3 months of Sobriety...Where does the time go?

Hello all!!!

Sorry for being MIA for the past 2 weeks. Just been busy and kept putting blogging on the back burner! but here I am now to play some catchup!!!

So yesterday September 24th, 2013 marked my 3 month anniversary of when I decided to take this year long sobriety journey!!! I cant believe that it has been 3 months already. I have to say that these 3 months have been an amazing experience for me...

First things first...lets have an official weigh-in. So on June 24th I weighed 252lbs and on September 24th I weighed 226.7 lbs so lets just say that I weigh 227lbs...so I have officially lost

 

25 POUNDS!!!!

 

 

I continue to amaze myself everyday...I have lost 25 lbs in 3 months. Which just blows my mind. Im so incredibly happy that I am just seeing amazing results. And I am happy that the hardwork, determination and sacrifice that I have been doing the past 3 months that there is just a purpose to it all.

 

life for Adam Kent Nicholas is just amazing...Im reaching out to a friend to looking into joining a volleyball league. Never in my life have I done any kind of organized sport. This would be an interesting challenge for me, but something that I want to do!!!

 

Another friend of mine just recently competed in a triathlon and since the race he has been very lazy and he wants to do an intense 40 day workout before Halloween. He created a group on Facebook and added me into it. Its just funny. Never would I have thought id be in a secret group on FB about working out!!! but this is exciting! I def need something to push me. Loosing weight is gonna get harder and harder now that im running out of fat to loose!!! So Toning up is going to become my new primary focus!!!

 

 

Im just so incredibly happy with life! and Thanks again to EVERYONE that has made these past 3 months such a breeze for me. Thanks for everyone being so understanding when it comes to my sacrifices. My close group of friends mean the absolute world to me!!!!

 

I have always wanted the scales to say 220 lbs...and I am just 6.5 lbs from making that dream a reality...

 

Stay tuned everyone!!!

The proof is in the pudding...

Hello to my fellow fan(s),

So I hope everyone is doing as amazingly wonderful as I am doing and feeling this Monday morning. It is an absolute GORGEOUS day out. It is a shame I am stuck behind a computer for most of the day.

So this weekend...Started out on an annoying note but ended spectacularly. Friday night was going to be low key for me for 2 reasons. Saturday I had a training session at 10am with my trainer and then I was going to Six Flags for Gay Days!!! So I need to conserve some energy! Well Friday night my trainer texted me to make sure we were still on for sat morning. I then reply with a yes, and then at 1030pm I get a cancellation text from him for my 10am workout. I asked for the reason for said cancellation and the reason just blew my mind. His excuse was that all of his other clients have cancelled for Saturday so he would basically come in just for me and that wasn't going to happen...I mean I'm paying you $$$$$$$$$ to work out with me...train me and then leave for the day? is it that hard?

Anyways after that drama it was off to Six Flags with my Cub Crew!!! Needless to say this experience was one of the highlights of my 2013 Summer!!! I love roller coasters and having been on one in about 5 years so it was fun to be a kid again.  We had such a blast riding the rides and checking out the sexy men in the park!!! Definitely got my exercise in by being on my feet from 3pm until about 1am!!! Being around such great happy positive energy definitely made for a great day. Plus the weather was perfect!!!

Now on Sat night I didn't home till almost 3 and didn't go to bed until almost 4. And somehow still managed to get up at 830 to start my day and head to Volley Ball with my Crew!!! This Sunday is was safe to say that everyone's A game wasn't there due to the fact that apparently everyone had a good Saturday night!!! Ha but still 2 hours of Vball time with some fun people was still just as amazing. This time I did not go out with them afterwards I was just so exhausted. I went home, showered and napped!!!

 

 

My amazing roommate cooked us dinner Sunday night...Turkey Burgers!!! I'm so thankful for Rob and how well we get along and how amazing our apartment is!!! Cant wait to plan the next party...

Ok...enough about my weekend...

Why is today's blog entitled "Proof is in the Pudding"... Today I am wearing the shirt that I wore to my birthday happy hour this year. And when I wore it to my HH I looked like I was about to pop out of it, but I didn't care cuz at least I could fit into it. Before I couldn't. So this morning I decided to just try it on. And it fits soooo much better. This whole weight loss process is a huge mental game. I sometimes mentally I feel like I'm still 310 lbs...Now I know I'm not, but its hard to see the hard work I put in sometimes...I just feel blah about my body. But this morning...I got the proof I wanted and needed to see. I am also wearing a pair of jeans that I haven't been able to wear in some time (as they are a slim fit). Needless to say I walked out of my apartment this morning feeling pretty amazing about myself and my body!!! I am now sober for 2.5 months and The idea of drinking is the last thing in my head!!!!

I have lost weight...but I will wait until I reach 3 months of Sobriety to have an official weigh in!!! So Stay tuned!!!

And thanks for everyone's love and support throughout all of this!!!

Happy Monday!

The number of weeks are going up...but the number on the scale is going down!!!

Good Morning to everyone.

I took a hiatus from blogging last week, mainly because I did not have to motivation to write. If Kent isn't motivated, then he will not do it!!!

So I am still trekking along!!! I will unofficially say that I have lost a few more pounds but will wait until later this month to do an official announcement!!!

This Labor day weekend started and ended with parties. The middle was pretty quiet. Overall a lovely weekend. My roommate Rob and myself hosted an end of the summer Roof Top/House party on Friday night. Needless to say I don't know how to invite just 3 people. We ended up having about 40-50 people up on the roof and then back into our apartment when we got kicked out! I was 1 out of 50 that wasn't drinking. I really focused in on my hosting responsibilities and made sure everyone was having a great time! The party was an absolute success and I survived it without drinking! Although its hard, its getting pretty easy this not drinking thing. I along with everyone else just now expect myself to not drink so that's good for me! hardly any temptation! Sad thing is we have SOOOOOOOOO much liquor left over, all the reason to have another party :) That will definitely happen for sure!

Saturday and Sunday were pretty quiet for me. Gym time. Sunday was Sweaty Sunday. With taking 1 Zumba class and then walking 20 blocks with the Zumba instructor to take 2 more classes of hers!!! After that I thought I was just gonna go home and bum the rest of the day, but I ended up going to play 18 holes of golf with Raul and Charlie. It was fun, hadn't hung with those guys in quite some time. After that I was just done, did not leave my couch all night!!!

Monday...Rained...which was a downer but I still went to Freddy and Marco's little brunch gathering. Had a really great time meeting new gays :)

I lost my focus last week but now that Im back in it. The support I have been getting from my friends helps me. I sometimes feel like everything that Im giving up, is there a reason for this?? But when people tell me how proud they are of me and how fit im starting to look...I do know that there is a reason for what I am doing!!!

Just last night a friend tagged in his status update about him coming back from a run and thanking the people who has motivated him to get his health back in check. That makes me smile and makes me realize that what Im doing for myself is going farther than just for me. The fact that I inspire people to do better is beyond me. I NEVER would have thought I would be the one to inspire people to go to the gym...honey I was 310 lbs...I wasn't a gym bunny in any shape or form. But its amazing how different life can be if you just set your mind to it!!!

My other BFF Kenny has said that since the summer has come to an end he wants to stop smoking and drinking. Im busting his balls right now mainly cuz he says he wants to quit all the time, but he knows I fully support him and want him to prove me wrong this time. It takes a lot of will power to not do old habits you and your body are just used to doing!!! I wish him all the best in his journey as well!!!

I hope everyone has a great start to September!!! And I will see you next week!
