So I started my new journey to being healthier, and back in shape. Hit the grocery store and got some great things for this. Lots of veggies and fruits-good protein. At work yesterday, I ate great, and kept track of everything. But at dinner, the wife and I decided to split a frozen pizza. It was great, but I was pretty guilty after. I just want to eliminate those poor choices. I guess baby steps, since this is a new journey....

I do love the gym as well. But I'm kind of stuck right now because my left knee has been acting up. Gotta go see Orthopedic doctor and get an MRI to see what's happening. So this is all pretty frustrating right now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks a lot. The bike has been fun.......maybe a bit too fun considering my current health status!

Hey everyone. I just stumbled on NF yesterday through a post on My Fitness Pal. Started reading through the website, and what it was all about, and got pretty excited. I even bought the book last night and started reading it. The reason I was on MFP in the first place was because of the situation I've put myself in. On May 2nd of this year, I bought myself a great birthday present-a new Harley. Well, all I've been doing on nice days off is riding, hitting bars, drinking beer, and eating bar food. And so I've ballooned to 289 lbs. since May. A gain of almost 40 lbs. The worst thing about this? I stopped playing my favorite thing- hockey. I'd skate 2-3 times a week, and while I wasn't in great shape, the exercise kept me from gaining weight. I still could have afforded to lose about 40 lbs, but I was happy. Well, no longer am I happy. On days that I'd be out on the Harley eating and drinking, I'd be too tired to play hockey that night. And so the cycle began. I got so out of shape so quickly, that even if I had a restful day, I would not go to my game because of how out of shape I'd become. Now, my left knee has been acting up, no doubt due to the added lbs I've put on. Now a depression has overcome me. I know what I need to do. I just need some motivation. Hoping this site and the book will get me motivated. Thanks for reading my pity party.
