My clothes don't fit. A Spiritual, Food, and Workout Journal.

[Morriso001]

By no means am I having a midlife crisis, I'm 26, but I am already beginning to wonder where the last three years went. I'm glad I'm not yet wondering where the last 7, 12, or 20 years went. I feel I have little to show for these last couple years. On the one hand I have been plugging away at my career, advancing even, but as a person I feel I have done little to become better. I'm dissatisfied. I feel like I'm succumbing to the ways of the world. Drink. Sex. Fake friendships. Selfishness. My friends think its fine, I don't feel honest. I don't feel right. I'm not satisfied. I'm becoming increasingly disappointed with myself.

I think for me, it all starts with a healthy spirit, when the spirit is sick, the mind is weak, it gives in, it gives up, it makes the wrong choices, it seeks the wrong people, it takes the wrong attitude, it seeks instant gratification, and the physical body suffers. But each dimension helps hold up the other, one hand washes the other so to speak.
I'm a Christian, I just thought I would share where my mind is getting this started. But don't worry, since this is body building.com, I love this website. I'll be posting a food and workout journal, I'll even post things I have noticed, some things that bug me, I want to remember why being at my current starting weight isn't who and where I want to be. My goal in mind is losing 30lb's over the next 6-9 months. This would put me back into my old weight of 2007, but with more muscle.
My starting weight is 227lb, i'm 6'3. 26 years old. I have made some workout journals in the past, but never made a food journal before. I started yesterday. I like bodybuilding.com for inspiration, thanks for being you.

Thanks NBer, Yeah I havn't even begun to figure out what my nutrients daily is looking like, for now only tracking what I eat, so I remember not to eat to much snacking helps to know I ate well already, and hold off for later.
