2 a day weekends

During this journey I have decided that for me to keep a good pace that I would go to the gym 5 days a week. Well last weekend I came to the conclusion that since I have so much time on the weekend I would do 2 a days so that I don't overdo it all at once on those days. Last weekend went well and on 1 visit I did cardio followed by weights on the other visit. Today I did another 2 a day where I did strength training this morning and then did cardio this evening, but the best part is that besides a few sore muscles I feel AMAZING.
Beginning this journey was not easy because I was so afraid to fail after giving up the last time that I tried. Lately I have had days where I get really disappointed at myself that I could have ever let myself go so much after being so dedicated to firefighting. The great part is that firefighting has been one of my biggest motivators to go on this journey, so that once again I can be able to help others.

Progress on my journey

When I first decided that I was ready to get healthy and fit without using any excuses to stop me I was weighing in at 332lbs. After having spent so many years as a firefighter I could not figure out how I had let myself get away health wise where I was at the point of almost 160 lbs overweight. This journey has had so many rough moments, but I am starting to see results from my hard work of eating healthy and working out.
As I started this phase of my journey I was coming in on the scale at 316lbs. This phase I really decided that I would commit to eat healthy (get rid of junk food & soda), drink LOTS of water (160 oz) & workout in some way EVERY DAY. Well the results of my first week have blown my mind with a 9lbs weightloss and for once I actually feel good about myself because I know I can do it. There is still a long way to go on this journey for getting healthy and fit, but now I know that I CAN DO IT!
