Did 3.5 miles on the bike tonight. had to push myself a little, was not really into it tonight, but have 2 days worth of temptations (2 family parties) coming up this weekend so I made myself put in the effort.
 
3.5 miles is great!! Becareful at the family functions! Those things can be dieting mine fields!! I'd dreading Thanksgiving and Christmas at my house :eek:.
 
Hi Fenster :)

Good luck at the family party - I'm sure you'll do well, it's more about the conversations then the the food table ;)

Have a great weekend!

Thanks you two, todays party should not be too bad, we are going over to my parents house, I will be fine there.

Sunday is a bithday party for my wifes uncle and cousin. My wifes aunt is a great italian cook and always has a big spread layed out...."oh, please eat more, what else can I get you?, are you sure you got enough?". That one will be a little a little harder, but everyone knows how far I have come and they are all very supportive (I have really great inlaws, I'm lucky), I should be
OK.

Have a great day girls!:D
 
Enjoy your weekend Fenster :)
Have a plan in place, like if you know something you really, really love that your wife's aunt fixes, plan on that and skip the grazing.

Family social functions can be so hard, but it sounds like you have great support behind you!
 
Thanks, we are headed over to my folks in about 30 minutes.

I feeling pretty good today; went for a walk this morning and ended up going a little further than my normal route which is about 1.8 miles, estimating that I went about an extra half mile or so, about 2.3 - 2.5 miles total. Then I worked my butt off building some railings for the front steps.

WOOHOO!, have a good day all, see ya later
 
Well the parties went well, I did eat a little more than usual but the only really "bad" thing I ate was half a piece of apple cake (yum yum).

I did not get a workout in today but that is OK as I worked my butt off most of the day. I took the day off work to do some stuff around the house and got a hole bunch of stuff done. I cleaned the whole garage so I could start building my workout room, plus did a whole boat load of odd jobs that had piled up. Feels good to have that stuff out of the way.

It was a nice long weekend, but I gotta go back to work tomorrow and back to school too as the next class is starting.

Later
 
Hiya Fenny!! Great job at the parties! I don't think I could have resisted cake either. ;) And don't feel bad missing a day exercising - cleaning & house work are a lot more taxing than most people give credit... at least is if you do it right..lol Have a great night!!
 
WOOOHOOO!!!, I did better than I thought this weekend, I was hoping to hold steady and not gain any weight but I actually lost some. That sure does feels good.

Speaking of feeling good. My wife and I were in the kitchen fixing dinner the other night and gave each other a hug and my wife said “hey look at this, I have my hands all the way around you with my hands touching”. I then realized that in 9 years (3 years we dated and 6 that we have been married) that she was never able to really hug me before now. It was a great feeling and a great moment for both of us. We did not say much, just looked at each other and smiled. That sure made my day and also gave me one more reason to continue.

Have a great day everyone.:D
 
Awww!! You guys are so cute!! Congratulations! While numbers are great, it's the little stuff like that, that really brightens your day and puts all the work into perspective. And you're dropping the pounds too! Keep up the great work Fenny!!!!
 
Hey Fenster, I just read through your diary. Boy, you're doing great and what a great way to find out exactly how well you're doing. Thanks for stopping by my diary.
 
Well, I managed to get out to the garage last night and do 2.5 miles on the bike.

Had an interesting thing happen to me at work the other day that made me laugh afterword. I had two seperate incidents when people asked me if I was sick or something, because I looked different and have lost so much weight. One was out of genuine concern while the other was just being nosy and wanted something to talk about. So to the genuine one I explained the situation and talked about what I have changed. And to the nosy one I replied "I have been sick and unhealthy all my life, I am finally just now getting better, thanks for noticing". She just looked at me funny and was not sure what to say. LMAO. I probably should have been nicer, but I know damn well she just wanted something to gossip about.

Have a good day all!
