Still Gym Hunting:

I am still hunting for a gym and i am slightly annoyed that I cannot find any alternatives to my current gym within a 15 mile radius.  After going to see PlanetFitness it is going to be hard to go back to my current gym even if i am forced to.  It is just night and day difference...a good comparison would be trading in a Ugo for a Ferrari. And then having to go back to the Ugo...that isn't much fun.

Gym Hunting:

Tonight I go gym hunting.  I decided to not renew my gym membership at my current gym.  44.50 seems like an awful lot to pay to only run on a cardio machine and do some lifting.  So i began looking around and i think i found a fit at planetfitness.  They have plans that are 10 bucks per month and only 39 bucks up front. So for the first month i pay more...(49 bucks) but after that i pay less, 25.50 less....it seems like a good idea to me.
Not all of it is positive though.  I won't be able to workout with my good friend and i will miss that dearly.  I hope that one day we get a planet fitness in our home town...that would be great.

P.S. Planet fitness has no commitments so if something opens up that is better I am free to jump on that if I want to.

Friday:

Man I have been lazy with my posts.  I did get to the gym this week...Tuesday actually.  And i am expecting to get back there again either tonight or Saturday morning.  We have been pretty busy at work these days...which is a good thing...but i still need to stay committed to my blog.  I still am sitting around 330 but I think I am about to begin my downward trend again.
My gym membership is up at the end of the month...I might look for other options that are available since the gym is $45.00 plus a month.  So I am going to see if there is cheaper option available.

Workout Tuesday:

Tonight is workout Tuesday, I have a church meeting at 7:00 but hopefully this does not go to long and i am able to get to the gym afterwards.  I really need to get a good sweat in and the gym is a really good place to do it.
And to those who will see this on Facebook and are thinking that I thought he gave up Facebook for lent...Yeah i still did but my RSS feed is set up to pull over my blog automatically, and i don't see a point in changing that.

The end of Valentines Day:

Valentines Day is over and i believe i am none the worse for it.  We went out for a special dinner and had a blast.  the good news is that i was able to get to the gym on Sunday and get a good workout in.  So the weekend shouldn't hurt me to much.  My weight on Saturday was a shade over 328 so i am hoping that this is the beginning of my continual weight loss.  I have lost 39 pounds so far and i am hoping for 40 real soon.

End of the Snow:

So the blizzard of 2010 is officially over and it is now back to normal life.  I am going to get to the gym tonight and get a really good sweat in.  I am looking forward for warmer weather so that i can enjoy the outside with my son.  But that isn't going to happen any day soon since we have 3 feet of snow in our yard.

Snowy Tuesday:

Well so much for the snowstorm being over on Saturday, we are suppose to get up to 12 - 14 inches tonight.  So I doubt i am going to be able to get to the gym.  Luckily I will get the honor of shoveling snow again tomorrow morning.

Superbowl weekend:

This weekend was pretty good. We got around 18 - 20 inches of snow so shoveling was my workout on Saturday, I got to the gym on Sunday and got a good workout in 30 minutes of sweat.  I also weighed my self and i tipped the scales at just under 330...but my weight is still fluxuating between 329 and 332...but for now i am happy with 37 pounds.  I still need to watch my weekends and my dinner proportions but everything so far is gong pretty good.

Crazy week:

So this has been one of those weeks...we have had stuff going every night!  So i have not been able to make it to the gym...hopefully the Snow this weekend is not as bad as everyone thinks it will be and I'll be able to make it to the gym at least on Saturday.

Get to the GYM Derek; Day 2

Ok so i didn't get to the gym last night, forgot we had a pretty important meeting that i could not miss out on.  so i am hopefully delaying this till only today and that i will get to the gym tonight.

Get to the Gym, Derek!

Tonight, I am going to try my best to get to the gym. I need to get some cardio in so that i can continue my downward spiral of weight loss.  I redid my daily caloric needs and it tells me for continued weight loss i need 2788 calories per day.  500 for breakfast, 500 for lunch, and 1788 for dinner.  I am going to try to match that more closely then i have been.  I fear that my metabolism is shutting down a little bit and that I need more calories daily to keep my body burning calories.  Breakfasts will be the traditional bowl of cereal...that will come close to 500 calories as i can. Lunch will continue to be my soup routine with accessories, which should clock in at 400 calories and a snack mid afternoon around 60 calories. (I have been neglecting this snack) Dinner...will continue to be whatever is on the Bostick Diner Menu.

Good weekend:

I had a pretty good weekend.  I got to the gym on Saturday and worked out really good. When i weighed in i was at an even 330 which is down another 2 pounds from my unexpected gain of a couple nights ago.  Now i need to stay more consistent in my workout and to keep my eating habits more streamlined as well.
I definitely want to keep these good vibes going.
