6th Try

I might of tried blogging for the 6th time.

Notice, I placed a second g on blog, when I placed the ING. Is this right? I did that with instinct leading the way.

Maybe, it will stick this time.

I recently turned 30.

As a society, we say TURN. Its like the milk turns bad, the apple turns rotten.

I had a little mid-life crisis.

I just feel like I haven't done much with the life.

I have a wife, and three kids, which is good.

A part time job, which I love, and I take care of the kids, but I get that nagging feeling that I should be doing something else.

I feel older than I am.

On the BMI scale, I was considered obese. (Even though you wouldn't of thunk.)

And I am getting more scared to do new things, and normal activities.

So I am getting worried that I will have diabetes, or a heart attack by the time I am 55.

And that I am becoming an agoraphobic.

And then just plain old considered a loser all my life. Well in my eyes.
This is a very negative thought. Like I said three kids, with a wife. The part time job I love. It is an instructor at Mildred-Elley. I also have a Masters degree in Library Science from Rutgers.

There is a thought that maybe by writing out my thoughts (bad grammar) and all will help me out in some ways.

As the title suggests, blogging about living, playing, eating and parenting. In different ways.

1. Getting a "you need to know" list. I get the fact there are knowledge books out there, but who cares. I want to create my own. Plus, I want to learn things, and try to remember them that I couldn't do in the past.
2. Do new activities.
   
3. Starting to camp and hike, stuff that I did in high school and college.
4. Lose weight, and eat healthy.
5. Open up a used book store, when we finally settle down in a region.

AS far as losing weight and eating healthy, or number 4 on the list. I have been doing this for 3 months.

I weighted 204 and the BMI said I was obese. I first checked my weight on Wii Fit. And decided to lose the most weight in the shortest time period, as deemed healthy by Wii Fit.

That was 22 pounds, by June 11th. 5 or 6 days away from today. But at that time 3 months.

I weigh 183 1 pound away from that goal.

During this period of three months. I started off by using Wii Fit and walking almost everyday, with a strict diet, with smaller portions. I also kept track of all the food I ate on SparkPeople.

At this point, I hardly do Wii Fit, I walk a lot still. And even though I barely keep track on SparkPeople. I do eat a lot less, and still to the calorie count by weighing foods.

Part of my eating habits, were portion control issues, and consistently snacking.

Say I would eat a large dinner, either at home or eating out. Then there was the snacking in the middle of the night. So even more calories being consumed.

In the past I have tried different methods of eating less. Eating every 4 hours, do not eat after a certain time, etc...

This has failed.

So calorie control, lowering the portions has been working.

There has been rules that I try to follow as well.

I'll get to these in the morning. Bed time. It is 1 am after all.
