Moabnuts diary

OK, I'm starting to get back on track. I didn't make it to the gym today but I did the last 2 days. I did 40 min of elliptical each day and ran 1.5 miles as well. I ran outside at a slow but respectable pace. No tendinitis as of yet. I promised myself I would wait till I was under 200 to start running outside again but I don't follow my own advice very well.

I didn't make my April goal of 202 lbs, and I'm still 2 lbs off...but I re calibrated my scale and it pushed me up a couple lbs otherwise I would be there now. When I first started using it, it seemed to weigh me higher, but now that Ive lost so much it seems more accurate. :cool:
 
I really got spun off track this last weekend. I ate out 3 times, not watching calories at all. I ate tons of candy, chips and cookies. I got back on track Monday, and finally today I am back in "lower weight" Zone. I'm 202 today, so close to breaking 200! Its amazing that I could be so close to breaking 200 and still be doing so bad staying on track. Every weekend has been a challenge for me since I moved back home, I'm not making my goals! I'm determined though that I will make my monthly goal this month! No more mess up "celebrations" :cool:
 
Troutman, looks like your catching back up with me. I havent been able to concentrate on dieting much and havent been doing great the last month or so. Im up to about 207, which isnt bad for how Ive been eating. I need to get back on track, but I have the next 3 weeks off and will be doing a lot of vacationing. I dont think Ill be losing during this time. Im trying not to gain anymore though.
 
OK, I'm back....or trying to get back. I have done very poorly since May. Since then I have gained over 20 lbs. I'm hitting 220 now and seeing all my hard work dissolve right in front of me. I haven't worked out in a month or so. I see a correlation between the time I spend on this site and how well I do on my diet, so my goal is to post on here at least 4 times a week and relate my progress, or lack thereof. Maybe it will help me get my butt in gear!
 
Glad Your Back

moabnut, Glad your back. I have not been consistent. My weight runs from 220 - 230 Lbs. Just not eating well. I am doing well on my running & not eating sugar (76 days without). Even though I have not ran in 7 days.
Like you said your weight will drop really fast when you start back up. Maybe I should take a look at that last sentence myself

Hello Kaitie, Thanks for visiting my dusty, unused journal. Anyway, I was born and raised in a mormon family and even baptized, but Ive never really been an active mormon and dont really claim it as "my religion." Why, are you LDS?
I read some of your journal, congrats on the weight loss, I hope to see continued success reflected on your ticker.
 
well troutman, I hope that I'm right and will see the pounds drop off real fast...but I'm starting to doubt myself. I was in a half starved delirium when I wrote that...it really wasnt me. Anyway, I'm glad I'm back too. I need a little extra kick in the butt....something to boost my motivation. Every day for the last month or so Ive woken up on my diet and stayed true to my diet every minute until I reached the kitchen. Sometimes I would even make it to my work, but never much longer. I just have to keep reminding myself that failing isn't falling off the horse, its refusing to jump back on again that is true failure. Anyway...you will be seeing more of me around here weather I'm doing good or not! later
 
Yep, I'm LDS. (don't worry, I won't try to convert anyone) ;)

Thanks for the encouragement....sticking with a diet is not easy. I've been at it for 2 weeks and already I feel like I want to go back into my old rut. But I can't and I'm going to try really hard to keep myself motivated...if anything my new puppy Fausto will make me go to the gym---at the moment he's under foot every second, it's driving me mad! :D
 
Hi Kaitie, dint worry...I'm used to people trying to turn me around make go back to church. Im kinda the black sheep of the family. The rest are in pretty good standing with the church.

Dogs are the way to go for exercise, I have a new yellow lab that is about 6 months old now and Im taking her running with me. We get our exercise, she gets to get out and have fun and it gives me a chance to work with her on heeling. Good all around :cool:
 
OK, so today I didn't do wonderfully on my diet. My wife made lasagna so I was bound to cave, but other than that, I did OK. I also went running for the first time in over a month or so. Man, have I gotten out of shape. I ran about 2 miles and was pretty out of breath the whole way. I can really feel the weight Ive put on in the last 3 months. I also practiced some soccer with my kids.

Well, Ive got to change my ticker back now, its at 199.5 and Ive got to change it to 220...kinda depressing. I hope to get it back under 200 in a month or two. Ive still got some summer vacations planned though and they tend to really pack on the lbs.

All in all a good day though, probably not much of a weight loss day, but not a gain either and going for a run was the best/hardest thing to start again. but I did it and I feel good for it too. :cool:
 
OK, my wife is in cooking mode which makes it hard for me to stick to a strict diet, but we've been going running too, it makes up for it. She made a roast today so I had some of that...yum, but I was mostly good the rest of the day, and I didn't go overboard so it was an OK day. I ran about 2.5 miles with soccer and everything. I'm pretty beat so I had to have done good. :cool:
 
The last couple days I have not been doing well at all. The day starts out well and ends bad. Plus I have been too busy with work to get in a run. Taking a trip this weekend too so I probably...most assuredly will not be doing well then either.
 
Trying to get back on track here. I gained a couple more lbs this last week on vacation. I haven't been running since last week either. I promised I would try to write in this journal more regardless of how I'm doing, but I sure dont want to because I haven't been doing well.

I have done good so far today though, which is probably the reason I'm writing...to help me to keep doing good. I have to remember that truly failing is not slipping, but refusing to keep trying.
 
Hi :D
This is the first time I've stopped by your journal, and I have to say, GOOD FOR YOU for losing close to 60 pounds!! That is a huge accomplishment!

You're right, failing truly lies in refusing to keep trying.

You have less to lose now then when you first started, you know you CAN do this!

Do you have a meal plan that can help you get through the day? Do you count calories?

Keep going & stay focused, you've come a long way, 60% of your goal is behind you!
 
moabnut, Just hang in there. You'll get back on track. I keep trying & I know I will get back on track as long as I keep trying.

M2M, Thanks for the support. I do have a mealplan kinda, and it mostly works. Its sticking to it that is tough.
 
I didnt do good at all this weekend, but I didnt expect to. I had two weddings and visited friends that I havent seen in a while. I had a good time, but I have a lot of making up to do. I did run 5.5 miles the other day after I had posted. I sure was sore! Im going to give it another go this week.
