So I am back in my office today after over a week out....
Whoever said to be careful what you wish for was so darn right....

I have decided that I need to get over my May funk. It is almost too late in the month to decide this but oh well. I need to start watching food- just watching it, nothing more- and really concentrating on reducing my intake.
I have been so concerned about a running injury that I have been eating more to compensate- guess what? I have a running injury now anyway...

I need to reduce the running I am doing- none for this week. *sigh* elliptical it is.... I need to remember that 1/1/08 I was a 265 lb chain smoking out of shape SOB and I have not tuned into a marathoner. What I can do is relatively impressive but not so much- I cannot expect to run 20 miles or so a week and not get injured, especially at the standards I have set for myself.

So- I am trying to get over this hump. the 225 hump/barrier/plateau/pain in the ass weight will need to go away. I have roughly 1 1/2 weeks to get to 222 or so. I need to get my eating in gear and make this happen.

I control me and only I can make this happen.

Good morning all.:D

Morning dear :)

In yet another example of our weird twin-ness, I hit a really frustrating plateau at the same weight, the 225 mark. It lasted for three or four weeks, pissed me the hell off and then I broke through it. I had another one at the 200 lb mark, same thing. The last one was at the 187 mark or so. I guess my body just likes to rest.

You'll get there, refocusing will probably help also.

Glad to see you back, missed ya!

You have made remarkable progress in a very short time and the amount of progress you have made is impressive. That's something else you need to remember. :p

And good morning to you, too, Sunshine. :D

Sunshine I am not this morning. Out of the office for a week and a half- while desirable- means Brian is one busy SOB this morning.....

I know the progress was been good- remarkable is a bit of a stretch- and this is what I was saying earlier about the big picture.
I need to see it. I think I kind of am but thank you for the perspective.

Remarkable is not stretching it - you stopped smoking, which is a hard enough task - and you lost weight, got healthier, stuck with an exercise routine. All this in what? A bit less than 5 months? Pretty remarkable if you ask me. Don't argue. I win. :p

And you're welcome. :)

The only reason I do not consider it remarkable is because it has all come to a screeching halt the last few weeks. I am still doing the right things I am just eating in larger quantities- that needs to stop.
Remarkabloe would be my initial goal of 215 by 6/11...

You know I cannot accept that....
I am the one that is never wrong- except for that one time I thought I was mistaken....:D

Blah, blah, eye of the beholder and all that jazz. Still pretty damn good progress, darlin.

It must be tough not being able to accept reality. :p

Ha ha.:D
That is like the second time in a month I have gotten you in trouble.:D

Not going to be able to hang out with me anymore- I am a bad influence...

or is that the other way around......

Jeld-wen windows and doors doesn't like me anymore:D.
Actually they told my boss that Brian is a pain in the ass. My boss then gave me a $25 gift card for making a company do things they didn't want to do.:D

This is after all Minnesota Home Depots literally groaned on a CC yesterday when I was introduced as the PM for a upcoming project.:D

They love to hate me up there- I have a reputation as an asshole.:D
 
about2loseit;445285 Brian - Me? A bad influence? I have no idea what you are talking about. :Angel_anim: Are you off your meds again?? :willy_nilly:[/QUOTE said:
