Cannon's Journal

yeah that new AV of yours makes you look really young :)

As for the cold, well ill give you some of the stinkin heat here! its sweltering!
 
I'm a bit depressed today because I see that all that extra holiday weight isn't going to be off until sometime in February at the earliest. I'm the bright side, my response is to redouble my efforts, not to give up.

:hurray: Thats the attitude that will overcome the plateau!Love the new "SMILEY" avtar!Tammy
 
Dear Cannon, Hey, you've been in a pattern of losing for a long time and you will continue to do so. I just noticed that you've lost nearly a hundred pounds!

Has walking been your main form of exercise? Would you say walking has been good for you? I'm asking becasue it seems like that's all I do to the exclusion of resistance training, except for what I get in yoga. Anyway, its something I can do a lot of and I seem to return to it.
 
Thanks Tammy--Great avatar by the way.

Kelly, walking became my main form of exercise last year between March and July. Now I'm moving onto the gym, but I do want to include some walking in the routine when the weather gets nice again--not for the exercise as much as because it can be darn relaxing.
 
Hey, sorry you're feeling down about the holiday weight. It's only the third week of the year so don't worry too much about it.

How's the weight training coming?

Gotta agree with this; I find that when I'm out in the fresh air, (and preferable sunshine), it takes away my fatigue and depression somewhat, when I'm having a down day. I love that feeling.
 
Stick with it Joe! Never give up! Hell, I lost all the weight I wanted (pretty much) and gained it all back, and am losing it again....I'm trying, I'm making sure I don't just throw in the towel and spiral out of control. You have come too far to even THINK about that!! :) Good luck! Hope you can get your walks in soon.

Hey there handsome - I love the av by the way...You wont give up you will just work harder and harder as always - Im still plugging along - Ive lost and regained and lost and reagained the same weight for awhile now - which sucks but Im determind to do it this time...and I know you are too!!!
 
Thanks for the support folks :) I'm definitely redoubling my efforts--not quitting. I made it to the gym again today and I am trying to cut out some of the things that are holding me back. I was a little irritated because I saw my weight up 4 pounds from the weekend--and I was good on the weekend!! It may have been a momentary blip because I'm down below that. Currently my weight is at 389. I went off my routine for about two months and saw a really scary number on the scale. I've lost about 20 pounds in 3 weeks. I know a lot was water weight, but I want to start losing again. I'm going to hit the diaries today or tomorrow. Its a crazy week as we have report cards due.
 
i think many of us had bad periods in the past few months. i know i let myself down but i'm not planning on doing it again. i really want to lose this weight and i know you do too :) great for hitting the gym :D and for redoubling your efforts.
 
Ok folkses, I'm sorry that I've been away, but I just got busy. I didn't eat as well as I should have this weekend, but I had fun and I still find myself about 8 pounds up from where I wanted to be by Australia Day. The good news is I am still losing fast and I've gotten over that gym block. The bad news is I wanted to get a replacement for my trainer and the other one I thought might be OK just went through a divorce and had to go get a real job. That brings us down to two trainers at the gym--the one I know I don't like and the guy that I've never seen, but whose picture rubs me the wrong way. It looks like I may be on my own.
 
I have been talking to Steve and I may see if he can give me a program, but it is a bit more difficult for somebody to do that who isn't there with you. I could switch gyms, but this one is just way too convenient. It makes it a lot easier to go workout. The next closest gym is a 25 minute drive so I can add 45 minutes onto my workout time and I know that I'll be less diligent working out. No workout this morning for me--we had 10 inches of snow last night and another 6 are coming. It seems like every school in our County is off except the Chicago Public Schools. I got to work early today so I thought I'd pop on the old diary.
 
He Joe that is like with us here in Greater Vancouver...everyone around us shuts down but where I am in Surrey...LOL...Surrey never shuts down - I alawys need to go to work the kids always have school...when everyone else has snow days!!!
 
Bummer about the no snow day.

It's good to see that you have made the progress of moving back to the gym, regardless of the trainer issues. You have also lost a nice amount of weight lately too. Congratulations on getting going again.
 
Hey, I haven't gone away I've just been a bit short on time. I was raised Catholic and Lent started yesterday. It is traditional to give up something--I'm giving up weighing myself. For the next 40 days I'm going to work on taking things one bite at a time instead of taking the long view. I hope I can use my lack of weighing in to push myself a bit.
