Garn's weight loss diary

Thanks Minus. This weekends workout was:

Friday: Bowling with my work and then a couple hours of tennis with my wife.
Saturday: 1.5 hour bike ride up the canyon with my family. I got to pull the 4 year old with the bike trailer.
 
Wow, productive weekend with the exercise. Sounds like you had fun too!

Happy friggin Monday. Do you sense my enthusiasm??
 
Today's workout:

They do a cardio step class here at work. There was a new teacher today...holy freaking crap I thought I was going to die. 60 minutes of cardio like that should start to work wonders.
 
Yesterday I was still exhausted from the step class on Monday, that and I am working longer days, but I still got away to lift weights. Today I am doing a "Pump" class.
 
Hey Amster how goes it. I was travelling this weekend. Getting back on the plan to day. You need to fix your gmail.
 
Hey, how was your trip?? Good Labor Day??

Gmail is permanently down at work. The firm has now blocked all personal forms of email and blogging. We now only have access to pertinent sites. Bummer huh? Some new policy...
 
It has been a while since I updated. I went to Seattle for a football game, and came home without gaining!!!! Last weekend we went shopping, and although I have not lost in a while I was very encouraged by the results. When I started this journey I wore 42" waste in pants and XXL shirts. Friday I purchased my first pair of 34" jeans and I fit into a Large for my shirts.

Congratulations! See, the working out makes a HUGE difference. Have you taken measurements yet?

I've been home the past couple days with strep throat so I haven't got to chat with ya. I'll be back tomorrow though. The doc has me on penicillin (sp?) and has referred me to a surgeon to have my tonsils taken out. Nice huh? I have had strep nine times in the past 2.5 years so they gotta come out.

I'm off to chill out on the couch with a thick blanket and a cheesy movie, gotta rest so I can get back to work. Talk to ya soon!
 
Yo Chris!! Don't forget to take your measurements this weekend! Maybe we can come up with a little challenge to motivate us. I know you're competitive enough for it. You game??
 
Sooo, here is what I have been up to lately. I was on some medication that made me gain some weight. 14 pounds in all. I stopped taking the medicine about a month ago, and have shed 10 of those 14 pounds:)

For exercise, I have been taking a boot camp class 3 times a week. On Tuesdays and Thursdays (the off day for the boot camp), I have started running. Today I ran two miles. This Saturday, I start my semi-flag (almost tackle) football league. So that will be my fun day of exercise.

For the last week, I have been vigilant in drinking 80-100oz of water and have cut my sodium intake waaaaay down. It is helping I can tell, except I pee all the time. I feel like a woman ;)

As far as my health is concerned I feel really good...now I just need to get to work on the self esteem....will I ever not feel like I am fat?
