A new begining to a new me!

Hi Lane, don't to worry too much about not losing one week I'm sure next week your weight will have dropped again. You seem to be doing well by mostly eating right and by getting plenty of exercise.
Try not to beat yourself up when you eat something you shouldn't as this often can lead to even more overeating so just get straight back on track and try to make up for it by eating lighter some other time.

Thank Val, and Tiny. I was really needing that. I was beginning to think no one ever read this. I am feeling better this afternoon. I was really close to getting something bad for lunch, and then didn't. It felt really good to beat that urge, and stay on track. Then I read your kind words of encouragement and I am doing much better!!!!!

Okay, I realize I live in Oregon, and everyone knows it is a rainy state. However........ IT IS FREAKING JUNE!!!!!!!! So much rain lately I can't stand it any more. This is the time of year I want to be outside, walking, golfing, swimming, going to the beach. All I want to do in this weather is sit on the couch and eat.......... FRACK!
In other news, I had a good day yesterday. Stayed on plan, and got in a good walk, even in this rain.
I am looking forward to my weigh in on Friday morning, and really want to see another 2lb drop this week...... Wish me luck!

Were finally getting rain here in Ontario Canada Lane. We need it. Send it over anytime you are sick of it! lol

Have a great weekend and good luck!!
 
You can have all the rain you want Flumes. It has be really weird here this spring. Several days of record breaking rain, then on day of sunny and warm, then another week of rain.
Had a really fun weekend, but not so good on the food front. I didn't do anything really bad, but I know I was not on track for my daily goals. I know this almost any day that I don't keep track of everything I eat. (* I should learn from that)
I did however play 18 holes of golf on Saturday, and carried my clubs and walked the whole 18. It's a really hilly course, and I know I couldn't have done that last year at this time, so that was fun. As a matter of fact, my partners said they would get a cart on the back nine if I wanted, and I said no. I really felt good after the front nine.
Back to work today has been a crap fest. Found out my biggest customer is being mandated by his corp. headquarters back east to start buying everything from the supplier they use back there. There goes about 1/5 of my yearly sales. WOOF! That is going to hurt, as guy who works for a base + commision.

Time to go find more customers to make up that BIG hit to my wallet.

Hope you all are well, and keep fighting the good fight!!!!!

Ok...its my week off and rain is in the forecast almost every day. Not funny Lane!

Sorry to hear bout your customer. What type of products are you in?

And about your weight....just keep with it. Sometimes it takes a while for your body to give up its hard earned savings. I'm sure the walking and golf are helping.
Make sure you drink lots of water and just keep track of those cals.

I should get out tomorrow and hit a few too. (If it doesnt rain again!)

Have a good one!
 
Hey Flumes. I work for Thermo King. We are in the transport refrigeration business. Been here for about 4 years. Before that I worked for Cummins Engine Company for 11 years. I get to know a lot of truckers. Very colorful group of people.
Sorry about the rain, it's actually 75 and partly sunny here today, but the rain starts again tonight. I hate to believe the weather man, but he says 80 and sunny this weekend. I will be back at the Oregon coast to visit my folks, so I am looking forward to some long walks on the beach!

-Lane
 
I know the name. I worked at a truck stop when I was a kid. Yup..colourful is a nice way to say it! lol I met a lot of nice guys, (gals) but there were also alot of miserable sob's.

Anyways, I wish I could help ya out. Unfortunately my contacts are with power and gas turbines.

Hope your diets goin well!
 
hey :) I was checking out your diary and read your story. I've fought my weight my entire life also. I was born in Oregon and lived on the west coast my whole life until 2005 when my husband and I moved to Ohio....where instead of tons of just rain we get tons of snow and rain....what was I thinking? Anyway just wanted to say hi and give my support :) Hoping to make some new friends here since I'm not seeing many familiar faces from when I was here before. Cya! ~Lisa
 
Hey Lisa! Thanks for the kind words. I have lived in the great northwest my whole life, and I love it. I have traveled all over the country, and never found a place I like more than here.
 
Well, it has been a good week so far on the diet front. Eating really well, and getting out to walk as much as I can. I have bumped up my caloric intake this week to see if I can jump start some scale lowering. I know I strugle to eat enough, as I am so busy some times I forget to eat, so I have really tried to eat at least every three hours or so, and made healthy choices.
Hope everyone is well, and keep fighting the good fight!!!

Good morning friends!
Well, yesterday was a good day. Work was good, and I may have found a way to keep the customer I thought I lost. It will cost me a little money, but that is better than loosing them all together!
As for the diet, I was on point yesterday. Ate well, and drank lots of water. I also went to the driving range and hit balls for about an hour. I was feeling really good about my day. Tomorrow is weigh in day for me. (that sounds so official, but really it's just me in the bathroom with my scale.) I am really hoping to see some movement. After last weeks weight in where I didn't go down at all, I need to see a t least a little change. I am going to really pound the water today, and avoid anything salty.
Wish me luck, I will be back tomorrow to let you all know how it went!

-Lane
PS: Dear Oregon rain....... You SUCK!!!!! It's June for crap sake!
 
Hey Lane!

Good luck with the customer and good luck again with the weigh in!

At least you got out to drive a few balls. I made an appointment to get a hair cut today as they were calling for rain....wouldnt you know it, its a beautiful sunny day!!!! Damn! (I only have a small window of me time between kids lunchtime and when they get outta school.)

So gonna head out to the cottage and move some concrete curbs in a bit.
(If you ever want to give up fishing and relaxation, buy a cottage!!!)

Have a great nite and looking forward to your progress!
 
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!
So glad it's Friday. Heading to the coast tomorrow for a little visit with my parents, and some quality beach time. It's been a long week, with tons of ups and downs, so I am happy to have it behind me.
In other news, I have scheduled my Gall bladder surgery for the 1st of July. Should be in and out the same day, but I am still a little stressed. It will be nice to have it done though, as my Gall stones are a HUGE pain, and I am not being figurative.

So, now for the big weigh in news...... I'm sure you are all on pins and needles waiting to see if I got any smaller of the last week. Since last week was no change at all, I was hoping that I would see some good results this week.......

Starting weight 380
2 weeks ago 308
1 week ago 308
Today at 6AM........ Drum role please............. Pause for suspense......... 304!!!!!

BOOYA! Last week was just an anomaly...... Felling good today, and stoked for next week. I just need the strength to be good this week while away from home. I know my wife wants to go to the Rogue Brewery for dinner tomorrow night, so I am getting myself prepared to say no to the beer, and fried yummy stuff, and stick to something good for me..... and maybe a sip of my wife beer!!! :)

Hope everyone is well!!!!!

-Lane
 
Hey Lane, stopped by to see how your weigh in went. That is AWESOME. Course we all know the scale is like one of those negative family members everyone has at least one of...very slow to acknowledge progress even if we've made some but dang quick to point out a set back, lol. Gratz on 4 pounds lost!

Oh and I was looking back in your journal and those photos are breathtaking....made me so homesick. This is the furthest I've ever lived from the ocean. I would love to move back to the west coast but since we'd have no support system but my mom and have to leave all my husband's friends and family....yea I don't see it happening. *goes to buy a lottery ticket* lol
 
What a great weekend at the beach! On a related note, what a horrible weekend at the beach.
First the good. Sun, sun, and more sun. Such nice weather. Very relaxing. Took my parents out to lunch, and visited, and stayed in a really nice hotel, right on the beach. Had a view of the jetty, and the light house form the beck. Loved it.
Now the bad. Way too much booze and food. I ate and ate and ate, it seemed like. I have very little control after I have a couple drinks. For this reason I don't drink very often at all. However, on a warm Saturday, sitting on a deck over looking the bay, with the sun warming my skin, I really needed a Bombay Sapphire and tonic, and then another, and then another... and then fried calamari, and the prime rib and prawns.... with a piece of yummy cake for dessert. And another Bombay Sapphire.....

you get the ugly picture. Then in a fit of depression I have a burger and tots for lunch the next day..... I am glad I don't weigh in every day, because I am sure I have put on 4-5 lbs in two days between the booze, and salt of all the food I ate.
Back at it today and feeling better. I wish I could be better on the weekends, but it seems that I need the little splurges to keep me sane. I just need to keep them under control, which means less Bombay Sapphire! : )

Hope everyone had a great weekend!@!!!!!!

-Lane
 
Well, we did it! YEAAAA! Oregon set a new record for rain fall in June, and it's only the middle of the month. FRACK!
As for other news, the diet has been rocky at best. I have not been feeling good, and when I feel like crap, I trend to be week minded. Pooh!
Always time to turn things around, and I am going to give it my best the rest of the week!
Hope you all are doing better than me!!!!
-Lane
 
Well, i think Karma is giving me a hug today. I stepped on the scale, knowing I would see a climb this week, as my diet has been not good. And it said....... LOW BAT!
No juice for the scale means no bad news for me. I will put new batteries in tomorrow, but I am going to ride the karma till next week, and make sure my diet is ON POINT all week.
As for life stuff, I have been feeling a little under the weather, hence the bad diet week. I am really looking forward to a little sun this next week, but I am not counting on it. It is almost July here in Oregon, and we haven't seen a day in the 80's for temp yet. What a crappy spring it's been, I hope it turns around soon!!!! I need the sun!!!

-Lane
 
Two years have past since my last post. Two years of making excuses and being an idiot. I am thinking about getting things together again, but I am afraid to fail again..... It's such a crappy cycle.....
 
Hey Lane


I too am back here after quite an absence ( 1 year ) and it's hard and it sucks and I felt ashamed but the truth is do we really have a choice? I mean if we want to be happy and healthy then we've gotta do it - the hardest part is getting back on the horse and every time we have to do it again it is harder but it is worth it! I read your first post from 2010 just to find out a bit about you and you wrote something which I plan to adopt as my motto, you wrote "nothing tastes as good as thin feels!" YEAH!! Remember that and remember how good you felt at your wedding.


You can do it - we all can with a little bit of encouragement and support and A LOT of will power.

So support you will definitely get here the people on this forum are great as I'm sure you know and I am finding that it is really helpful for me to be able to report here and get feedback and support and understanding and lets be honest sometimes all we need is a good vent even if no one reads it :)


Good luck, come back, don't think about getting things together because when you think about it too much it starts to look too hard, just make up your mind and do it!


See you around here I hope
