Well, i am sick and tired. It is time for me to have a "makeover" if you will. I have had a pretty shitty life lately, and it is time to do something for me, and get some of my old confidence back.
Step 1 for me is to lose some weight. Lets be honest, I need to lose A LOT of weight. Currently I am floating between 287lbs and 292lbs. I am fat. no bones about it. When I was younger, I used to play high school football, and once out, I went straight to the Stamps practice roster. I learned alot there about diet and how to bulk up and fast. It was great, I was a big defensive end, could move like no ones business. I never made it onto the actual play roster, and ended up getting hurt pretty bad and it effectively ended any chances I had of making the team and turning pro.
After I got hurt, I stopped playing, and stopped doing much of anything physical. Ended up taking up smoking and didn't change my eating habits. I went from being 240 - 245lbs in pretty awesome shape when I played, to going as high as 300lbs. Now I know that seems like a super high number to most of you, but I am also 6'5" and have some really wide shoulders. Not denying my beer gut though LOL!
What I am looking for is first a way to start cutting weight, and then getting back into shape. My cardio is horrible now, no bones about it. I am no longer smoking (quit 2.5 years now), not eating much red meat. I am eating more chicken than anything. I have a hard time with most veggies and fruits, not because i don't like them, but I don't like alot of the textures in my mouth, or the loud crunching in my ears. I know, i know.
Anyone able to offer me up some tips and tricks for some weight loss and so on? good food recipies and the like? Like I said, it is time I did something for myself.
