Ian Utile Personal Health Goals Jan 27th 2013
I wanted to post a video of my personal health goals this year and be accountable to it :)
I had a big wake up call, Thanksgiving day this last year, about two months ago. I jumped on the scale and weighed a shocking 275 pounds - it was time for a change. I started following something called the Paleo Diet, also called The Caveman Diet. I followed the structure that was lined out in a book called “The Whole 30” (see http://whole9life.com for more info). I have also been working out almost every day and have had some great results as I focused on my flexibility and endurance. The food I eat now is primarily; meat, eggs, veggies, fruit, nuts and seeds - I have cut out almost everything else.
In the last two months I’ve gained about 15 pounds of muscle, lost 40 pounds of fat and am just under 250 now with a greater flexibility and endurance than I have ever had. I’ve come to the point where I might just plateau if I keep doing what I am doing. So, I decided to sign myself up for about a dozen endurance events this year starting in March and scheduled through October. I’m starting with short events like duathlons and mud runs. Then moving onto small triathlons, half marathons and full triathlons. I plan to cap off my year with a 70.3 mile Ironman. Since I have never been in any race (5K, 10K, marathon, triathlon, etc) this seems like a crazy goal. With God, all things are possible!
I’m happy with my progress, but I’m not done improving my health. Below is a list of all the events I’m doing. It would be great to have my friends join me for any of these events:
