Fensters Diary

Howdy Fenny!!! Some people are strange - they look at you funny when you are big and they look at you funny when you work to fix the problem. I was talking to my sister last night about everything and she was beyond uninterested and rolled her eyes at me!! But she's the same one who said that the weight was unhealthy blah blah blah...

2.5 miles if fabulous!! Keep up the great work!!
 
Great response Fenster to the nosy one. Working in school I'm used to all these annoying little questions from teachers. Have a great week.

Ya, I can imagine. I don't mind the attention as long as it is positive, but I have no time for people who just like to gossip about negative things.


Finally got a walk in yesterday after a weekend of continual rain/snow. Felt good to get some fresh air. I won't be doing much more walking outside because of the weather conditions so I need to plan other activities.

My new workout room that I am building is coming along nicely. It is a small room of 9' by 10' inside my garage. I don't have space in my small house to put equipment so the workout room will be in the garage. I have the walls up and the door put in place, next I will be putting up the sheating on the inside and running some electric for a couple more outlets that I want to install.

Have a good day all.
 
It's great that you have your own gym :D And think of all the calories you're burning building it ;)

I loved reading your NSV about your wife and the hug! My daughter (age 10) just did that to me not so long ago - she said she's never been able to give me a REAL hug before! Those moments are huge!!

Keep it up!

Yes they are M2M, some of the little things are the most important.

Well its been a few days since I have gotten the chance to get on and update my journal (I am going to try to catch up with a bunch of your journals this weekend), but overall I had a very good week.

I kicked Halloweens A$$, I did not have one piece of candy or junk food at all, HOOOWOOOO!!! Had a good time taking my 3 year old around trick or treating though.

My weight loss has slowed down some lately. I believe mostly in part to my activity level being lower. I went for a couple small walks this week but not as much as usual and spent no time on the bike or with the weights. But, still lost some so I am happy.

Going to try to work on the "gym" room this weekend. The sooner I get that done the sooner I can work out with out freezing.

Have a good day all.

Yep, it was very nice


Had a pretty good weekend, ate well and got in a little exercise. I did not manage to get any work done on the garage "gym" though, oh well, maybe this week or next weekend.:D

Thanks Pequin, I am doing very well and am having a great week, hope you are too. :) I read in your journal about your date but did not have time to comment as I was at work. Good for you putting yourself out there, that takes guts. Just remember that the more social interaction you have the better and more comfortable you will get at it, so line those boys up.:D :D

Hi willBsexySoon and welcome, I will check out your journal when I get a minute, thanks for stopping by mine. Yep, I have lost a lot, but I had a lot to lose. Have a great day and stay strong.
 
Mornin Fenny!!! :D:D
Thanks for the advice. Guess the social stuff is just like the weight.. got to get used to the new lifestyle and hiding from it isn't going to make it better.

Have a great day!! :D:D:D

Very true and you can handle it. Look how far you have come. Have a great day.


Today was weigh-in day for me and it was a good one. WOOHOO!!! got into the 270's (278). I've lost 80lbs. from my starting weight and 87 from my heaviest. For some reason, and I don't know why, this was a big milestone for me to be in the 270's. There is nothing about it that means anything that I can think of but for some reason it matters, LOL. Anyway, I am going to be pushing to break the 100 pounds lost mark by christmas. Thats 100 pounds from my starting weight not my heaviest so I have 20 pound to go.

Have a great day all.
 
Its been a busy week and I have not had much time to post updates but it was a pretty good week overall. It was not my best week as far as eating right goes, but I only slipped up a little and still lost some wieght so I am happy.

Now that I have lost a good amount I have decided to try my hand at playing ice hockey again. It is just a pickup game once or twice a week, nothing to serious and it is non-checking. I have not played or even skated much in the last 13 years so it will be very interesting to see how it goes. I am a little nervous but I figure I wiegh less and I am in better shape now than I was when I played 13 - 14 years ago so I am going to give it a try.

Have a great weekend everyone and keep up the good work.
 
Congrats on the weighloss this week!! Woohoo!
I slipped badly this week.. stupid scale...lol

Thanks Pequin and you hang in there, remember it's a marathon not a sprint. Put this week and all its slips behind you since there in nothing you can do about them now and no amount of guilt or regret will change anything. Look forward to next week which you can control and make successful. Have a good one. Nice new avatar by the way.
 
Look out !! Ulf Samuelson returns !!

Keep on grindin' Fenster. Good for you on getting closer to the century mark ;)

LMAO! not quite ready for the pros just yet, lol.

Thanks T2, I am really looking forward to hitting the 100 pound mark, that will be a fine day indeed.
 
I know why getting into the 270s was a big deal for you...COS IT'S A BIG DEAL!! lol Anytime you move down a weight range, you've got something HUGE to be proud of!!! What an accomplishment! And 80lbs so far! You are doing amazing!!! I wish I could have that kind of progress behind me!
