Day 4
Staying awake all freaking weekend
It is Monday morning, 4:43 a.m. Mountain Time right now, and I just woke up.
This is what happens when my sleep schedule gets out of whack. I didn’t get to sleep until 8 a.m. Friday and did not wake until 4 p.m. Saturday. That meant I couldn’t sleep at all Saturday night and decided, instead, to stay up until 6 p.m. Sunday when I would collapse in my bed, rise early Monday and try to correct my schedule then. It’s a nifty little plan, I think, but it kind of sucks when you are trying to eat healthy and you don’t know when you will pass out from lack of sleep.
For the most part I did well with my prolonged Saturday-Sunday. There were no major breakdowns, but I did need a lot of caffeine to not fall asleep at noon, meaning I would have gotten up at 10 p.m. and had to struggle through Monday.
I even used Sunday morning for my first exercise. I went to the park and walked what I can only estimate to be about two miles. Since it was a balmy 65 degrees, it was as pleasant as a January walk can be. Two years ago, when I went from 345 pounds to 300 pounds over about four or five months, walking was the first step. That led to running eventually and then a pretty successful weight loss.
Of course, those pounds are back now (the vicious cycle of losing and gaining which I am hoping to avoid this time). And I don’t think walking, in itself, will get me the best results. So today, officially, begins the Dan Nied Workout Plan of 2006.
This morning I will be heading over to the gym for at least an hour of cardio, lifting weights and playing basketball. I’ll be honest here, I am a little nervous about the lifting. Whenever I start lifting after a long hiatus (It has had to be at least three years from me) I get disgusted at myself for how little I can handle. I also imagine all the healthy people in the gym silently judging me. I think this goes back to childhood where the worst thing you could have ever been was fat. Of course, these are the types of obstacles I will be facing in this challenge. After a week or so, I suspect my apprehension will subside.
I apologize to my readers for not offering any hard stats. I know it would be beneficial to know exactly how much I weigh right now. However, and this kind of makes me feel bad, I can’t find any scales to tell me accurately. Every doctor’s-office style scale I can find only goes up to 350 pounds. I can tell you that, In the summer, I was around 345. I have eaten like total shit since then, however. Judging by previous weight-gain patterns I have experienced, I estimate that I have gained 20-30 pounds since then. The only thing I can say definitively is that I put my current weight at somewhere between gigantic fatass and morbidly obese.
Officially, I am going with 365 as a starting point. As soon as I get below 350 I promise to keep a running tally of my weight.
As for the diet, the hardest part has been finding motivation to work out. I admit that I totally talked myself out of exercising last week, and that probably wasn’t the best idea. I need to make the conscious choice to do everything possible to succeed in this task.
My body seems to be responding to the eating now, though not as much as I would like. Some fat seems to have disappeared around my stomach, but nothing too noticeable. While that is good news, my goal for this week is to have a break out day, one which I can tell that I am definitely losing weight and heading in the right direction. It gets kind of hard without a scale to measure, but I’ll have to live with the caveman observations for a few more days.
