I do not believe I am truly ready to step outside in my current state and shape to do patrols, and I want to be held accountable for my health, my weight loss and exercise regiment, etc.

As I am, doing help with the homeless and assisting with any situation I may (and hope not to have to) come across, is where I currently stand.

So, as of today, I cast off the shackles of my old habits, knowing I will slip up, fall back. With the help of you all, for motivation, support and advice, I hope to join the echelons of those such as Dark Guardian.

tuesday the 15th

Today was an interesting day, decided to go out and get walking, I been feeling better and I think I've lost a bit of weight so far, but I'll find out the full damage to my bulk on thursday.

I decided to get a bottle of sparkling water, my substitute for when I crave soda, and as I was leaving the store I saw a homeless guy on the corner, folks just passing him by.

Now I don't have my costume fully assembled yet, so this is just me in my everyday, but I went to a local bagel shop, which was next on the agenda anyways, and bought a bakers dozen, set aside a few for my roomies who liked em, and two bottles of water and handed it to the gentleman, and just gave him a chance to have a talk with someone.

He's a nice guy, from Santa Cruz who was pretty much forced out of there due to how the police treat the homeless.

I asked him if he knew of any homeless camps,andsaid I was doing some outreach, but he was new to the area and didn't know, but said if he found out and saw me, he'd let me know.

so...

What's your strategy on losing weight nd getting in shape? It's alot of BS out there on the subject, so I just want to ask since I'm such a nice guy (with a effective, healthy and realistic option that take paitence).

I try to have small personal goals, usually 5 lb increments.

Exercise when I can, usually by walking, because it gets me prepped for patrols later on.

Portion control is the big one. Realy cut down a bit of the size of your meals, tosomething you should be eating instead of the over abundat stuff we've gotten used to

Been about 3 months with no soda, this is my tough one, but juice and water in abundance are very very good.

but stick with 5 lb increments, anyonecan lose 5 pounds, but 20 seems impossible. but after a bit of work at "that last pound" a few rotations, and you'll be at 20 lost.

My friend figured out that if he ate the right carbs, he could eat as much as he wanted and lose weight. Staying away from sugar and other high GI carbs is a good thing. Sticking to carbs with low glycemic index sabelize your blood sugar, and a stable blood sugar give you a stable apetite. You'll basicly lose weight without running low on energy. It might take a while, but it won't affect your quality of life in a negative manner.

I have limited access this week but the log will continue when i return

Yeah you're a freaking giant man, I want you in my corner.

I'm guessing you look like "One Man Gang" or something since you want to lean out?

While we're on this subject, You may not want to "Lean out" so much.

If you look at older photos & video of me I was coming in at 5'11" 230 lbs.

Over the course of a year I dropped 30 Lbs. but I wasn't out of shape at all. I was Power-lifting. I was dead lifting 405. Squatting the same & benching 365.

When I stopped power lifting I didn't need the bulk anymore so I dropped it. People are stupid for the most part, they equate being scrawny with being in shape (why IDK you never see skinny guys in World's strongest man. that guy who is Jillian Micheals partner on biggest loser is a rake) , and I think Kane would smash Brad Pitt in a fight, just my opinion.

But Man, 6'6" 320lbs? Why not play your strengths? Power-lift! you could toss me around like a rag doll! I tell Phantom Zero & Raz the same thing. Play your strengths.

Or maybe you look more like Brian knobs?
