No training today...my off day.

OK guys here is the deal...I am fat and I know it.

My goal is to go from fat to fit, it is just one small letter change, but that letter means a change in my lifestyle.
What does this mean that I am going to be changing? First of all it will be the foods I eat; no more junk...I am going to eat clean. I know that I can do it and have been doing it for the past 2 weeks. Does this mean that I can not have a cheat day, of course not, but it does mean that the cheat day will not be every other day.
I know that you all will help keep me accountable with this and you already have, ahem...sarge, and I thank you in advance for it.
I am also working out regularly. I signed a long term contract to my local gym, so I have no excuse, and it continually comes out of the checking account, so that will always be a reminder. I want to find a routine that is good for my body, one that works my whole body in unison, not just iso exercises. Dead lifts, Squats, Power Cleans, Bench Press etc. I want these to be the cores of my routine along with cardio.
One of my goals is to be able to run the Chicago Marathon in under 4 hours, I know...bodybuilding and marathon running are totally different and train totally differently, but I feel if I weightlift and train cardio I will be able to achieve this goal.
Will it be easy? NO!
Do I want it....YES!
Will it hurt? YES!
Will I want to quit? Probably!
Will I make it though the mental frustration, pain and anguish? Only time will tell, but I want time to show me that YES I can do it.

I am sick of being the FAT guy.
I am sick of not being able to find clothes that fit (47in waist)
I am sick of not having energy. (this has not been the case for the past week though - lifting and a clean diet have given me energy)

I am ready to work and strive and struggle until I reach my goals.
I am ready for the pain.
I am ready for the triumph.

I know that it will be a slow process, but I am ready for the commitment.
All of you that have posted on my threads are fit bodybuilders; I appreciate your comments and help.
I hope you realize that this is a life change that I want.
I may go slow, but I am ready to learn.

what kind of cardio you doing?

If it's just cardio for the sake of doing cardio and not Sprints, or anything crazy... do it after.

I'd reccomend when you build up your anerobic compacity over the next few months to start doing sprints twice a week.
