimes we make excuses, but it's in the past and you can't go back you can only move forward.

When I started on the same trek, I made a list of reasons why. Like...
Wanting to be able to take a hike and not feel like dying.
Wanting to feel better about myself.
Etc, etc

I put that list where I can read it while doing exercises, or stick it in my pocket while I take a walk. It helps keep me motivated when no one else is around to do so.

I also made little gift goals. If I got down to a certain weight, I was allowed to buy something big for myself. One of those things was my puppy. ^_^

I'm still on the trek now, I had some of the "stuff happens" this last year. My health went down the drain, but I keep pushing through. I haven't lost much this year, but I'm slowly starting to feel better regardless. Gaining a little endurance I suppose. It's certainly not going to happen overnight, so don't get discourage! Good luck! You'll get there.
