Beerzerker restarts small

<Dr Nick voice>Hi, everybody!</Dr Nick voice>

I've been around, but haven't been active for a while. Had lots of family stuff going on, but I don't want to make excuses for not being as active as I want.

 

This morning, I stepped on the scale and broke through one of my mental barriers (not in a good way). For the first time, maybe ever, I'm over 250 pounds. The scale read 251.5, and it was a reality call in a way that my clothes getting tighter hasn't been.

 

I'm fairly active, but not at the fitness level I want. Two weeks ago, I resumed Tae Kwon Do, and I feel better just adding that to my schedule. My goal going forward is working out 5 days per week(on tae kwon do days, that will count as my workout even though I'll try to also do another session of either stretching or endurance work).

 

Once it stops raining, I'll be adding mountain biking with my son, but I also need to work on increasing my lower body strength so I'm ready for snowboarding this winter.

 

Anyway, long post to say my goal is to exercise regularly, eat better, and hopefully the side benefit will be increased strength and lowered weight(weight is less important than strength & fitness to me).

 

My measurements are currently:

251.5 lbs (114 kg) (electronic scale)

26% body fat (also read by the scale)

Height: 6'8" (203 cm)

Chest: 45.25 inches (115 cm)

Waist: 40.5 inches (103 cm)

Hips: 45.75 inches (116 cm)

L Thigh: 27 inches (68.6 cm)

R Thigh: 27 inches (68.6 cm)

L Calf: 16.5 inches (42 cm)

R Calf: 16.5 inches (42 cm)

L Bicep: 13 inches (33 cm)

R Bicep: 13 inches (33 cm)
