Ghostwolf Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hey all, Im now 35 and had a log here awhile ago and just now coming back on after a year or two layoff. my first venture I lost a bunch of weight and got nice and strong even though I stopped logging. I broke my foot in several places and because of a dvt(blood clot) in the same leg it took over a year to heal. it still gives me pain but some of that is due to me gaining the unwanted weight back on. I now weigh 328lbs and want to paleo and body weight myself down to about 210lbs before I start weight training again and then put on another 10-20 in lean muscle leaving me somewhere between 220-230. I'm a tall bastard at over 6'4 barefoot so even with that weight I am will be a skinny bastard. I plan on doing marches 5x a week and body circuits 3-4x a week until it falls off from the paleo. I blame no one but myself for the weight gain. I got depressed, ate like shit, smoked again, overall just awful health style. I am here to stop crying and keep honest, log workouts, and maybe converse a little bit with folks about the multiverse. I am a single dad to one son who is now 12 and want to be an inspiration to him in all things in this crazy life. feel free to comment and follow along as you will. I will list measurements and stats after tonights trial workout. Quote Link to comment

Ghostwolf Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 seven, my parents Homeland is Australia. I am a first generation American. they came over illegally in the late 70's but my dad was granted citizenship here in 2001. I envy you. I have never seen the country of my forefathers. I dream of it often and one day when responsibility has lessened I will go there and may never come back. 1 Quote Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Sick kids is never easy. Especially when they want to share the bugs with everyone! A workout is a workout so moving is good, 25 minutes of yoga......awesome! Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
Ghostwolf Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 thanks seven! I'm just praying I don't get it. I am a complete wuss when it comes to stomach bugs so I've been disinfecting like crazy. to be honest though I love every minute of it. As having full custody right now it gives me every chance to be the Dad I can be. He's my little man even though hes twelve. I just love being a Dad, its the one thing I know God wanted me to be. I'm stern when I have to be but I spoil him when he deserves it on the same token. I'm reminded of that song by George Straight "A Fathers Love", yeah that's me. I want to leave a legacy with him and for my grand children through him. Good stuff. tonights workout: warmup 10 minutes DB press 25lb ea. 8x3DB row " " 8x3DB DLs " " 8x3sit-ups 10x3 walk 10 minutes cool down stretch 5 minutes also threw in ankle mobility drills for the foot as it stands I can not do one lunge even with a chair, it hurts like a son of a gun. dinner is wild boar sausage from last seasons hunt in a wine sauce and mixed veggies. have a great night all 1 Quote Link to comment
Ghostwolf Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 tonights workout: warm up 10 minutes march 20 minutes plank 15sec x3 ankle mobility 5 minutes cooldown stretch 10 minutes feeling good. diet was good today had chicken and veggies for lunch making veggie omlettes and bacon for dinner(breakfast for dinner is a favorite of ours). gonna give quitting smoking a try starting tomorrow. I would like to live a long, happy, healthy life(at least make it to 72) and I know smoking along with being over weight doesn't help any of that, so on with the life style changes. I was thinking of an e-cig to help with the withdraws. does anybody have any news on these? any way hope you guys are kicking ass out there. enjoy your evening. Quote Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I gave up smoking about 12 years ago, it was the hardest thing ever. You're trying to lose an addiction. I failed 3 times before I got it right. Right up until 4-5 years in every now and then I would feel like lighting up. Hasn't happen for a long time now, but it is easier because Australia has banned smoking in all public buildings, pubs, parks, even trying to get it banned on the beaches, and 5 metres from door ways etc. smokers are becoming a rare breed.The biggest thing I found that helped was getting rid of the smoking place. We had a table on the patio, we would have our 1st coffee and a ciggie, we would have a meal then go outside for a ciggie, have friends over, sit outside and smoke.We literally threw the table away, filled in the patio with plants and removed the area we associated with smoking. It was even better when we shifted house because the house we are in has never had that smoking association. It didn't smell like cigarettes, it didn't have ashtrays around various parts of the garden etc.Good Luck with the quitting, but when you do it and 3 years from now you are going to be able to take a deep breath and know you did the right thing.
