I started my journey on Aug 23rd, and at the start of my journey to better health I weighed in at 416lbs.
On Aug 28th I weighted in at 394.
I'm currently eating breakfast/lunch/dinner from a weight loss meal kit, but other snack/shake items are a different brand due to local availability. I'm currently on my second week, and to help me along the way I'm posting almost daily videos on YouTube to share my journey with others. Mostly it's family/friends/coworkers that are following my channel, but it is nice to have the support.
The meal kit only covers the weekdays, so weekends I am learning to wing it while trying not to over do it. Unfortunately this is a horrible time period as it is when most of my wife's family have birthday's so we are going to several birthday gatherings over a few weeks, and knowing I shouldn't eat cake before I go does make me a little bit....I don't want to say bitter, but it kind of fits.
I'm willing to try different meal options, including making my own food. The down side is I'm not bad in the kitchen, but I know I'm not quick, so the more cooking I do the more I'm on my feet, and right now that is a deterrent. I've considered more meal replacement shakes, but I'm not sure with my work environment that would really be a sound option for me.
I'm up to answering any questions, and am open to suggestions and advice. The best source of knowledge is failure, and it's easier to learn from others mistakes as bad as that sounds...
Thanks much!
