Hello Everyone

Well I'm back from vacation and am happy to say that I really didn't lose or gain any weight at all.(1lb gained)To me it was a small victory in my long road. I had fun Didn't walk around limiting myself or telling myself no pretzel no fries no alcohol. Just used self control and sensibility. I've found that If I tell myself tht I can't have something my body seems to want it. Just can't help but think How much weight I would have lost if I'd stayed home and worked out with Mr. 299. Any way hope everyone is well!!

See YA!!

Sorry I Didn't blog for a few days but I waz hangin out wih my nwew niece. Days got late so never made it on. Well my last weigh in befoe vaction was 265. Started at 275. If It wasnt for rob I wou ld still be 275. I just want to come home atleast the same weight I left if not lighter. I WILL NOT Gain any weight over vaction because I worked way too hard to get where I'm at right this minute. I hope eveybody has a great week, Rob keep me in mind during aerobics. I hope U still go. if not we'll whoop ass when I get home.

Back in the Saddle

Things seem to be getting easier everyday. Although the Aerobics this morning were quite the feat, My body seems to be getting used to getting up and going to the gym. I'm noticing that my body isn't as sore is it was the first couple days. Seems to be recovering a little faster. Got a big trip coming up this weekend so I'm trying to get a good week of fitness in to carry my momentum into next week. The good thing is the hotel has a gym so for the first time in my life I'll be utilizing that. Another good thing is that my wife is reallly supporting me and is helping me find ways to better my situation and make things easier for me to stick to the program. It's so much easier to accomplish my goals when I've got two people focusing on them, cause I'm not easily motivated. Thats why we make one hell of a team. Well hope everyone is well and life is good.

Jack N' Me

Well gotta funny story for you so tell me if there is any logic to it or just a coincidence. Went out with rob last night to dinner then bowling. Only consumed 1014 calories in food so I could save some calories for a little Jack Daniels. Well I consumed the rest of my daily colories in liquor! Thats about 1000 calories. Did my colorie count analyzer and it gave me an A for the day. Make sence? I must say I feel good today in the sence that my body doesn't feel like I went out and ate a ton of junk food. Guess my weigh in will tell the tale in the a.m. Are calories just calories? are some better/worse than others? Do tell!

This is how I feel today. Although I stuck to my diet I guess its just because I didn't go to the gym yet. Took the dogs for a walk but guess its just one of those days. Weekends are tough for me cause i'm used to working so much that when i'm not I don't know what to do with myself. Anyway I'm going to find something to do even if it's wrong.

One Day at A Time

Man it's tuff sitting next to your work partner in a van when he's eating a triple from wendy's. Just the smell alone makes me hungry. Just realized that stuff will never be for me again if I want to reach my goals. Gonna miss it but there is no food that tastes as good as it feels to be in shape.

Thank You!!!

Thanks everyone for all the encouraging words and the welcome to the new group. I hope I can be as strong and determined as all of you. Actions do speak louder than words and I think its time I comitted to something other than laziness. Bought a pedometer the other day and trying to atleast walk more than I did the days before. Probably would be a little easier if rob the destroyer would go a little easier on me :). Anyway thanks again and I will be talking to all of you tomorrow.

Well this is the first day to my new recovery over the disease of obesity. What a word to hear out of your doctors mouth. Even though I don't look it in my eyes the scale don't lie. Thanks to my cousin rob I am joining the coalition of F.A.T. and going to begin my road to health and well being again.
