Oh I broke myself of that last summer, but the old habit has crept back for me too. A good night's sleep really helps with weightloss.

I dont know how to get a good nights sleep Cannon. I wake up many times through the night and by the time I am finally asleep it is time to get up.
Well today I am in around 1600 cals, and only about 100 oz of water. I need to get drinking. Fridays are going to be my off day for excersice. Recoup and regear. As it is weigh in day also.
Okay so here is my new goal. I want to give up chinese buffet on Thursday's. Its a lifestyle choice not a sacrafice. I always give into peer pressure even when I really dont want to go.
Weighed in today at 136. So didnt loose anything, given the exersice and calorie watching. Its okay though, its okay. This is my first week back with a healthy lifestyle and it is just going to take some time. It didnt melt off when I lost it before, why should I expect it to melt of now.
Tomorrow is grocery store day, stocking up on alot of fresh produce. I plan on going to the Y at 9 AM and going to do cardio till about 11. then get all of my chores done, then veg the rest of the day. Sunday is lawn care day. The YMCA is closed so I opted to do the mowing on Sundays. It takes about 2 hours, and it is an ass kicker.
Have a great weekend.

For me it is like speed walking. I cannot jog it hurts my ankles really bad. You could jog at this speed though. I dont really enjoy running or jogging, but I love walking. At the YMCA the treadmills have TVs above them with cable and you can watch anything while you are walking, the time flies so fast!

OKay, I am done eating for the day. It was not a good day. Someone brought in Panera Bagels at work today. I thought, Oh bagels. Couple hundred cals each. I looked online 410 Cals per
I had 2, one for breakfast and one for lunch. HOLY SH*T. I should have looked at the nutritional value first. So that is 1000 cals in bagels today.
Cals = 2100 to 2200
Water = 3 L
Exercise = 10 mins on the row machine, 30 mins on the elliptical, 20 mins on the tread 4.0 @ 2% incline.

Don't worry Heidi. It takes 3500 excess calories to make a pound. You're not the first person to get fooled by Panera. I do like their food, but it always seems to have more calories than you would think from their salaries on up.
