First Post

Aaaah. The first post. A clean slate. My first chance to grab the attention of my ... audience.

I am writing this post since the last post I did was mostly work. I want this one to be fun and just be my thoughts put to screen.

As the title dictates, I am a fat black belt. Well, fat master. But I thought that a blog titled "Fat Master" would sound to much like an infomercial. I have been training in martial arts for most of my life (about 19 years) and have consistently been heavy. Like, way heavier than most mortals.

I thought about writing this blog in particular since I am again treading the path that leads to the weekly weigh in. I have had a fair amount of success so far, but I have hit my plateau, again. I cannot seem to get below 270.

Years ago, when I was much younger and healed faster I was down to 245, but I was 18, single, I couldn't afford food, and I had the time that I needed to train all the time. Even just 6 years after that, I was stuck. I was preparing for a training trip to South Korea and was running 4 plus miles, at least 2 times a week. I still was stuck, but that time at 300. I think it was from the weight lifting.

So here I am again. 14 years later, chasing the evasive under 270. It seems that it doesn't make a difference on how much I work out (I am in moderate shape, considering) but how much I eat. I hope that instead of eating, I will blog.

Here is me eating only a 2 egg sandwich for breakfast.

Eggs are much healthier than people give them credit for. They are only like 60 or 90 calories each. And since I get them free from my in-laws, I can't complain.
