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.

Taking it in the SHORTS...

The 4th of July Challenge took a HIT this weekend... Surprisingly only a small one and I'll be back on track hard this week.

Friday - Bar-B-Que at our home - Brats, Beers, Salads, Beers, Scotch, Cookies, Beers Snacks - WHEW
Saturday - James 40th at his house - Ron's famous smoked pork ribs and shoulder, Old Milwaukee, PBR, JagerBombs, Salads, Brownies, Banana pudding ETC...
Sunday - Grandma's 90th Party - Food GALORE, BEERS, more food, more beers...
Sunday Night - Pam's 40th Party - Food, Drinks, CAKE (luckily by this time I was pretty worn out and kind of petered out)
Monday - ALL the LEFTOVERS including CUPCAKES, NACHOS, CHIPS, SNACKS ETC...

AMAZINGLY only a two pound gain... Gotta FIGHT BACK...

No Excuses, Just the Facts

I am having a hard time getting work outs in right now. I've been monitoring my food and doing okay there but am struggling to get to the gym, and I even have one set up in the basement. I am busier than ever at the office and seem to be running every minute of every day that I am not at the office. On a positive note a lot more GENERAL activities are going on as they usually do over the summer; Golf League, yard work, honey do list, so the activity level is up since the winter but not enough. I have golf league tonight and plan on walking the course so that's a step in the right direction and I plan on working out sometime today, even if its at 11pm after golf league. (even push ups and sit ups every night before jumping into bed would be good)...

FTF and Keep the Faith...

PS: Did you hear the one about some congressman somewhere trying to pass legislation somewhere making it illegal for restaurants to serve OBESE people? Now, what the hell is that, really steams my ass. How in the world of common sense could he ever think that would be a solution or even legal in these United States. OH, wait didn't we have something like that in the past with "White Only" declarations - I guess even the US it totally moronic and STUPID at times...

Challenge Note

I will be away camping at the great Ponca State Park this weekend so will not be able to post weight again after tomorrow morning until Monday morning. You guys better behave this weekend as I plan to come back with a little surprise on my next weighin...

Go Team - Fight the Fat baby...

4th of July Challenge

Me and a couple of my other blogger fatties are starting a new challenge. The 4th of July Challenge is ON. I'll be posting weight nearly every day and we'll see who can make the biggest dent by then. Nothing RADICAL, just wise. Exercise and nutrition not starvation. I'll post more on this soon but for now Good Night.

We're Off

335.2 Today and 34.6 BF... Its ON....

Tired of it...

You know what I am FED UP and TIRED of the BS. I've been talking the talk but not walking the walk. Its a BUNCH OF CRAP, TODAY it starts again. NO more excuses, how in the hell would I expect to make positive steps if I am not WHOLE heartedly INTO the process. What's the definition of INSANITY. "to continue doing what you have been doing and expecting different results". NO MORE... Grocery shopping toinght, weighing in and body fat tomorrow morning and GO BABY GO...

2008 - Week 15 Update

Weight Today: 330.0
Lost this Year: 8.6lbs
Total Since MAX: 88lbs
April Goal: 323.4 (yikes)

I did hit the weights once last week and once two weeks ago and just can't get that JUMP Start I need to get more focused on the issue at hand. I feel like I am busy all the time but that's just an excuse to not exercise. Everyone is always only as busy as they want to be and can do a better job of prioritizing. I did however get a few miles in on the bike over the course of the last two weeks and feel that my bike BUTT is better now and with the weather getting better its only a matter of time before I am ready for the TACO RUN. A better effort this week I promise.

My spiritual life is a little off as well, maybe its just that time of year. Maybe a trip to MSGR Dunne this week is in order. :-)

By no means am I "down in the dumps" about either of these things I just know when both are in HIGH gear there's no better feeling.

Keep the Faith and Fight the Fat - B

2008 - Week 13 Update

2008 - Week 13 Update (Week 9, 10, 11, 12 too)
Weight Today: 331.4
Lbs Lost this Year: 7.2
Current Body Fat: 33.2
Total Since MAX Density: 86.6
April 30 Goal: 323.4

I have been extremely busy at work and started a new hobby in my personal life that has taken a bunch of time so I haven't posted here lately but I KNOW I need to get back to it.

I have continued to watch my eating and have even broken in the bike and am trying to get my "BIKE BUTT" back. (my butt is sore right now) We did approximately 8 miles on the bike on Saturday and walked approximately 4 miles this past weekend so I am starting to get back at it. Tomorrow I will have the gym at home all set back up so there can be no excuses. Looking for a minimum loss of 8 pounds by the end of April and I am "in the right mind" to make this all happen. Thanks for your support and encouragement.

THE renewed serious dedication is now. On March 25th my cousin, at the grand old age of 43, went to the hospital not feeling well with shortness of breath and came out a few days later having a triple bypass and an issue with one of his valves fixed. I've suddenly got some motivation back. We joked a bit on the phone last week that the only time we talk is when someone dies or is really sick or someone gets married. We'll were all married off for the most part so I guess we better do something about changing the fact that we congregate only at times of peril. :-)

IN the whole scheme of things we never know our time and when its time its time but one thing to consider is WHERE are you going when its YOUR TIME...

Keep the Faith and Fight the FAT.
