number one of losing some weight
0:10
dropping some pounds a challenge I am
0:13
presenting to myself to eat better and
0:17
drastically reduce the amount of
0:21
consumption that I have done for 40 plus
0:26
days ending the previous series in
0:29
starting a 40 day adventure for myself
0:35
to go on a diet
0:37
I'll explain more I'm inviting you to
0:39
join maggot want some errands to get
0:42
these get this wheel the wheels of this
0:46
in motion I'm inviting you to join me
0:49
shalyah as soon as I get everything
0:51
packed up in the backpack of it head out
0:54
on the bike this has been a long time in
0:58
the making it has been years since I
1:02
stepped on a scale
1:08
that's going to change going to the
1:08
store now you can see what was the
1:11
Crystal Cathedral over there currently
1:15
an orange temperature is about 70
1:18
degrees put the sign yep right there
1:28
leaving orange and now technically and
1:28
Garden Grove after I purchase said
1:30
product I'll head back home a little
1:33
later on I might do a couple other
1:35
things and then weigh myself which will
1:38
keep me motivated and also give me a
1:42
starting point for one reason or another
1:44
I never realized there was a park over
1:48
here Abraham Lincoln old school look at
1:53
that Rockies the pattern along the
1:56
ground there is interesting Harbor
1:59
Chapman doesn't look as if koco's bakery
2:03
and restaurant is currently open
2:06
wouldn't matter anyway to me I am it's
2:09
gonna be a hard habit to break
2:11
not getting lunch takeout I've been
2:15
doing it for over the last 40-plus days
2:19
now it's time for 40-plus days being a
2:24
little more careful well careful is not
2:26
the appropriate word but now eating less
2:29
much less got my bike all locked up
2:32
there now this entrance is not
2:35
accessible you have to go in through the
2:38
other one down there I'm not gonna take
2:39
the camera in I'm just gonna go in real
2:41
quick and get a scale and come back out
2:45
waiting head and also purchased a couple
2:47
bottles of water which is going to be
2:49
pretty much par for the course of what
2:51
I'm going to be drinking for the next
2:53
month and a half
2:56
oh yeah also they had two different
2:59
scales available out of the probably 25
3:03
items that were sold out the other one
3:07
was an open box there's only one of each
3:09
this was that this was the only one that
3:11
was sealed so went with this one runs on
3:13
triple-a batteries which should be
3:16
pretty easy to replace I don't know
3:17
probably over the time period I probably
3:20
won't the batteries probably won't go
3:23
out but it's called a balance scale
3:26
right here and the weight that is shown
3:29
there on the front as an example is
3:32
probably considerably less than a half
3:34
of what mine is at the moment $29.99 for
3:39
this plus tax and a couple bucks for the
3:42
water so it was like less than 35 bucks
3:44
for all this
3:54
all right I think this will fit my
3:54
backpack
4:04
the glasses are fogging up quite a bit
4:04
there are a couple of different couple
4:07
of different motives on why I'm gonna be
4:10
partaking on this quest for myself I
4:14
have done this in the past the last time
4:16
was well over five or six years ago
4:20
don't have the exact date in my mind I
4:25
rolodex of my mind my eye a calendar of
4:28
my mind but it's been it's been a while
4:31
I have not stepped on one of these
4:35
probably half well I guess a half of a
4:38
decade but it's been it's been less than
4:40
that's but it's definitely in the years
4:43
growing up I was always very fed up
4:46
until us probably bout 27 or 28 years
4:48
old and currently now 45 years old but
4:51
up until 27 or 28 there's a there's a
4:54
real beehive of activity happening over
4:57
there I was probably about 175 180
5:00
pounds never went over 180 pounds I'm 6
5:04
foot 3 inches tall if I could still
5:07
remember when I had 200 pounds I'm
5:08
thinking I'm getting heavy if I could be
5:12
200 pounds again I would be doing a
5:14
cartwheel I would be juggling doing a
5:17
cartwheel doing a backflip out of
5:19
excitement when you're younger you think
5:22
what do you realize what overweight
5:26
really is compared to as you get older
5:28
yeah it seems like you could just eat
5:30
something that is non healthy and gain
5:33
two pounds instantly after the age of
5:37
you know 35 40 years old and I have
5:40
heard you know 50 when I approach that
5:43
will it'll be even more dramatic once it
5:46
gets to that stage so gonna change
5:49
things up not always about the numbers
5:52
it's about feeling good now as stated I
5:57
just got done completed as of yesterday
6:00
going out and focusing on Southern
6:03
California you know iconic places local
6:07
hangouts some mom-and-pop restaurants
6:10
and such and really none of me know
6:15
feeling poorly when it comes to you know
6:19
just kind of feeling like ha man I'm
6:21
kind of dragging a little bit from how
6:23
much I've been eating really none of
6:26
that series affected how any of that in
6:29
any way it started way before it was
6:32
going on for months if not years before
6:36
that in fact what I had been doing
6:40
recently in the previous previous weeks
6:43
eating less than I had been you know
6:46
eating the one big meal and then having
6:48
a salad at night so in reality feel
6:52
better than I have I'm starting I'm kind
6:54
of already getting a little bit of a
6:55
head start
7:01
but that did not help realize I was
7:01
eating burgers I was eating pizza I was
7:03
eating tacos drinking some sodas here
7:07
and there gonna I'm gonna cut sodas out
7:08
I'm gonna try to cut as much juice out
7:11
I'm gonna try to trim back on the coffee
7:13
if I do very little creamer sugar I'm
7:16
just gonna try to drink this I'm not
7:17
saying I might get some you know
7:19
caffeinated withdrawals so I might have
7:24
to you know take a sip or two until
7:26
those the headaches go away but other
7:28
than that it's gonna be all h2o okay
7:34
let's get back let's get back on the
7:35
bike take a ride
7:42
that's going to be a that's going to be
7:42
a tough one
9:01
I've noticed it's a lot of the local
9:01
parks why I am really I am really
9:03
silhouetted out at the moment but a lot
9:06
of these local parks are some workout
9:09
equipment out here in the elements under
9:11
well this is not really in the shades
9:13
and the Sun but instead of going to a
9:15
gym you could just go outdoors to get
9:17
some fresh air
9:18
well where you going I've never taken
9:23
this path before that's why it's called
9:28
a basin Park because there's water right
9:32
there also this will not be a continuous
9:35
everyday showing you know what I'm doing
9:40
what I'm eating me working out me riding
9:43
the bike I'm gonna be doing a lot of
9:45
other things not just focusing on the
9:51
task at hand just consider this an
9:56
announcement at the end of the 40 days
9:58
I'll pepper in some updates you know
10:02
every few days every week or so this is
10:04
more of an announcement at the end of
10:06
the 40 I will give you the tallied total
10:09
of how much I've lost and if I choose to
10:12
you know pick an episode where I do
10:14
focus on the subject matter you know
10:17
over the course of it but there's gonna
10:18
be a lot of other there's a lot of
10:20
things are opening so I will be you know
10:22
featuring other content as well but on
10:25
the days where I do a weigh in I'll show
10:27
myself riding the bike kind of give an
10:29
explanation of you know what I've been
10:32
doing the process and whatnot
10:35
not sure if I'm doing this correctly or
10:38
not am I supposed to be on the dirt path
10:41
there or am I supposed to be on the
10:44
concrete here it's a full loop around
10:52
this lake
11:10
it's rather busy a lot of people on the
11:10
pathway they are kind of stepped away
11:11
took my mask off you know away from
11:13
every all the activity just to gets them
11:16
just skittle the lair it's a little
11:17
toast it's a little warm out today
11:18
started off cool Sun is definitely out
11:21
what a great idea that do a little
11:23
hiking and walking and as you go along
11:26
you have your choice of exercise
11:28
equipment some of these I've never
11:29
utilized before nor do I really know if
11:32
I want to be if I want to be using them
11:35
under the current another current time
11:37
frame that's why you really don't see
11:39
anyone these are called Tai Chi wheels
11:42
and what does this do is this some sort
11:45
of sit-up mechanism no you put your
11:48
shoulders under here and hoist it upward
11:52
the instructions which should be there
11:55
kind of kind of weather-worn pretty sure
11:58
that's what that is that made it onto
12:02
the dirt path and the reason I am
12:05
wearing this even while on the bicycle
12:09
is right now I'm not near anyone but you
12:12
pass a lot of people and in this region
12:16
I believe it changes from day to day but
12:21
in you're supposed to be supposed to
12:22
have it on you know when you're out and
12:24
about
12:24
now you come into contact just walking
12:26
by and riding by people so I just do
12:30
that but when I'm by myself
12:31
obviously at home okay I don't know if
12:35
I'm supposed to be on the dirt okay I'm
12:37
like go back on the concrete it's a
12:38
little smoother ride here's a stair
12:40
stepper of some sort and okay this is
12:43
for sit-ups the one there on the far end
12:45
that's for sit-ups and this is for a
12:47
stiff stepping or you could just walk up
12:50
a flight of stairs back home now
12:53
unpacking this the moment of truth is
12:58
near the moment the wake-up call it's
13:06
about to happen
13:07
shoes off obviously clothes on
13:12
here goes
13:15
oh my gosh it's adjusting to 81.5 let's
13:31
give that another try stepping on with
13:33
the other foot first to see if it makes
13:35
any difference you know I just want to
13:38
make sure everything is hold on let me
13:43
get my 280 1.7 take best of three looks
13:51
like it's probably gonna be around the
13:53
same get adjusted their feet kind of
13:57
squared give it to me two eighty two
14:06
point two okay let's go from around four
14:10
it might be because I'm kind of hunching
14:12
over take turn on turn on it might be
14:19
because I'm kind of hunching over I'll
14:20
stand more straight up like this okay
14:24
I'm not moving I'm just gonna
14:39
it's because I'm shifting to 82.6 I'm
14:39
gonna round it off look what a little
14:41
lower went a little high burner put it
14:43
at 282 even I'm also holding the camera
14:48
while on the scale so that adds a little
14:50
bit and you know have the bell to have
14:53
pants it was a little before blue below
14:56
blue below 10 to 80 is what I'm going
15:03
for it was one that was a little bit few
15:05
ounces below and a few ounces above but
15:07
after all those I'm gonna put it at 282
15:10
the heaviest I've ever been in my entire
15:14
life as far as documented may have been
15:17
a little heavier but didn't jump on a
15:19
scale I got a lot I got a lot of work to
15:22
do a long ways to go I am 6 foot 3
15:25
inches tall just to give you a little
15:28
perspective when I was around 250 I
15:33
thought I need to lose a few pounds very
15:36
obvious that adding another 30 on to the
15:40
250 it's time definitely something that
15:46
needs to happen been putting it off for
15:48
a very very long time as stated I have
15:52
done this before there have been moments
15:55
in my life when I have dropped quite a
15:59
bit of weight and that is going to
16:00
happen again the whole purpose of
16:03
documenting this in a video and sharing
16:06
it with anyone that either stumbles on
16:09
it out there in the YouTube world is to
16:14
you know to give myself a grasp on
16:16
something to give me something to look
16:19
back on if I fail if I accomplish it I
16:24
have a better chance of accomplishing
16:26
something if I state it if it's just a
16:31
casual I might do that it's not gonna
16:33
happen
16:34
you have to 100% devote your mind set to
16:38
something and that is why I am putting
16:41
this out there
16:42
as I express I will reiterate this will
16:45
not be something I am showing on a daily
16:48
basis back to the regular scheduled
16:52
programming here on this channel that
16:55
means I'm going to mix things up quite a
16:57
bit more than they have been you know I
17:00
did the food series that was a lot of
17:03
fun and side note there are a lot of LA
17:06
and Orange County spots I did not get to
17:09
check out I had a laundry list the
17:12
places I wanted to go but in the future
17:15
I might pepper some in but not until
17:19

17:21

17:34
I will not state what it is in each
17:36
