Hi JZ

I just breezed through your journal and it is very inspiring. You are doing great....I live north of Mi border and my dtr goes to U of Toledo (can you believe they beat michigan). I too am reluctant to say that I am a Lions fan...even though right now i think toledo can beat them too :)..but I cant help myself for liking them....

Anyway, I just saw in the Michiganians thread that you were from S of Toledo and I thought I would breeze in and say hi. Glad I did...makes me wanna go buy an applepear and a jumprope.

Have a great week

Thanks for "breezing through"! Yep, that UT/Michigan game was unbelievable! I'm UT alumni, so I enjoyed the game!!! Thanks for your kind words. I just started this lifestyle change 3 weeks ago, today actually, so I am still trying to make new "habits". Lions are 0-5!! It's almost time for the paper bag hoods if you want to catch a game at Ford Field!!! Drop by anytime... I appreciate all comments, or advice. :)
 
Day 19

Real abbreviated to catch up to date!!!

Great eating, and great workout! Weighed for Lose it by Christmas Challenge and was a total of 19 pounds down!
 
Days 20 and 21

Soccer Tournament weekend.....

I was very concerned about going out of town for this with my new lifestyle of healthy eating and excercise...

Turns out, things were pretty easy!! I ate great, spent a shit ton doing so, but was easy to order the grilled _________, and mixed steamed veggies. I even squeezed in 30 minutes on a treadmill at the Hotel gym. It was empty, so my kids had a good time crawling all over everything!!! Complete ZOO, but I cleaned it when I was done ;) ;) !! I feel great!!! I know I can do this forever, and that feels awesome!! Officially weighed in today (MON), and the scale said I had lost .4 pounds. This is so small, I'm not updating my ticker, but it was great to know I didn't lose any of the progress I had made up to this point!!! Having a great Day 22 so far... I'll post officially later!

Thanks, I like kickin' your butt!! Actually, I'm waiting for the baloon to drop!! I can't keep loseing like I have been. It has to slow down, and probably real soon. If it's any consolation... my shoulders and tri's still hurt from all the push ups (and maybe that damn jumprope too!!) Hope you had a great weekend as well!
 
It WILL slow down but you might as well take advantage of it while you can... and at least you know it's going to slow down so you're ready for it! You're doing awesome! Seriously, you are motivating me beyond belief!
 
Yup. take it for all it's worth and run with it JZ. Once you've plateaud a bit some time from now, you'll be wishing it would still go like this.

BTW, Stop over my diary when you get a chance and kick my ass for falling off the wagon this weekend. You promised to, so I expect it...
 
heard today they are probably going to announce a trade tomorrow..maybe kitna and williams...to cowboys.

my dtr is studying sports training at U of T....she likes it ...nice campus too...
 
JZ,
Hope all is well. Enjoying the hockey season so far? The Bruins are surprising me a little and playing well. I dont think that will last too long.

I saw your post about hitting a plateau. Sometimes you'd be surprised how long it could take. Keep kickin ass on your workouts and eating and you'll keep losing.

Keep up the good work.

They have to try something right??? Ridiculous! The problem is the OWNERS!! They don't want to spend a dime!!! Why should they??? Even with HORRIBLE play, Ford Field is almost always sold out? They have to be banking quite a bit!!!!

1. The campus is VERY nice. It's like if someone asked you to close your eyes and imagine a college campus... UT is what a lot of people would picture. The old stone worked buildings are great.

2. Does your daughter like to watch and play sports? If yes, is she smokin' hot?? :biggrinjester: Just KIDDING!!!! That is a very cool field of study. I have a few friends that took that then went into physical Therapy. There are quite a few directions she can go with that major.

Hockey season is AWESOME!! I was going to have to miss Saturday's game because I was out of town for my son's soccer tournament, so I switched with a guy from another team to play on Friday because his son plays HS Football so we are switching for the first 3 weeks. Now, this is OLD MENS LEAGUE, so it's all about the offense, but I had two goals and three assists. It was a lot of fun to play again, and the caliber of play was actually pretty good. The final score was... get this... 9 to 7. The team I was subbing in for lost... Oh well.

I'm not worried about a plateau, I just am expecting the numbers to be not as large as the first weeks.

Thanks for the thoughts Matt.
 
thanks for the pass on the a$$ kicking for this weekend. I'm all kinds of proud of myself for shoving my way through that workout even though I didn't want to. and hey, you're part of the reason why I did it. fear of JZ shit talking. ;) works like a charm.
Hope you're having a good day today. and don't forget your cardio mister. :toetap05:
:D
 
What a successful weekend!!! Most of us on here (not all, but me I guess) usually GAIN weight on the weekends, so .4 is better than nothing! :D Good job!

I will do my cardio woman! Thanks for keepin' me on the straight and narrow! I "officially" took your mom off of speed dial ;) ;) ... but it can be put back in a hurry so no slackin' missy :toetap05:

I am having a wonderful day, thanks... and what's with everyone thinkin' I'm a :reddevil: ??? :D
 
not a :reddevil:, just the guy to go to when you need your butt kicked back into gear. and if you notice, on Paul's journal I called you our wonderful JZ. so you can't be all bad. ;)
