Saturday morning is my regular weigh in day....

299.2 !!!!

I couldnt believe it. I thought It would be next week before I busted 300 because my losses had slowed down. I had very breifly gotten below 300 about 3 years ago and the I proceeded to gain 39 lbs in like 8 months. I will not let that happen again, I will not let that happen again. Now with a sigh of relief I contemplate that I need to get a little distance between me and 300. I dont want one of those occcasional 2lb bouncebacks that would put me back over that milestone
I sure like seeing that 2 at the beginning of my weight better than seeing that 3. I played college football at 246 and somehow that doesnt seem too far away. Here's a great big Texas YEEEE HAWWWW Now someone pass the carrot sticks please.

Great Ivette...Keep it going a few more days and you will start to have really noticable results.

I took my kids to the gym at the high school today. Played one game of 21 with my 13 year old and 3 of his friends (that put a sweat on me, at least Im taller than them-Ha) Then I played a "game" with my 7 year old. It kept me moving for like an hour total, but I think I can still manage a little time on my bike tonight.

Musical quote of the day:
"Hold on Tight to Your Dream"
 
Brawny! Congrats on getting below the 300 mark. Farther and farther away you will get from that number.

I like your idea about trying to get in as much exercise as possible wherever you are. You're definitely on the right track. Keep it up.

Hey I thought I'd stop by and check out your diary.. and wow you've already dropped over 20lbs!! Thats awesome!! And I know how it feels to lose and retain what you lost plus 10 its sucks!! And you exercise A LOT!! Way to go! Keep up the good work!!
 
What a nice Sunday that was! Just about to close it down Just did 33 minutes and 9.03 miles on the ol bike (I had that ipod musical time machine takin me back to my glory days!) Nibbles a little too much today but I think my double exercise should have taken care of that.
I have to go to a convention next weekend and I am trying to mentally prepair for that. It will be a test of my resolve to not fall off this positive wave I have been riding..I think I can I think I can...Hell yeah I can
 
Fear of ass kickin has always been good motivation.
I am of the belief that the world would probably be a better place with a little more ass kickin!
Lord knows I have needed mine kicked a few times to get me in gear.
 
Another good day. Had a day off. Cut firewood this morning then took my boys to guitar center this afternoon. I played a 5000 dollar guitar! It was soooo sweet. I have had cars that didnt cost that much. Needless to say I didnt buy it. I am about to bike. This will be 18 out of 19 days in a row!

I didn't get your message what do you mean by "snowballing"
 
By saying "starting a snowball I mean something like this

Activity leads to results leads to satisfaction leads to more activity.....

Its a snowball of positive energy. We have already done the hard part and thats get a few weeks "on program"

I biked 10.02 miles today in 37 minutes. My stamina is increasing Thats 19 out of 20 days that I have exercised. I go to the Dr. for a checkup on friday. I am optimistic that I will post some improved blood sugars and blood pressures....Even if I dont see this improve yet I am in this for the distance this time! Thanks to all of yall for your encouragement! Now I am off to slosh encouragement in some of yalls threads.

Musical quote of the day

Musical quote for today:
"Don't stop thinkin about tomorrow. Dont stop, it will soon be here"

One day soon we will be looking back at our diaries and our worries and our trials and tribulations... and we will have fulfilled our long sought challenge and obviously have a new challenge.. :biggrinjester:

CUZ AT THE END OF THE JOURNEY WE GONNA :party: :smash:

Have a beautiful day!!! Stay up and proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooohoooooooooooooo good job...

by the way what are you taking classes for and where do you work??
 
Yesterday was a heck of a day! Left the house at 6:40 a.m. and got home at 11:21 p.m.

I had a kind of incomplete victory...Heres the story. I am completing my doctorate. I have been working on it for 3 years and it is partly a reason why I have gotten so heavy. I rush from work to class dont take time to eat right and hit a drive thru on the way home and let me tell yall those drive thru sessions have not been pretty. You guys dont even want to know all the cruddy food I have shoved down my gullett on those drives home.
So...One of my resolutions this year was absolutely no fast food for 2 months, no exceptions..So last night...I DIDNT STOP AT A DRIVE THRU !! Thats the good part. The bad part is I was pretty much where I needed to be calorie wise when I got home but I then nibbled about 500 calories worth of healthy food. I wasnt perfect but I did do significantlt better.
Ivette to answer your question about what I do, I am the superintendent of a school district. But even though I sit behind the big desk now, I am still a teacher in my heart.

Rode bike 30 minutes and 8.4 miles this morning
Will post another musical quote whenever I think one up.
