So this has been several weeks coming............
Yeah I know! How can you follow someone's progress when they do not post for awhile??
Kick me, shun me, however you look at, LIFE, unfortunately gets in the way sometimes when you are trying to reach your goals.
Between work being crazy hectic, home life pretty much the same, some scary health issues popping up for my parents, it takes its toll!! ALOT!!!! To the point that you want to say "I give up!"
WOW. That's a lot to swallow. And yes, yours truly has seriously fathomed the notion of "QUITTING"!
Something struck me funny the other day just staring at myself in the mirror.No, seriously, physically struck me!! It was me. I starred at myself and just slapped myself. It felt GOOD!!! Did I completely wake up....... probably not but it struck me enough to say you have got this!!!
So where is my weight, unfortunately back up. Eating habits you ask, not so good. Strength and energy? about flat!! Blood sugars back to being whacky.
I have made it a mission by my birthday in February to be BACK ON TRACK!!!!!
Everyone gets down, something happens in life to throw you a curve ball!!! Don't do as I have or many other people and give up, SEIZE THE MOMENT! Move forward, set those goals, and pulverize them! Show the world that you will not go down without a fight!!!!!
So what are you going to see out of me over the next several months you ask? Well let's see.....
1. I will be posting every week or more to this to show my progress.
2. More and more will start coming out of ScottHealthy, ScottFit. Time to get the sweat on!!!!
3. Progress pics will start going up. And not one every few months!!
4. It's time to get this #100goneorcubson deal sealed!!! Get Ready for someone to wear the opposing team's colors!!!
and last but not least! I must APOLOGIZE!! It has been to long away from this stuff to not make that apology! Why, I feel I need to!! We all want a better life, the only person who can change that is myself.
Time for that transformation!!!!!

#100GoneOrCubsOn turkey week update!
Can we get a big ole "WOOHOO" for Scott who is still making progress towards his goal? So so awesome!! Here's his update for this week!
So let's talk....... this is not EASY! Not by any means! When it comes to being a person that went to Hardee's everyday for lunch and ate what I wanted and got into that routine. You bet your sweet ....... well I won't add that word...... IT IS NOT EASY!!!! To make those changes, to see what all of this "fast" food has done to our bodies over the years..... it's rough.
It's time to start thinking different about your body's needs!! I have chosen to look long and hard at the Paleo way of things! Meat! Our bodies were made for that! At least that is my opinion!!
So look at what you are doing. Find what it is that you like to eat! Vegan, Vegetarian, Paleo, know that you do not need to get rid of the things you like, just control how much you have. For those that are members of the Team Beachbody website. The meal planner is great to use. I have purchased several Paleo cookbooks to see what I can conjure up for me.
Good luck, and we, all of us, are here to help with those needs!!!
"Update time!!!! WOOHOO!!!! Weighed in this morning 297.5. Down six pounds from the last update.

#100GoneOrCubsOn lesson: don't give up!!
From Scott himself again!! Enjoy! :-)
But with that qualification, I have also learned a few things. I started with Focus T25. This worked for me for a few weeks and with anything I start, I don't always complete. And as like clockwork, I did not continue on. Why? I can't explain it. Then I got back into it, this time with T25 and P90X. Wow, I was loving it!! There was even one night that I did them within 30 minutes of each other! Wow did I feel good. But how crazy was all of this!
My weight this go around has been something to struggle with. I was at 303.5 lbs. I actually gained some! No one ever said this was going to be easy. Am I looking for sympathy? Nope, not at all. I do want everyone that reads this to realize that this will be something that you are going to have to deal with! Alone you ask? BY ALL MEANS NO!!!!!! You are not alone in this fight! Weight loss, eating healthy, getting fit are things that we all have gone thru, are going thru or are attempting again! With that, I am resetting my thoughts to all of this! I am going to start simple. T25 here we come again! As we get done with that, the next stage is going to be P90X and maybe, just maybe, another program. I am still deciding on that one! Any suggestions?
Eating right is hard to do when you have, for years, not eaten right. Working construction and being on the go everyday did not give one many healthy choices, or should I say we as people make poor choices when it comes to eating. And that is something for the next update.......
So, please, please, please DO NOT GIVE UP!!!! On yourself, your health, or your body!
And it's update time.....So how is everyone doing? Are you meeting your goals? Are you reaching for your dreams? It has been a week, my reaching for that goal has become a weak link for me. But I am pressing on and learning how this all works. I have become P90X qualified to assist those in need.

We've got a #100GoneOrCubsOn update!!
Straight from the man himself - Mr. Scott Montgomery!!
"So let's do an update! It has been two weeks since this "deal" was posted. Those two weeks have been a grueling and uneasy time to think about getting into the swing of things! I weighed in this morning and am currently at 298.5 lbs. This is definitely where I do not want to be! But if you want to achieve those goals you actually have to suck it up and do something about it! The excuse of not feeling like it or I do not have time does not wash well. Yes, I have used those same excuses in that short amount of time! Remember this..... only you can change you! If you want something bad enough, it is not going to show it's self and say here I am!!! You have to work for it!!! I figure the ups and downs will be there not matter what but I am the one that has to deal with them! #100goneorcubson LET'S DO THIS!!!!"

#100GoneOrCubsOn - Let's get this started!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to one of my awesome #TeamAddictedBB coaches - Scott Montgomery! I met Scott through Twitter thanks to some friendly sports banter between our beloved baseball teams, the Cubs and the (can't believe I'm going to type this) Cardinals. For those who don't know, Cardinals and Cubs is one of those classic rivalries, like Michigan and Ohio or Green Bay and the Bears. Through our conversations, we got to know each other and found out that we could have more in common than our devotion to our baseball teams - we both want to be in better health so that we can be our best for those we love.
Scott got started on Shakelogy and T25 along with the P90X he already had which got him going on healthy habits and good progress! As a diabetic, Scott has been well aware of how food and exercise could improve his quality of life and by making the right changes and consistently eating smart and working out, he has already been able to cut his insulin needs in HALF on a regular basis! How cool is that?!?
Like so many of us, making these lifestyle changes isn't always easy for Scott. The father of two (adorable!!) active children, he's often on the go, traveling for kid activities on the weekends, and it's tough for him to always stick to his plans! Oh, and have I mentioned he has a full-time job too? Yeah. Because of these challenges, he felt he needed a challenge - some accountability. That's where I and these blog posts come in.
Since our friendship started over some good-natured sports banter, we've made a baseball related deal! If (when!) he loses 100 lbs from his starting weight of 300 by September 2nd, 2014, I will wear a St. Louis Cardinals jersey to a Cubs vs. Cards game. Should he come up short (which I doubt will happen!), he will wear a Cubs jersey to the game. (These are my favorite kinds of bets - the ones that inspire you to become better!)
We'll track and share his progress, keep him accountable, cheer him on, and I have no doubt that he is destined to be an inspiration to many! Look for Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and blog post updates with the hashtag that is sure to remind him of the bet - #100GoneOrCubsOn - and feel free to use that when you share notes of encouragement!
I'll be sharing his weekly updates here (think we can convince him to write a few notes for you guys?) and every month, we'll work on having updated photos as well!
Here's the starting point and first update!
