I'm Gross.

Unfortunately, this is something I think a lot. I always grew up as a fat kid and extra years of sitting behind desks and shoving candy in my face didn't do much to help. In short, I have always felt helpless to my own weight gain and thus, over time, it has only gotten worse.

Despite being fat, I have always been pretty athletic (at least for my size.) This has been changing lately. For the first time in my life, I've found myself getting winded as I walk up flights of stairs. This is a big issue.

In short, I realize I need to make a serious change in my life if I want to stay alive and out of a rascal scooter for any appreciable amount of time. I told my friend Anthony this and he suggested I pick up a book called The Four Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss. I followed his advice and cracked that book last Monday. Now (hopefully) I can change my life around.

In two days, I will start the Slow Carb Diet recommended in the book. I will also start doing Crossfit exercise three times a week. My first day of this will be monday and I predict a lot of soreness.

This blog will feature regular updates on my progress and methods for trying to change my life around. It will likely feature recipes I learn from my diet, fun weight loss and muscle building experiments I do and pictures and videos along the way. If you are interested in me losing weight, please continue to follow this blog and give me shit if I fail to update it. Please send me messages and place bets against me losing weight (odds and specific bets will be posted next week.) I will use that all as motivation to remain on goal and accountable in my fitness journey.

Let's see how this goes.
