Cannon's Journal

Yeah, I'm up, dressed, showered and shaved by 5:50 to try and get in a few hours of work before they get here. I'm not too worried about overdoing it at the gym, but it just feels like the first really hopeful and helpful thing I've done to lose weight since early Spring when I started adding in a ton of walking. After losing weight for awhile your body gets stagnant and the one thing you can do is to make further changes. This one seems like a good one.

I hear ya - I think Im at that stagnant point:) I think I decided to cancel my Curves membershipa nd join a real gym where I can get a trainer and were I can join classes available - even I am brave enough to join Fitness World I can even go to water areobics and such and it is included in my membership...

Have a great work out and a great day...
 
Hi Cannon. That's great you're so up on the gym. I think you're right -- this will be a big difference for you.

This was very inspiring to me! I definitely reached that stagnant point over the last couple of weeks, but now I'm really working at regaining that zeal I felt when I first started. That's how I look at you - like you've found a way to maintain that beginner's zealous attitude even after losing so much weight. You're awesome! :hug2:
 
Howdy Cannon,
"A TON OF WALKING" is the best way to go for weightloss!!
I am going to add more to so the weight will start coming off again.
Glad the gym is working out,have a gr8 day can't wait to see more pics
when ya reach your goals tammy
 
I have had this diary since last June and I have never been more pissed in that time than I am right now. They were working on putting in windows today and they were working from 9 to 9. They trashed this place. I have my big ugly old air conditioning in the middle of the floor. I have sawdust all over my bed and computer. I think they broke my IPOD. I have about 10 hours of cleanup and I'm going to figure how to rig a sheet up over my window so I can at least have some privacy to change and to sleep. I am livid.
 
OK I think I got the computer working, but I am still beyond pissed. This is really 2 weeks I've had to give up to this shit. I wish there was a punching bag at our gym. I need to kick the stuffing out of a heavy bag. I'm such a patient and easy going person too.

On a slightly more serious note. I was really sorry to hear about the tragedy in Minneapolis today. I know we took that bridge several times going back and forth on our trip. My problems are small when I think of those families who still don't know if their loved ones survived, but I am still extremely pissed. That's pretty shallow I know, but that's how I feel right now.
 
Working out actually helped. I've never been the type of emotional eater who would go and get 2 dozen doughnuts to feel better about the situation, but I'm happy that a good night's sleep and working out for an hour with my trainer was enough to get me in a better mood.
 
Joe, you're a sweet and patient person--even in the midst of your misery, you still think of the tragedy in Minneapolis. I hope the gym proves to jump-kick your weight loss again! :hug2:
 
you really are amazing cannon :) you're not shallow for being angry. small things is what makes us alive and feel life. unfortunately tragedies happen...i guess they really show us how meaningful every moment is :)
glad you enjoyed your hour with the trainer. soon you'll be a true fitness addict :)
 
Howdy Cannon,
Sorry about your crappy day I hope today is much better!Did you get your IPOD fixed? I am a BAD emotional eater BUT whats weird when I get upset I am not eating for the heck of it,my tummy actually growles and I eat something and still don't feel full then that leads to more food and more weight gain! Taking a nice walk helps with stress and sleep.Well hope today is a better day Tammy
 
I'm sorry to hear about your messy situation. You have every right to be livid! I'm sure I would be. Hopefully things will be normal again soon. Until then, use some of that sawdust to make a make-shift punching bag out of a pillowcase. :)
 
If I was you hun I would be having a WORD to these workmen and be telling them how they will be getting the cleaning bill and the bill for all the breakages (usually puts the wind up them enough to be more careful). Congratulations on your workouts you seem to be doing terrific, you’re always an inspiration to me love and because of you I have started up a group of girls who will be coming over once a week to work out with a personal trainer. I will let you no how it works out.
 
Thanks for visiting ladies, you've really cheered me up. Rose, I'm very flattered. This trainer was a pretty awesome thing to do for myself.
 
it is good to see you doing well with your trainer. sorry to hear about your bad day, i hope things improve soon.

I got up early this morning and today I'm really going to try and get a lot done. I hope that I succeed. Have had some tummy issues lately, but not too horrible.
 
Cannon, I hope your day will be as profitable as possible!
I'm sorry to hear about your tummy issues I hope you'll be ok soon.

Thanks for stopping by my diary!
 
hOWDY! :) Hope things are better! I can relate to your anger over the mess at your home. We had our roof re-done last year....UGH! We had to keep plastic over all of our furniture for two weeks and the process left a constant mess in our house and garage, patio, walkways, etc.....*shudder*
