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.

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...
