Cannon's Journal

Howdy Cannon, Way to go on the maintaining,I am so trying to do that right now but what I have been eating latley has been so bad that my 8-10 miles on my stationaty bike isn't doing damage control lol BUHHUMBUG I say lol anyway HAPPY HOLIDAYS and 2008 WE WILL KICK SOME POUNDAGE AWAY FOR GOOD!****HUGGS***TAMMY
 
I think if I allow myself my full 3131 calories I can cut myself off. If I try and keep my calories too low, I'm just going to bust right through the barrier. Its sort of the riot control theory of weight loss.
 
Hey, Cannon. I took some time off the internet, which is why I haven't been around.

Anyway, happy winter break. I hope you have a relaxing, stress-free vacation.

(I wish I got to consume over 3,000 calories a day. Maybe when I start training for a marathon I'll be able to do that!)

-Tamara

The food has been a bit bad lately. I'm going to set a goal of total maintenance mode until January 3rd. At that point, I will go back to trying to lose.

Good plan. I have gained back ten that I lost. Hello after a long time. Boy, your work sounds stressful. I totally lose my patience with my out of control bipolar friends because I think they are irresponsible and probably not complying with treatment. Or I feel sorry for them because I think they haven't suffered enough yet to want to get better. In the meantime, they damage relationships.

Anyway CAnnon, Season's Greetings to you.

I hope to get reinspired with the forum like I did this time last year. Even just to get back to 180, ten pounds, I would be more comfortable. How's it going with you?
 
Hi Cannon. I'm a bit early for your return, but it must be time to start getting this place aired out and ready for you

and I wanted to make sure and wish you a wonderful, successful 2008!
 
Happy New Year Joe - Let's kick ass this year!!! I am going to the gym twice a week with my male co-worker - ha ha ha...who would have thought - guarenteed every Tues and Wednes night:)

Ive been misisng you and wishing you the best:)!!!
 
Hello!!!

Its been awhile hasn't it? I've posted some new pictures in my Before and After section. I haven't really watched what I ate this holiday. I should have done better, but I made the choice and I'm living with it. I set January 3rd as my day to revamp because I go back to school January 7th and I don't want to complicate things by adding lots of stress to the beginning of eating healthy again. I've made a lot of decisions regarding my weight and my life and in 2009 I'm here to kick ass and chew gum and I don't have any gum.

One thing that happenned over break is a friend of mine who I have mentioned before was featured on a segment on the local news. Gina is a woman I know who is in her mid-30s. She's very attractive, runs marathons, has a PHD in some sort of super-science and has identified some genome or another. She's got a great sense of humor and is generally one of the funnest people who has come into my life in recent years. Now before any of you matchmakers get your hopes up she's married and her husband is one of my best friends who has equally amazing qualities. The thing about Gina is she was on the news because at one time she was over 200 pounds. She started eating healthier and she started running and she's doing great. She loves good beer and she loves food. She eats the way I enjoy eating. Anyway, I never knew that she had battled her own weight demons. Just knowing that one of my friends has battled this and one drives home that I too am going to kick this thing.

I will be hitting diaries if not today than soon. I appreciate everybody who commented in my absence and posted on my before and after pictures. I want to put some cruise pictures up here soon too. Let's make 2008 the year of kicking ass with our weight.
 
That's so inspiring about Gina. I am interested to see how you will progress this year. Hey, we're less than we were last year at this time.

Starting over with my exercise program. Hard work. Sweaty. Walk/jogging a bit.

Are you going to be going to the gym or what? Thank God we can always exercise to make ourselves feel better. It doesn't take long. And it feels good once you get the holiday treats out of your system and get back to eating better. Happy New Year. Kelly
 
So I find myself feeling a bit sorry for myself this morning. I got up early to hit the gym and I was feeling a bit gross so I decided to shower first. That's when I discovered there is no hot water--no I don't mean the hot water is cold. I mean there is no hot water. I think the pipe has frozen. This definitely complicates matters for me. Brrr, its cold here.
 
January 26th of last year I was able to end the damage I did over the holidays. This year my goal is to beat that date. No promises, but I was lax with myself for some time. I will be back at the gym this weekend and that's one component I didn't have last January.
 
So good to see you back around here!

What a great story about your friend Gina! It's always nice to have someone who can relate and understand!

Once you set your mind to it, you will be back to kicking butt! 2008 will be a great year for all of us!

PS - I'm jealous. We went back to school yesterday!
