Last night I weighed in at 202 pounds, and that was a killer to see. For so long I have hovered between 194 and 197. Sure, I have had a few huge changes in my life, but is that really an excuse for me to be putting weight back on? Or is it just more crap that I have to cut and realize that the best way to move on is to get back on track? I will be picking the latter. However I have come to a cross roads in how to tackle these next 30 pounds to get myself down to the 170 mark.
The diet that really started things off on the right path was doing a very low carb diet. It allowed me to change my eating habits, and lose a good amount of weight. This is also how I suggest people to start when dieting when asked what they should do.
On the other hand I can also just start tracking what I'm going to eat using Sparkpeople.com and see what happens using that program again. It worked out very well for me after the initial weight loss from the low carb diet.
Either way I am going to need to add back in walking to my daily routine and working out with my weights. It just becomes the question of which diet I use first to get me going once again. However at this moment I am leaning towards the low carb alternative where I make sure everything I am eating 100 net carbs or less per day. I am going to do this for 2 weeks and hope that it can kick start my weight loss once again. I will keep you posted in how well this goes and what the results end up being, for now I have to cut the crap back out of my life and stop eating that darn candy! Stupid Halloween!!!!! haha.

Tragic news=Tragic situation
This past September I lost my childhood friend in a sad unexpected way. Jason Mertz was one of a kind. His death left a hole in me my heart and emptiness in my soul. This has lead to me not being in the right frame of mind to either exercise or write on my blog.
Through the struggles I have had a hard time keeping my weight at where its been. I have not been caring what it was that I have to eat. I have been eating a lot more candy. I have also not been exercising or going for walks. It has been a struggle to get my engines back running. Luckily I have not gained much weight, only about 7 pounds.
Losing someone can make it really hard to function and return back to your everyday self, let alone be able to lose weight. However I will be able to reflect back on memories and use them as motivation as I get myself back to losing weight and my goal of getting to that 100 pounds lost goal.
I remember this last time we hung out, we went down to Lincoln City for a weekend to enjoy the beach. Jason was upset that he was no longer able to call me a fat head. He was so impressed with the amount of weight I had loss that he decided he needed to search out a new nick name, I think he was going to just stick to big head haha.
Jason suffered from Aspergers, so fathead was not a big deal to me growing up, that was just Jason being Jason. Whenever he gave me a hard time I knew deep down how much respect and love he had for me. He would tell my wife Kate multiple times just how proud he was of me, how much he respected me, and that meant so much to me. Even though he could never really tell me, knowing how he really felt made me feel really good about myself.
I always admired how he would be there for my family and I. Whenever we needed help, he would be there to try and fix the situation. I feel bad I was not around him more than I was, but we always will have those feelings when the time becomes too late.
I know he is in Heaven right now and doing his all to get me to get back to losing weight again. I have felt him near me many times and know that I need to keep going. He was always impressed at how much weight I am losing and encouraged me to keep it up. I know even beyond the veil he still is rooting for me. I need to take this new motivation and keep on my path of weight loss. I'm close to the 100 pound lost mark, and need to destroy that goal before working on a new one.
