Time to get and stay healthy | The Compost Bin | Forums

I have yo yo'd with my weight for the past decade and I'm done with it. In 2007 I really focused on getting healthy and get back into the grappling sport. I started BJJ and ate right and lost about 50 pounds and received my blue belt. I jacked up shoulder and hand at a tournament and used that as a excuse to take time off and never ended up going back to train. The last 5 years my weight had flucuated between 230 and 270 depending on the season and my activity level. The other issue is owning a restaurant, it can be a blessing and it can be a curse as far as nutrition, sometimes a double bacon cheeseburger with onion rings makes me crumble. I need to fix this.

I saw the doc fat sick and nearly dead last year and was interested in starting it when my brother had a heart attack. After his surgery and we knew he was going to be okay I decided to show him what a life style change can do, So I came home and juiced for 40 days and lost 43 pounds. I went from 273 to 230. I felt great, my allergies cleared up, I slept better and my energy was through the roof.

Well then we started getting into the holidays and I fell back into the same old grind and slowly the weight came back on, I haven't put it all back on but have about 25 pounds. The last time I did it for my brother, this time I'm doing it for me. Monday I start back juicing.

I will document it on this thread to keep me honest with myself. I'm not saying I'm going to do 60 days, I will shoot for 10 and go from there based off how I'm feeling,Afterwords I will transition to a more plant based diet, I feel better when I cut wheat and dairy out of my diet. My goal is 200 pounds and to go after my purple in BJJ and compete at 185. I want to be around a long time to see my daughter and any future grandchildren grow up.

Tomorrow I am going to smoke some chicken in the smoker and have a last final solid meal for a while, and monday I JUICE!
