31/M/5’8” SW:279 CW:229 GW:179
I decided to get my shit together back in March. I hated my job. I was getting drunk way too often, and eating way too much. My blood pressure was absurdly high, so I had to make a change.
I quit my job, went back to school full time for a totally new career, and I’m loving it.
I proposed to my girlfriend. She said yes!
I quit drinking 311 days ago, vastly improving my quality of life.
I originally aimed to eat about 1800 calories a day, which I often managed to do. Now I’m closer to 1500 calories a day. I eat a lot of protein and a large quantity and variety of vegetables. There are some special occasions where I go way over my limit, but I simply log it and move on with my life. Those days are becoming less frequent as I truly adopt this lifestyle change.
I walk a few times per week, about 6 miles at 4mph. I’ve also been working with a personal trainer to learn new exercises, which I began in December. I just joined a racquetball league in January.
My fiancée passed away unexpectedly in October. She just didn’t wake up one morning. I surely would have spiraled into a great flaming burnout of despair if it haven’t been for my recent success with sobriety and my healthy habits. I have bad days and good days, or even bad hours and good hours. I don’t know how I’ve been surviving without her, but I’ve somehow done it.
So now I’ve lost 50lbs in 10 months, which puts me halfway to my goal weight. I only included new low numbers on My Fitness Pal to prevent me from going crazy when I see fluctuations.
Thank you for reading! I hope it was somehow helpful. Please feel free to ask any questions!
