Weight Challenge Update

Hey everyone! Good news on the weight loss front. I weighed in Saturday and Sunday at 215... which makes me think that is not a fluke. That is a loss of 25 pounds in less than 7 weeks! When I started I could not run a mile without stopping my run for a walk. Now, I ran 6 miles without stopping on both Saturday and Sunday. Ryan and I have a goal of both getting to 200 pounds with a milestone of 210 by Tigers opening day. We will post pictures from the Barry boys at opning day because Ryan is planning to come into town for his birthday, opening day and Easter weekend. I have heard tons of weight loss theories since starting the weight loss challenge. I am sure they are all true. :) What I have found out is that I consumed far too much bacon for the first 28 years of my life, specifically the last 6 years... I have also found out that food at restaraunts is loaded with sodium... Dr. Pepper 10 is not bad tasting... I can eat pretty much whatever I want, just not all in the same day and need to end the day with a hard workout if I do. That's it for now.

On a side note, Mikala and Matthew are doing great. Matthew starts swim lessons next weekend. He is getting so big! It really does go too fast.

Talk to you all soon!

  1. Good work Nick. Well, I just got back from 13 days in Daytona - eating out every single night. I tried to work out as often as I could - running most days when time allowed. Between long days at the racetrack, track food, restaurant food and drinks at sponsor dinners - weighed in this morning one pound lighter then when I left. That doesn't sound like much ... but trust me when I tell you I'm glad I didn't gain 10 pounds.
