The week after Thanksgiving:

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone and I will see what the damage is tonight at the gym.  I am expecting somewhat of a hit but hopefully it is not to much of a hit.  I am back on the routine today though.  Regular breakfast and lunch today.  300 and 600 calories (breakfast then lunch)  I am hoping to lose another 10 pounds from now until Christmas.

Wednesday: .5 Days till Turkey Day!

Well it is the last day before Turkey Day.  I did get to the gym last night and got a really good sweat going.  I weighed myself and it was up a little...around 341-342...So i am not to worried about it.  My goal for thanksgiving is to only have 1 plate at our annual meal.  Now i am not saying how tall the plate will be stacked but it will be a standard size plate :-) Friday I will get to the gym to work off whatever I do on Thursday!

Breakfast was light at 250 and lunch was 480...already had my snack today and I am looking forward to my 4 day weekend!

Tuesday: 1.5 days till Turkey

Only 1.5 days until Thanksgiving and I am looking forward to spending about 4 days doing absolutely nothing.  Well maybe absolutely nothing is stretching it...I might do some stuff around the house on Friday. Regardless I am looking forward to having 4 days off.

Breakfast was 290 calories and lunch was 490 calories got to get my snack in around 1:00 or so and then dinner tonight.  Also I am gonna get to the gym tonight.

Monday: Yes I realize I missed Friday

So I missed a day of blogging on Friday.  My schedule was insanely hectic and i just did not get a change to blog.  But that is the bad news. Here is the good news, I got to the gym on Friday and Saturday.  When i weighed myself on Saturday i broke into a new barrier...the 30's.  My weight was 339.  Here is to the hope that i can continue this for the foreseeable future.

Breakfast was 300 calories and lunch was 520 calories and a snack is coming in a couple hours.

Ha!

I almost missed a day of blogging.  Another day down and hopefully another day closer to 300...I didn't get to the gym tonight.  We had to run some errands and pick up some stuff for our son.  Tomorrow is Friday and I do not have any reason to miss the gym.  So i am determined to get there after work.

Breakfast was 320 calories, lunch was 500 calories, snack of 60 calories...and dinner, taco chili...man that is some good stuff.

Yea, Hump Day!

Well it is mid-week and I am wishing it would go a little quicker!  I didn't get to the gym last night...I had a church meeting that went until almost 10:00 PM.  Luckily tonight i do not have a meeting so i am hoping to be able to spare an half an hour to get to the gym and get a workout in.

Breakfast was 300 calories and Lunch was 440 calories.  My snack is going to be 60 calories.  Heres to watching what you eat!  Otherwise it gets all over your clothes.

Actually Tuesday:

Now that it is officially Tuesday, it definitely doesn't disappoint. Look back a couple weeks at my posts and get a feeling on how Tuesdays generally stink.  I am hoping to get to the gym tonight but i have a budget meeting for church and i am expecting it to go long, so i might not get a workout in.

Breakfast was 300 calories and lunch is 480 calories.  Looking forward to my snack of 60 calories in a bit at 1:00...

Monday, but I would swear it is a Tuesday:

Yes, by the title of my post...today has been a little bit frustrating.  But I am not going to focus on that.  I got to the Gym on Saturday and Sunday big old :-) for me.  And I weighed myself on Saturday, 340 even. Which means to date i have lost 7.4% of my total weight.  Which i believe is pretty good so far.

Breakfast was 260 calories and lunch was 480 calories and a snack of 60...I should subtract calories for stress I am incurring today.

FRIDAY IS HERE!!!

I am extremely thankful for Friday to be here...Now the bad news...i was not able to get to the gym last night...we had a bunch of errands to do and when it was all said and done...we were just winding down at 9:30...So i am hopeful to get to the gym either tonight or Saturday morning...and i might actually try to get a workout in on Sunday afternoon.

Breakfast was 325 calories and lunch was 430 calories.  I am going to also get a 60 calorie snack this afternoon.

Almost Friday:

It is almost Friday and I am looking forward to the weekend.  I am hoping to get to the gym today to get some good cardio in as well as a upper body workout. I am still sticking to my diet and i am trying to add a snack in the afternoon to keep my metabolism going.

Breakfast was 350 calories and lunch was 430 calories and my afternoon snack will be 60 calories.

Wednesday:

So evidently the work scale was right and i am at 344...I believe my weight is beginning to float a little bit...so i am going to up my cardio routine some and begin to do some light lifting to keep on burning some calories.  I am also thinking that i need to incorporate a mid morning or afternoon snack to keep my metabolism going.  I am going to experiment a little here of the next couple of weeks to see if i can get off this plateau.

Breakfast was 350 calories, lunch was 500 calories and i had a mid afternoon snack of 60 calories.

Need to hit the Gym tonight:

Well, I need to hit the gym tonight...but it is more to get out some frustration more then losing weight...but the weight loss is an added bonus.  Not sure if I am going to meet my buddy there or if I am running solo tonight.
I am beginning to wonder if i have hit a weight were i need to change it up a little...either with my workouts or with my caloric consumption.  I am thinking that maybe i am not getting enough calories each day. I need to study this further.

Breakfast  was 350 calories and lunch was 550.  Not sure what is up for dinner tonight.

Late Monday Morning:

Well  I didn't get to the gym on Saturday but I did get some good cardio in.  I spent about 2 1/2 hours in my back yard raking up leaves.  By the time I was done i had a pile of leaves that rivaled the size our Jeep Compass.  It was a pretty impressive sight.  Otherwise the weekend was pretty typical for me.

I am curious to see what my weight is now...The scale at work says i am at 344...but I am not sure how accurate it is...Well see when i get to the gym tonight or tomorrow night.

Breakfast was 300 Calories, lunch is 550 calories...I am gonna keep doing my thing during the week...i might need to change up what i am doing on the weekends.

Ha I know it is Friday today:

So evidently my days are pretty hectic...Since the title of my post yesterday had Wednesday in it even though it was Thursday! Man the days go so fast sometimes it seems like it is a blur.  Got to the gym last night and worked up a pretty good sweat!  Now all i need to do is get there on Saturday and that will complete my 3 day circuit for this week.  The scale was good to me also.  I went down two pounds from Tuesday...but that doesn't mean much since I was up 3 pounds from Saturday.  I am thinking that my weight is beginning to float a little bit. So i am more focused on what my weight is on Saturday then any other day.

Breakfast was 325 calories and Lunch is 560 Calories.  I am going to try to be extra good this weekend and really watch what I eat...which is something I normally do not do.

Hectic Wednesday:

As always our weeks seem to be entirely to busy.  There are a couple things I need to do tonight and one of them is to hopefully get to the gym tonight.  All I need is 1/2 of an hour to get some good cardio in.

Breakfast was 275 calories and Lunch as 550 calories.  We had Pizza hut last night, not sure what is the plan for tonight.

Where does the day go?

Man it seems that days fly by without me even knowing it.  Right now it is 12:05 and I am not sure how it got to be this late in the day already.  Got to the gym last night and got a good run in.  Went over 2 miles and burned 450 calories.  Now I need to fit another time in either today or tomorrow.  I need to be more strict on my workouts.  I have been only averaging 2 workouts a week and I need to get back into the habit of 3.

Breakfast was 350 calories and lunch was 500.  I am looking forward to doing some of the stuff I need to do tonight.

Workout Tuesday:

Got to get to the gym tonight...Not sure if I updated this before but i am going to do it now.  I can now comfortably wear size 42 pants.  That is one size down from my previous size of 44.  I am looking to keep the good feelings going over the next couple of weeks.

Breakfast was 300 calories and lunch was 450 calories.  I am looking forward to getting some good cardio in tonight.

Very Good Weekend:

Well guys, i had a pretty good weekend!  I did get to the gym on Saturday and I was very pleased when i stepped on the Scale, 342 is what I saw.  Which means as of right now I am at a total weight loss of 25 pounds...which feels really good to say.  I am going to keep sticking to my plan and i am going to see where it takes me.  I would really love to have the same success over the next two months...

Breakfast was 180 calories and lunch is 500 calories...I am feeling better every day.
