Once a Fat Man......but NEVER again.

ok.

So today is my first day back at work since 12/23. I took 10 days off to be home with Erin and John and am now back. I am soooo tired right now but overall am ok. Erin is off until 3/3 so that is good.

Went to the gym yesterday for the fisrt time since 12/27. I did my day 1 workout and 30 min on the arc trainer and I am so beat. I backed off the weights and the intensity on the arc because I knew i couldnt jump right back into it. I am actually sore though- I havent been really sore from a workout in months....

I am going to try to go 3 or 4 times a week until we see what John's flow and rhythems really are and I can gauge what Erin can handle. Volleyball starts up tonight but i do not think I am going to go- I may but again, I need to see what erin can handle.

I was 219 this morning so all in all I did not do badly either over the holidays or the 2 weeks of completely sparadic eating.
I am back- in whatever capacity I am in- and took a solid 2 weeks off so I should be ready to hit it a little hard in the coming weeks.
:D
 
Wow.

Cant believe it has been as long as it has for me to continue posting here....
Hope people still remember lil ol me.....

So here I am.
My son is now 2 months old. He is 100% healthy and weighing in at a robust 11lbs 5 oz. He has some weight issues at the beginning but he has overcome those and is now doing really great.
My wife is UNDER her pre-pregnancy weight... I am so impressed with her.

Me? I am up to 231. Not horrid but not wonderful either. With all the fast food ordering the last 2 months and quickie prepared meals I am actually shocked it isn't worse. Couple that w the fact that I have been sick a couple times- related to the crappy eating I am almost positive- and have been a little sporadic going to the gym I am actually happy it has only gotten to this.

I am recommitting myself to remaking myself.
John starts daycare Monday and Erin goes back to work Monday- things are returning to normal and working out for us.

My boy is a treasure and I am so enthralled by him right now.

Anyway- hi to all those who know me. Ill be around more often i hope...
 
Brian great to see you back. I fell off the wagon after August. I'm sure I've talked to you since then. But I started back about a month ago and BAM I'm down 10 lbs!!! it's freaking amazing.

Congrats on the baby boy he is sooo gorgeous!!! I'm not a fan of kids but shit hes just soo darn cute!!!

Anyways I wanted to say hi since I haven't talked to you in forever! Stick with it Brian!

Have a good day! :)

Thanks Adeon- it is good to be back here. :)


I never really stopped working out but the eating got worse- thats all. I am fine with it all but would love to get back to the 210 or so i was at in Dec.


Thank you Btw- I am biased but I honestly feel my boy is remarkably cute.

I will always stick with it- we need to talk more often!

You have a good day too. :)
 
Brian! I am so glad you are back!

Your son is so adorable. Is mommy ready to go back to work tomorrow or is she going to struggle being away from baby?

Jump back on that bandwagon with the rest of us that fell off too!

I'm glad you are back... I've missed all my old weightloss cohorts.

We can do this!!!!

Thank Jesse. I am glad to be back too- albeit limited because work is busy now. :)
She was ready to go back- it was a bit of a struggle but all in all she wanted to go back nad was good with it.

Bandwagon indeed- missed all you guys too.

:D
 
So here I am again. :D

Wow- quite a few posts over the last several days for me- relatively of course.

So John started daycare yesterday- mommy went back to work- and he had a good day. Didnt want to sleep in the crib- I think it is because everything is unfamiliar to him- but ate well and was not bad at all. Got immunizied Saturday- I will say that nothing in the world prepares you to deal with a sreaming infant for 2 hours...- but all went fairly well.

New project starting at owrk this week so I am very stressed and very busy. I forgot to eat alot yesterday and ran 4 miles so I woke up at 228lbs this morning...... Such a false weight it is funny- I ate but certainly not enough- but tis a number so i really dont care.

All in all things are going well. Not going to the gym tonight- staying home w Erin & John- and having a relaxing evening.

:D
 
Well-
Here I am again.
I am not unhappy overall with how some things have gone but all in all I have come crawling back to this forum with my tail tucked between my legs

I am officially 241 lbs. It is all because of my diet- I just eat too damn much still. Mind you stress level and all is high but all in all life is good so I need to start to reclaim some things here.

I just got back into the swing of things running and working out consistently. I have learned that consistency is the key. I am also watching what I eat again.
I am not at all starting over- I am just starting a new phase of this. I have lost 25 pounds or so and kept them off for a while. I would love to get back to 220 again and feel I can get back there if I just keep my mind about me.

So Hi to those who know me and Hi to those who don't.

For the hell of it and because i think he is so damn cute I attached 2 pictures of my son- unfortunately I am in one of them :)
 
Had a decent workout yesterday- just need to get a handle on my eating....

3 sets of squats ending w 4x235
3 sets of DB press- 75lb
3 sets of db row- 75 lb
and some accessory arms- tris and biceps for the hell of it.
Then I ran for 30 minutes- 3.25 miles

So all in all a good workout but I just ate too much when I got home. Nothing crazy but I need to stop it. I am goodish all day and then between 830 and 10 I just lose a bit of control.

need to figure out what to do about the eating issue that late at night if I am serious about this....
