Friday: Need more work

So I was on the on the elliptical machine this morning and I came to a realization, I don't push myself hard enough. For the past several weeks I have been doing the following routine on the elliptical machine.  30 minutes, valleys at 5 incline and 1 resistance, peaks at 10 incline and 5 resistance averaging 160 steps per minutes.  This was going good for me for a long time. But recently it has not been enough for me to even break into a decent sweat.  So today I pushed the envelope some to see what would cause me to break into a good sweat.  What I found out is that I need a lot more them I am doing now to get a good sweat in.
My new routine will be 30 minutes, valleys at 10 incline and 10 resistance, peaks at 15 incline and 10 resistance averaging 140 steps per minute.  This got me going today and after getting done with the workout it felt really good, which is something I have not felt in a while after working out.

Forgetful thursday

Ok so i had good intentions for this morning but i forgot one important thing.  To set my alarm clock.  I am hoping that maybe i will be able to get to the gym  tonight but most likely i will have to wait until tomorrow.

Tuesday:

Ok so I am back on the workout bandwagon.  I have gotten to the gym in each of the last two mornings and I am feeling pretty good about it.  Two straight days of 400 calories burned has to be good for you right?  I tell myself that.  Now to keep watching what I eat so I can continue on my journey!  I am really looking forward to finally being back in the 200's it has been a really long time since I have been at that weight range!

Friday:

It has been killing me not knowing what my current weight is at.  I am eagerly anticipating my weigh in next Wednesday.  I have been watching what I have eaten and I have really cut back on my snacking.  I am extremely hopeful for a good weekend and some real progress.

To much worrying:

I am going to test my will power in a big way over the next week.  Starting today I am going to not weigh myself until next Wednesday morning.  I have gotten into the habit of weighing myself multiple times in one day and I need to stop that.  I have been floating in the 304 - 306 range for a good two weeks now and I need to jump start my weight loss again.  I am going to hopefully do this by paying more attention to what I am eating for dinner and then snacking on at night.  Hopefully this will get me going again and keep me on the path to 265.  I would really like to be under 300 by the end of October!

Two Straight Gym Days:

First the good.  I have gotten to the gym the last two days.  Now the bad.  I have gotten up extremely late so I have only gotten cardio work of 25 min each day.  But that is OK.  I am going to take the good and try to do better at the bad.  I bet my going to bed at 11:00 each night has something to do with not getting up until 5:30 each day.  If I can adjust my sleep schedule to be a little earlier then maybe I could get up a little earlier.  Here is to hoping.

Finally some new Progress:

So I have had some new progress as of late.  My weight has hit 303, which is a new low for me.  But not all is good, I need to get into a regimented routine for working out.  My drive to get there this week has been really lacking so I have only gotten there once.   I know I need to keep it up to keep the weight loss coming.
