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."

Days #265 - #269 - Catching Up

Hello my friends!!! I have yet again been caught up in the crazy saga that I like to call my life. I don't even think "busy" is the word that can describe the last few days. And it is not just my work life that has been busy, it is my personal life as well. Now I am not complaining at all, I actually prefer to be busy instead of being bored with nothing to do. Anyway, the last week has been crazy but it has also been productive. To tell you the truth, so much has happened that I really can't remember what things happened on which days.

The good thing is, that no matter what happens in my life, I am still going to stay true to my mission and my health. Which means I kept to my healthy eating routine as well as working out every day. Speaking of working out, I have been doing a lot more cardio lately because my lifting partner, Paul, is about to have his first child any time now. So he has been with his wife the last few days helping her along the way. And I wish them the best of luck! Anyway, as I mentioned above, I have been sticking to my mission and I have managed to get myself down to 196 lbs as of yesterday and this morning. I am determined to make it into the mid 180s and then I want to start building more muscle and toning my body. I will have a body worthy of a magazine cover by the time my wedding date is here!

I am now going to leave you with the many update photos that I have taken over the last few days that will illustrate my progress. I have missed you all and I will talk to you again tomorrow.
