A New Day???

Today I start the battle yet again, I guess it’s good to keep trying although the continual failures drive me CRAZY. 382 this morning, once again up, way up and I really feel it as well. The older you get the harder it is to carry an “extra man” around on your back all the time. I am TIRED, so TIRED all the time, and there is no relief in site unless I get off my ass and make a change. The first 40-60 pounds are always relatively easy, I’ve got to figure out how to make it over the hump once I get there again. I feel as though I am a broken record, time and time again with the same results… The ideal definition of insanity is ME when it comes to weight loss. I try to motivate others I see struggling with health and weight as well but what kind of motivation can I give them if I don’t walk the walk. I can’t be talking the talk unless I walk the walk… I guess it’s time walk the walk again…

2nd Week Down

I gained a pound this week, not at all worried cause I did have a pretty good week none the less.  I blame it mostly on Tuesday night before the weigh in.  We are in the planning stages of our 25th high school reunion and we had a meeting, a few drinks we had, some bad food was eaten and all on the eve of weighing in...  It was just timing I believe and look for something pretty good this week...  Stay tuned...

Loser Part Two - One week down...

Maybe I've found my groove, maybe I've turned a corner, my mind set seems more determined than ever and a good start is always motivational.  10.4 pound loss this week and honestly I wasnt surprised, I tried really hard, got some good exercise and really only had 2 bad diet moments, 5 or 6 drinks last Friday and too much for supper last Saturday.  I got some exercise, on the bike outside on three different occasions and held fast to the idea that its okay to be a little hungry sometimes...  10.4 pounds comes out to 2.93%, the funny thing is I didnt even win the week for the loser contest, second.  First place was 3.8%. I informed my wife of how I did and her response, "Thats great, you beat Michael and Koli this week."  That was nice and very touching as well as very motivational as well.

I've taken to tracking my calories VERY well and averaged 1850 calories per day intake in the last week, my water intake was better than it has been and soda has basically been elimated from my diet, maybe two cans in the last week...  We'll see...

I have to say I will not be hapy this next week unless I "PROVE" this week wasnt a fluke.  My goal is another 10 pounds, seems insane but when you are as big as I am its VERY doable.  I know that cant be my goal all the time and have enought sense to realize and understand how this works BUT it gives me something to shoot for this week and something that will not come easy...

I've taken up a new motto when it comes to diet and exercise....  "STIFF UPPER LIP" - Keep that stiff upper lip, even when it seems imposible, even when you don't feel like sticking to the plan, even when there are distractions and excuses...  Keep it and keep with it, I deserve it...

Enough rambling for now...

The Finale - Finishing Very Poorly

Not dwelling on it but I gained 8 pounds durning the last week of our contest - My body was screwed up and two days after the last weigh in those 8 pounds had dissappeared, I dunno, I wasnt happy and actually I was pretty pissed off, we'll leave it at that ...

NOW - the next contest starts tomorrow - I will make this VERY hard for anyone else to win this but me...

Stay Tuned...

BL - Week 11

Well as frustrating as it can be at times I've made some progress.  Another 2.8 pounds loss this week gives me 9.6 in the last two weeks, I'll take it...  That puts me at almost 25 for our contest and I'll take that too, I guess the main thing is to keep working at it.  ONLY two workouts this last week...  I need to be patient but I'd like to make it under 340 by the next weigh in...  That would be 27 plus for the contest...  Decent, not quite what I wanted but again I'll take it...

BL - Week 10

OKAY, so I've proven to myself that I can do it and all it takes is to STOP being lazy and let NO excuses stand in your way.  I know it, and have always known it and have been there done that got the T-shirt BUT making it stick is the key....

SO - 6.8 pound loss this last week puts me over 20 for the contest and with 2 weeks left and the new goal is 30 lbs but I'd take 32 or 33 - Yahoo, we're on a roll...  If 4 Trips to the gym with 4 sessions or hard cardio and 2 sessions of weight lifting and a good balanced diet will get you 6.8 pounds then thats jus the goal I'll have to keep doing each and every week...  PLUS, getting my BUTT ready for outside biking is an added benefit, it is just around the corner....  Taco Ride anyone....
