Cannon's Journal

well, alternatively, you could just shop for the clothes u will fit into? I bought a pair of khakis that were on sale recently... I didn't fit into them just yet but the size up was WAY too loose.

then again, this kinda mentality is the shopper in me talking. :rolleyes: :D

outta curiousity Cannon, where do you buy your clothes?
I'll be visiting the states soon and I want to buy some clothes for my bf to send to him cause he's a big guy. And they don't have clothes in his size sometimes where he's from. Any suggestions?
 
I usually shop at Casual Male's big and tall shop or an independent shop called Threads. Threads is dowdier, but Casual Male is a bit too George Forman sometimes. They do have some fairly stylish things there too though. The problem with buying clothes I will fit into is I will need to start wearing them to work in a week and if I show up in just my boxer briefs to teach a class full of 7th graders, well you'll all be able to say you knew me when. So I'm trying to just get buy until I can really go crazy :)
 
hello Cannon,
i am newish to the site and thought i would say hello. keep up the good work in loosing the weight.

we are all rooting for each other
 
Good morning! Thanks for stopping by my diary. I was laughing just now reading about "She left me" and that you have a scale lady. My scale is known as Big Daddy. haha

How is teaching going? I loved my 7th grade year, what a blast. I hope you have a great healthy day today!
 
Thanks for stopping by New Mom and Miss Jelly Belly.

Today is a very difficult day for me. I have to eat out not once, but twice. For breakfast I had a 4 egg white omelette no cheese with onions and mushrooms and a few hashbrowns, but I left most. I had two pancakes as well without syrup (not a diet just don't like syrup) and a small OJ. Dinner is at Benigan's so I'm sure I can find something light, but its tough to do two in one day.
 
Show Weight

Its kind of sad, but I discovered my new gym shoes weigh .8 pounds more than my old ones. What this means is I have to subtract .8 from my calorie readings. Now at some point I have planned on weighing in my socks. I figure I can lose a couple of pounds some week when I really want to. However, that wouldn't be fair right now with the boy vs girl challenge going on. So, for the foreseeable future I will just have to subtract .8 from my scale weight. Sometimes life is complicated.

I don't know why, but that made me laugh so hard.

Cannon, you are supposed to weigh nekkid!

Sounds like you are enjoying your last week off. Good luck going back to school. Don't forget to pack healthy lunches! Congrats on the 30lb mark.
 
Didn't have a great dinner. I went to Bennigans and I tried to be healthy. I got a lite beer and had a water with it, but when my friend asked me if I wanted to get an appetizer I said sure and we got brocoli bites. Now this wouldn't have been too bad if my entree wasn't bad. I got a Kilkenny Chicken salad and that is chicken strips, honey mustard, eggs, cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato. I didn't reallize there was that much egg or that there was any bacon. I wound up eating about a third of the salad, but I had a lot more calories than I was expecting. Oh well, it was a fun night and tomorrow I get back on the wagon
 
Not a great week dietwise, but not horrible. Yesterday skewed thing as did the huge glass of water I had upon waking up. I'm poised for a big weight loss this week coming up.
 
Common Cannon, I'm cheering for you!!!!!! You can so do this. Now taht you got the "eating out" out of the way, next week you can focus on preparing your own foods. No eating out next week. Save your Money and if you eat healthy all next week then reward yourself after.

And drink all your WATER:D Have a Great Dya and i'll be back to check on you. ;)
 
Well I ate well yesterday and now I'm off to get gas. I think I'll eat subway for lunch. Not a big fan compared to other sandwich places, but they're closer. Saturdays are usually a challenge for me. We'll see.
 
cannon you can do this
I always weight with my shoes off and i try to wear the same cloths to weigh
just remmeber if you eatout remember portion control you left several things not finished that is good
 
I go to subway once in awhile and as long as you stay away from the mayo and pounds of cheese and grab some baked chips over the norm and stay away from the full on cola its not that bad. when your done you can go to i think its www.subway.com you can see the damage.
 
I have been getting a footlong roast chicken on honey oat with no cheese, just lettuce, tomato, green peppers, and onions. However, today I learned that the Southwest sauce I've been using instead of mayo adds 200 calories to the sandwich. Mayo is 240. I think I'm switching to honey mustard. Its all about being in control and doing what I need to to lose weight. As long as I remember that I'll get there--it's more a question of when than if.
 
cannon thats exactly what you have to do. you have lost so much your doing great. even on bad days you know thats the difference, you know what is good and bad. keep it up and soon you will be lighter than me......
 
Feeling a bit bad today. On the whole time on my diet last night felt like the first night I was out of control. I was with my friends and got socializing and munched while socializing and munched and munched. The one thing I am happy about is how sick it makes me. When I eat that much in chips or pretzels I get seriously sick now. It reminds me and it let's me know I've changed my body. You're right Lee, I know what's good and bad. I'm not done changing my behaviors and I'm not giving up on losing weight.
 
gah take away sandwiches are awful sometimes, you'd never think they'd be so much calories. I usually allow for about 700 for a foot baguette on tuna mayo or something like that. There are two bakers near my work and one is rank and the other does these sandwiches. They are lovely and reasonably priced so that's what I get but I have to make sure I get them on an exercise day.:D Hope this week goes a little better for you, I'm hoping to step up a bit better as well.:)
 
Hey Cannon! I see you struggle with weekends too. Dining out is a weakness of mine and I have a hard time even loooking at the leaner choices. At least you didn't lick your plates and only ate a portion of the meals. Good for you. My weekend wasn't so great, but not as bad as it could have been. We'll get there soon enough and change our lifestyles for the better. One day at a time.
 
Hey Cannon,

I hope you feel better soon. I sorry about you little slip-up, but sure I'll see you back in the game in no time:) I'll see you around...
