Daunting road

As this week a celebrate a huge achievement however I feel overwhelmed with the road ahead.
I have now lost 120 pounds and 100 of it was in the last four months. We will leave out the part that between 2013 -2016 I gained most of what I previously lost.
Anyways,  after losing a 100 pounds that sounds great but what doesn't sound great is the scale reads 360 pounds. Even after losing 100 pounds I am still fatter then the average overweight person.
It is also a kick to the nuts when you post something on social media that you lost a 100 pounds and someone sees you on the street and look at you like "you lier you are still a fat bastard"
This happens all the time trust me I have lost a 100 pounds more then once. Which is really sad to say and still weigh 360#
Weight loss is more than a personal struggle. Being fat is a struggle with society.

I am back again. Like a bad boyfriend

I have had lots of a struggle but have learned tons and am now going to try and share it with the world. I will be deleting old content that is now known as wrong and try to add as much as I can. With 4 daughters now and taking care of my mother as well as running our own business my wife and I are very busy.

#71 how bad of shape is America in?

I have been doing a few new workouts for the past six weeks. Really pushing the heart rate up. I really do like pushing my limits now. I am hoping to really push my weight loss. Here is an updated pic. I plan to add the new workouts to my workouts page soon.

Some good things are happening.

2012 is coming in with some great momentum from 2011 my weight has not been coming off as fast as I want. truth is it has stayed the same but my BMI has dropped so by the math I have lost 13 lb's of fat and gained 12 lb's of muscle. So I am very happy about that. Also we are going to have a new contributor. He will be introducing him self soon so stand by.

#65 HTC Hero S Video review

Well for the past 6 months I have been limping along my piece of junk (cell phone) I did a thorough search when I bought it and though I found a great phone. but unfortunately in two years I have went through 4 htc touch pro 2's they just can not seem to make it past 6 months of my use. Unfortunately both my wife's 2 year old and very beat up phone and my phone all but quit this last week so of to us cellular we go. I did not find a lot of info online or reviews so I just had to go with the best guess and by playing with the phones the best I could.
I ended up with an HTC Hero S so I thought I would post a quick little video.
I know I do not do cell phone reviews but I could not find anything on the HTC Hero S.
So here I am sharing (very poorly)

The camera I am most impressed with it is

#61 My Omni Shoreham hotel room

Here is a quick video of my room that http://www.anytimehealth.com/ and http://www.anytimefitness.com/ got me for the Anytime Fitness Conference. The Omni Shoreham is very nice with slow elevators so I got a lot of stair work this weekend it was great.

I have only had one challange thankfully I am just exusted but the down side it was in the airport here in D.C. But I gave my plank face in the floor. Going to take a quick nap before dinner.

#58 How to travel

Well tomorrow will be my first time on a plane. As I said previously Anytime Fitness has given me an all expense paid trip to D.C. For the annual AF conference. I do not even know what to take for clothes. I have not bought much that fits for the simple fact last spring when I bought some much needed pants (tight pants) I under grew them in less then a month. I did not realize how nervous I was until I got to work 30 min early. As I go through my list of things to pack I realize what am I allowed to take on a plane. I mean what are they going to say about my chia seeds in a old honey jar. I do not want to take a new tube that is just too much and takes too much space. So do the people at the airport freak out on little black and white seeds being carried in an old unmarked jar? I would hate to be strip searched over some chia seeds. I just do not know. So with my ramblings you can see how may day is going. I just hope I can sleep good tonight and early. I have to be up by 3:00A.M. To make it to my plane on time allowing the prescribed 2 hours for security. Well off for now but before I go I will add my challenge. I know I will not be at the gym but I know there are many fitness fanatics that will be with me tomorrow. Almost 800 last I heard. That some read this so I may be in some serious pain. So here it is if you comment on this post you have the ability to challenge me to a 20 sec plank. I know 20 sec is not a lot but I know after a few challenges I get worn out. So there you have it. Have a great weekend and hope to get a good workout on.

#57 you like to see me work

Well yesterday did not go as bad as I thought it would. Luckily not as many people came in to make me work off the pizza as I thought there would have been. However some of you that missed the opportunity have suggested that I have a challenge more often. So here it is once a week I will post a challenge for the next day. How it will work is, as long as you leave a comment on my blog and lose LB or die FaceBook page. I have to do the challenge like for yesterday it was I had to do what you did for 5 min. So I will post a challenge by 10:30 the night before, the rest will be up to you and whoever else is following and decides to make me sweat.

#55 Long days?

How quickly we go back

I have one of the best jobs in the world. I work as an h2i for an Anytime Fitness. However, some days I feel a lot of helplessness and am very sad. I feel this way when I see some one who needs a life style change and they start off making the commitment needed but then they lose motivation and just go back to their old ways. I really wish

#52 Quinoa what's that?

Quinoa is a really good food to get to know if you are looking for nutrient dense foods and a great food for weight loss. It is one of those foods that is extremely versatile.  I love quinoa and cooking

#51 Exercise but WHY and HOW?

As most people have heard to lose weight exercise is necessary, and it is. However it can be hard and why is it necessary? Well the why is endless, in short it will make you feel better both physically and mentally, give you more confidence, sleep better and on and on. There is a large misconception about exercise and weight loss though.
