Wake up call:

Got to the gym last night and found out I gained 2 pounds, in two weeks. I am considering this a wakeup call and for me to get back on the band wagon, last night was a good night

Wednesday: Time to work it out!

Ok so i did not get to the gym yesterday but i am very determined to get there tonight!  1) I have committed to meeting a good friend there 2) i have not seen any weight loss in over a week. (good news is that i have not seen any gain either :-)  So my agenda for tonight is move a tv with my FIL, eat dinner, sweat, sleep.

Tuesday, Tuesday:

Tonight is back to the grind of getting to the gym and getting a good sweat in, after a day like today...i am going to need to get some frustration out on the cardio machine.  I think I am also going to start lifting lightly...not heavy weights or anything that will bulk muscle mass but high reps more for toning then anything.

Back to normal life:

I am feeling better today so I am hoping that my whole sickness is behind me.  I should be getting back to the gym tomorrow and then continuing on Thursday and Saturday.  The weekend was good...I fit into a 2x shirt for my Son's birthday party and that felt pretty good.

Busy Friday:

It is going to be a busy Friday. So i am not going to be able to blog later today-_- the bug my wife has, I now have. So the gym is in doubt for the next couple days.

Family Bug:

An instance of the family bug/flu kept me from getting to the gym last night.  I am hoping that we are all feeling better tonight so i can get to the gym.  But if i cannot that is ok because family comes first. I weighed myself at work at it seems i 329-330 but i am in full dress so it might be a little off, the scale jumped between 334 and 335, and i have a sweat shirt, t-shirt, jeans and shoes on, so i am giving it 4-5 pounds.  I have decided to stick with soups for now and mix it up later in the year...when it gets warmer out and soups aren't fun anymore.

Quickie:

Man is it busy at work these days...didn't even have time to blog properly today.  I am getting to the gym tonight but probably after my son goes to bed...I am so close to being able to play Wii fit I can almost taste it.  I am hoping to be there before the end of the month!  Tune in tomorrow to see what my weight is at.

Tuesday:

So I know I should get to the gym tonight and I am still hopeful that i will be able to get there.  But I know that we have some stuff to do around the house tonight and we have to get groceries. I am thinking of changing up my lunch routine.  It is not that I am tired of soups and such...but i am feeling like i should switch it up before i do become tired of it.  I want to stay within the 500 calorie range for my lunches, but that makes it difficult.  I am not the biggest fan of sandwiches unless you put mayo on them...but i am not gonna do that.  So here I am thinking of what can I do that is in the 500 calorie range but is simple to put together and will stay consistently the same calorie wise.

No need to workout today:

Since I got to the gym both Sunday and Saturday...I am not planning on going to the gym tonight.  But I do plan on getting some healthy play time with my son.  I heard on the radio about a weight loss contest for Wink104 and I decided to throw my hat in the ring...I know there is a horribly small chance of my getting selected to participate...but if they would choose me then who knows what it could lead to.  If you are interested in seeing the link it is right here-> http://www.wink104.com/ (it is the top link on their page, Lose to Win; Weight Loss Challenge)

My weight on Saturday was 330 so that means i am down another 2 pounds and I am quickly approaching the 320s... :-)

Good Saturday

Today was a good day. I got to the gym today and was treated to some great news. My weight was at 330 which is down another 2 pounds. I also was able to get 30 good minutes of cardio in. The cherry on it all I was able to connect with my workout buddy again and have some good conversations. A good Saturday indeed!

Thank goodness for the weekend:

I am thankful for weekends now a days.  I am looking forward for this weekend so that i will begin my process of getting to the gym again.  I have not been able to get to the gym recently because of work and stuff going on at home.  My goal is to get stuff straightened out at home and then be able to help maintaining it on a weekly basis which i hope in turn will free up some time to get to the gym!

Almost the Weekend:

So I have been doing pretty good with my snacking...i still get cravings once and awhile...I have been doing really well with my breakfasts and lunch portions.  And i believe i have been doing good with my dinners.  The one thing that i have not been doing well is getting to the Gym consistently. Granted i have still been losing weight not getting there consistently but i know i could be having greater success if i would get there more often. Hopefully God helps keep me motivated and getting myself to the gym. 

It's been a couple of days:

So it has been a couple of days...I actually just got back from a business trip late last night so i was not able to blog at all over the trip...I am hoping that my 3 day trip did not do to much damage to my routine.  But I will see tonight hopefully.  If i have the opportunity to go to the gym i will go...but i am not planning on it...since i have been away for a couple days all i really want to do is hang out with my Wife and Son...A workout can wait one more day.

Workout Thursday:

It is time to get a good sweat in tonight.  I am very hopeful i will get to the gym this evening and I am wondering if i will see any more weight come off in these last two days.  I am still feeling the high of my previous weight loss and i am hoping to ride it to even greater heights.  It actually feels good to have my pants be loose, but right now i am battling with buying more pants (smaller size) or waiting until i lose some more weight.

Got a surprise last night:

My last weigh in was a couple weeks ago...i have not weighed myself during the Christmas Holiday.  So I was a little concerned on what my weight would be...I had images in my head that I had ballooned to over 340 again  or worse 350...Thankfully neither of those was true.  The scale was actually quite nice to me, so nice that i double checked my weight on a different scale this morning just to be sure.  The scale read 332,  which means in December i lost a total of 8 pounds, which i feel is pretty good a holiday month.

In a little over 4 months i have lost a total of 35 pounds.  Which was approximately 9.53% of my total body weight otherwise known as 8.23 pounds per month so going by this math...in another 4 months i should be under 300 and within 8 months i should be around 280...which i would take for and end goal of 1 year.  Seeing this result right now has re-motivated me to get going to the gym and keep chugging along!

Gym Tonight:

I am gonna hit the gym tonight and see what damage the Holidays did to me...I am hoping that it is not to bad.  I am also going to try to stick to a new workout schedule...Tuesday and Thursday nights and Saturday morning.  My hope is to limit the amount of time i am away from home and the family.  This way i can get my work out in and not miss anything at home.

It's been awhile:

It has been awhile for me...I have not been blogging over the Christmas holiday. I know i need to get back on the wagon and get back to losing weight.  So today is back on the wagon day for me!  I haven't weighed myself in a while...heres to the hope that the number is not to bad.
