Monday Morning Weigh In

A couple of pounds this last week is okay with me. Getting the ball rolling and its at the top of the hill just starting down the hill, its moving, its getting ready to start picking up speed. A couple of workouts last week, some push ups, extra walking, yep, I feel good about it.

The Best is Yet to Come...

Too Paralized to ACT

Dammit, trying to get focused with everything going on and constantly worrying a bout trying to lose weight has got me headed in the WRONG direction. I've got to become like NIKE, Just do it.... Just do something besides filling my face!!!! My motto the last several weeks has been the old "if you ignore something it will just go away" motto. We'll now there is more of me to go away. I had a goal to start the Monday after labor day and I started tracking but didn't officially start anything until last night. As I floundered on the floor watching TV and eating Lemon cookies dunked in milk I decided I had put TOO much effort into getting some of this weight off to let go and in no time be back at 418 PLUS in no time. SO, i actually did 5 sets of 10 push ups last night for my first actual exercise in months. Granted they were CHICK push-ups off my knees but dammit its a start.

Gotta GO, NOW... Whatever the problem is with my commitment to a healthier lifestyle has GOT TO GO - No more excuses and no more letting outside distractions get in my way.

No MORE "Analysis Paralysis" - I know I've said it before but now is the time and I am committed to it as much as I've been since the beginning...

Wish me luck and say a prayer for me cause I'll need all the help I can get.

Anybody know any 400 pound 70 year olds???

I AM Back

We are back from vacation and I am looking to start making my move on the health front. I really have several things to talk about over the next few weeks that I've come to realize and after a 10 day vacation with you family you realize the word "SIMPLIFY" becomes more of something to strive for.

We'll talk more soon...

PS: One pound gain durning vacation ROCKS....

HORRIBLE

I am a horrible blogger right now. The scale said 328 this morning so I am doing OKAY in that aspect since I am not GAINING weight.

In the last 2/3 months WORK has NEVER been busier. I mean in all the 40 years of my existence I have NEVER been busier with anything. We've got two MAJOR projects going on at the same time and have doubled our workload, added employees and taken on a WHOLE lot more. Its actually been good, I enjoy the challenge and the time has FLOWN by but its just TOO Busy. I think we've finally got all the major items fixed and running and it finally feels as though I may be able to breathe again... :-)

We're actually heading out on VACATION on the 1st for 10 days. This is the vacation originally scheduled for the first week in JUNE that I ended up postponing so it is definitely OVERDUE. We are not going far, just into IOWA and pulling our camper but its just EXACTLY what we wanted to do. Get away and RELAX. ( http://clemfamcamp.blogspot.com/ )

BE ON THE LOOK out because my WINTER CONDITIONING program will be kicking off shortly after LABOR day and by the time the start of next summer comes around you WONT RECOGNIZE ME...

4th of July Challenge

I really petered out at the end and over the last three weeks of this challenge. The word on the street is that now we are having a Labor Day Challenge. I am game and ready to keep moving forward with MORE determination. I do want 300 by the end of the year so its time to PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

FADE....

I haven't had a lot of time lately to blog but I am still looking after my weight and health. I've been on the bike several times and been watching my bad food intake pretty closely too. It doesn't happen to quickly anymore but I have to realize that where I am right now is what you would call my "Set Point". The weight you body gets used to and you really need to shock your system to blow through a set point. I was as this weight from January of '86 for probably 15 years until I put on the next 75lbs, that may be why it is much harder now than it was to get the initial 75 off. We'll keep working on it and get there at some point in time. My goals are a little less aggressive than they have been in the past but slow and steady wins the race. Reality tells me I can be under 300 by the end of the year and that is my VERY realistic goal now. Patience is the KEY.

Thanks everyone for your support.

Looks like the captain and everyone else is kind of fading on this 4th of July Challenge. Spidey may still have a chance but I don't plan on giving up so bring it on.

Liberty's 90th Party

I wanted to post a few pictures of my Grandmother's 90th Birthday party here. Some of my family frequents this blog to check up on my FAT FIGHT and for those of you that couldn't make this party I just wanted to share. If you click (or double click) on the pictures they will enlarge and if you right click on it you should be able to save it if you want it. OKAY, so I lied about double clicking to enlarge but please feel free to save to your files if you wish.

Thanks and God Bless..

Finally Ready Again

I am finally ready to make a concerted effort toward improving my health. I made HUGE progress last year and kind of rested on my laurels so to speak, still working but not putting my WHOLE efforts into it, so its time again.

Sunday I got 4 miles in on the bike and last night I went for an hour and got in about 10 miles and finally found the West Papio Trail. It's so much nicer and safer to be on the trail that to travel through town stopping at stop signs, dodging cars and riding on the narrow sidewalks at times. I've got a headlight and a taillight on my bike so completing this at 10pm was really no big deal.

I am excited and feel refreshed today and ready to do it again. Golf league tonight and then back to the trail on Thursday night. We'll be camping this weekend but will take the bikes along too so look for some good exercise over the weekend too.

Only a MONTH left in the 4th of July Challenge and I WILL win it FOR SURE. There is no doubt in my mind.
