So like I said in my last blog, I have a wedding to go to this weekend. I'll be staying overnight up in Salem, MA and the combination of alcohol and restaurant style food is sure to not be "positive for the body".. but that's a-ok.. Why you ask? PREPERATION
I have kept an overly-conscious eye on my eating lifestyle the last week and a half in preperation for this weekend... and I feel good about giving myself this window of "do whatever the hell I want" this weekend. The workouts/runnings have been coming along as well. Up to 8 mile runs in prep for the 1/2 marathon and got a good resistance workout in yesterday with one of the trainers at the club I work at (The Sports Club/LA). Couple all of that with a softball practice and some swings at the batting cage and I'm feeling good.. DAMN STRAIGHT!
I needed to buy a new suit for this weekend (being that I buy one suit every 5 years, and I was currently on year #7, it was time). Got 2 nice ones from Macy's for $350 combined. Pretty happy about that. Had to go get the suits altered. Going through this process still gives me cold sweats. I remember from my 300+ pound days having to go shopping with my mother for school. I used to hate going there to get a size 52 waist, then having them hemmed down to a 48. Bobby needed a size 52 because his legs were ENORMOUS. I'm talking some real meatloafs here. My mom (Roberta) tells me I used to torture her because I would hate to shop in the "husky" section. They should just call it the "fat kid" section. We know we're fat, you know we're fat... just say it! Calling us the name of a dog breed really doesn't help to make us feel better about the situation. Nevertheless, the whole "getting measured and clothes tailored thing" still hits a nerve for me even though my pants are now at a 34/36 waist. Oh well, no use dwelling... moving on....
Went to see Young Frankenstein at the theatre last night, and I was surprised at how awesome it was. I do like me some theatre from time to time (say what you will), but the energy and music that the show provided left me feeling...well.... let's just say I sang Puttin' on the Ritz for the rest of the night (and to be honest, all the way into work as well this morning)... Go see it if you can!
This will probably be my last post until Monday, so have a good weekend...live healthy and KICK SOME ASS---

Good morning people!
I am a creature of habit. I just like to change up those habits often. I don't even kow whatthat means...haha
So every morning I start my day off with the same breakfast that I've come to love, depend on and love (yes, i know... that's how much I love it)
This little breakfast concoction was the cornerstone and stability of my weight loss escapade.
-Cup(because I'm a big fella) of Oatmeal (the 100% whole rolled oats variety, not the brown sugar/apple shitshow that you think is healthy but is really ass)
-Tablespoon of raw, unsalted almond butter. This is really the secret ingredient. Once you mix this deliciousness in you'll really be cooking with gas....
-handful of blueberries (I have big hands so I get more.. haha!)
-handful of low sugar(less than 10g per serving) of granola
-drizzle raw honey on top
Sounds great, right? Well, it tastes even better than it sounds. You're getting a rockin' carb/natural sugar comboand a fat busting protein source in the almond butter. This mix should keep you satiated and happy for at LEAST 4 hours. I'm 6'3 220 pounds and it keeps my hunger at bay for 5 hours... just in time for lunch...BINGO!
I'm heading to a wedding this weekend, so knowing that I'll be eating food that is not "self prepared", I know I have to REALLY keep my eating in check. Shouldn't be much of an issue cuz at this point in the game I know what works.
What I do need to buckle up is my workouts. I'm training for the "Run to Remember", which is a half marathon in Boston on May 30th. I've been pretty good with my training, but my resistance training has fallen by the wayside. This is something I need to remedy STAT! Going to hit the weights today for at least 45 minutes. Can't be going to this wedding with my college buds feeling like a gummy bear. TIGHTEN UP! They already raz me enough for my former-fat kid days. I love them for it, as it's one of the motivational tools that keep me accountable and driven to stay in shape... hey, I'll use anything I can get as motivation... Giddy up!
Stay positive and kick some ass...

What do you mean you can't live without......???
OK, so this is blog #1... you have pretty much no idea who I am, but that has to change.... you ready? Good...
My name is BobbyK and through the this and thats of life, I have lost 140 pounds, care for a paralyzed dog, deal with crappy inner demons, have become a nutrition counselor, yada, yada, yada... we'll get to all of that big and juicy stuff in the future... but for now, just because it's relevant to what I've been hearing a lot about lately... WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT (insert shitty food here)???
This may be the most defeatest, pessimistic and crappy thing I've ever heard... and I hear this crap every day. How can you not live without something that is doing you more harm than good? "Oh but Bobby, chocolate, coffee and ice cream have health benefits ya know".... Oh.. do they? Shut up. Are you really that influenced by everything you read? They publish this crap on purpose to give you that warm and yummy feeling that you're doing something good for yourself. Jokes on you. And you wonder how you gained 20 pounds over the last year eating these beneficial foods.... dumb, dumb, dumb.
Be smart. Your life is on the line here. Your kid's lives are on the line. You have the opportunity to be a trend setter and difference maker in your family, community and world. Change the way you think about food. Yes, this is a VERY difficult thing to do... but that's what I'm here for, and that's what I'm going to be writing about for the rest of time... how to make me and you healthier, more fit and BETTER! Come along for the ride... it'll be bumpy...I guarantee that, but if you stay true to it, stay consistent and gain momentum you will live longer, healthier and kick some ass on your way to a better you. This I GUARANTEE... till next blog....
