My Story

On Monday, May 31, 2010, I embarked on a mission to lose weight and to get into the best shape of my life for my wedding. For a long time that mission was a success until life started getting stressful and food became a way to cope with that stress. To make a long story short, the mission fell short before my wedding day was here. And to make things even worse, I stopped eating healthy, exercising, and blogging for over two years. I now have a very beautiful wife and baby boy but my health is still crap. So to turn things around, I am brining back "The Heavy Man" and the "Mission to Healthy."

Day #213 & #214 - Almost There!

The big day is almost here and I can't wait to get it done and over with. All of the hard work, long hours, stress filled days, etc...... has all come down to one day. I hope everything goes off well because we have all worked to hard to not have it do so. I am sorry for missing a few post days during the the last week, it has been very hectic down here trying to run this event. But at least I have found some time to eat a little more today, than I have been the last few days. I am still alive and kicking but I would imagine that my stress levels must be off the charts though.

I have another long day ahead of me again tomorrow. But before I go, I want to leave you with my up date photos from the the last two days. I hope you all have a great new years eve and let's make sure to start the new year off great!!!

With that being said, let's get to the details of the day:

Meals of the Day (The Heavy Man - 49 Points)
(I am currently following the Weight Watcher's PointsPlus program)

* I have honestly not kept track of food intake the last two days. All I have to say is that it has been less than my daily points intake each day. I really can't wait to get home so I can get back to my normal weight loss plan routine.

Exercise

I was constantly moving and sweating my butt off today. I also can't wait to get back to a normal exercise routine as well.

Day #211 & #212 - Same Stuff, Different Day

Well it finally happened. I knew it was going to be hard to keep up with my blog every single day of this week. I apologize for missing my first day out of 211 straight days. Things are busy and hectic down here in Charleston but we are managing to survive. Today was another long day of non-stop work. I want to say that I made it to the gym but I have been up working since 6am and it is currently 12:15am now on Wednesday morning. And I am running only on 2 hours of sleep in the last 3 days. I think if I can pull this whole event off, then I will be able to do a lot of things in life. But I want to stick to getting through this week first.

I have another long day ahead of me again tomorrow. But I want to leave you with my update pictures from today and yesterday because I missed last night's post.

Day 210 - A Bad Weather Day

It has been a very long day and I am going with no sleep now for the last 23 hours. Today was the day that the participants for my event were suppose to start showing up in Charleston. But I think mother nature had other plans. The north eastern part of the country was hit bad today with a gigantic snow storm. Which in return cancelled a lot of flights for my event. We were supposed to have over 60 people arrive today, instead  only about 25 arrived due to bad weather. This left us scrambling the entire day, trying to rebook everyone on new flights and trying to time our airport pickups around the massive amounts of delays.

Amongst all of the craziness, I only managed to eat three slices of pizza the entire day. And that was because pizza was the only thing available to eat. I did however manage to keep myself moving the entire day. Rest was not an option,with the amount of work that had to get done. I only hope that tomorrow's kick-off event goes off without any problems, "knock on wood." Anyway my friends, it is 6:15am and I have a meeting coming up at 7:00am, that I have to make sure I am ready for. I will talk to you all tomorrow.

With that being said, let's get to the details of the day:

Early Afternoon - 2 large slices of pizza = 14 Points
Dinner - 1 Large slice of pizza = 7 Points

Total Points Eaten Today - 21 Points (28 points under my daily limit)

Exercise

I was running around like a mad man today but I did not get into the gym. I will get into the gym tomorrow for a weight lifting session.

Day #210 - Weigh-In = 210.6 lbs

Day #209 - Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!!! Tonight's post is going to be short and sweet. I woke up this morning feeling better than I have been the last few days. The reason for that is because Patty and I were alone in the house and there was no body from work asking a million questions or interrupting me every five minutes. I was actually able to go about my day very relaxed. I spent a little time today working and the rest was with Patty. We finally moved into the hotel today and boy did we get the royal treatment. We are staying in one of the presidential suites in the Charleston Marriott and I think I could get used to it.

Patty and I didn't get a chance to exchange any gifts today and it took us forever to find an open restaurant to eat at. This area really shuts down during a holiday but we were having fun trying to find something that was open. We ended up finding an IHOP that was open and we had our selves a nice little Christmas morning breakfast. And of course I ate healthy this morning, especially after our Christmas Eve dinner last night. Anyway, is it getting late and we have a ton of work to do tomorrow in preparation for everyone arriving for this week's big event. Wish us luck everyone and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

With that being said, let's get to the details of the day:

Meals of the Day (The Heavy Man - 49 Points)
(I am currently following the Weight Watcher's PointsPlus program)

Breakfast - 2 slices of whole wheat french toast, with egg whites, and 2 slices of turkey bacon = Points 11
Snacks - 2 servings of sun chips, 2 servings of cheddar cheese, 2 granola bars, and a fruit cup = Points 19
Dinner - Baked Chicken with a serving of risotto rice = Points 11

Total Points Eaten Today = 41 Points (8 points under my daily limit)

Exercise

I did not make it to the gym today. I did however move a lot of boxes and equipment over to the hotel.
