One pound at a time

I can't believe its been since Dec. 20 Th. that I posted on my diary. I have been around doing pretty good. Really excited about tomorrow, my wife is starting her diet again with me. It makes it much easier when we work together. Even though she whines a lot.

I'm not so excited about starting my walking again tomorrow. Its been since around the middle of Dec. since I've done any walking. I feel better when I'm exercising, yet it's so much easier not to exercise. I feel better when I'm eating right, yet it's so much easier to eat what I want. Makes no since. I wonder if I'm the only one like this.

Seeing my kids at Christmas was not good for me. They are both gaining a lot of weight. I have set such a bad example, in the health department. It was not easy but I did talk to them about it.

Awwww try not to beat yourself up I am noticing my oldest daughter
she's "8"eating very unhealthy to the point where she sneaks junk food
among other things so I am not buying anymore junk maybe every other
weekend I will tret them to something but it has gotten out of hand.
Sometimes they have our genes and thats already a negative and then
it's up to us to try to make the healthier foods for them I have been buying
those 100 cals packs for snacks for them.

Anyway your doing great and you are so determined and your kids see that
and will learn from you!;) Have a gr8 day,Tammy
 
Had a good day, it is easier doing this with my wife. She even had the nerve to throw out my hidden stach of ice cream. Sometimes she is so mean. I did get back to my exercise did 4.1 miles. Very slow around
1 Hr. 15 Mins.

Man I'm hungry, I know I was not trying that hard but, I guess I must say I have been really slacking. Since I have to answer to my wife, I have to really eat good, or answer for it. And vice versa for my wife. Actually I'm very happy about it. I did sit-ups today, I have not done that in a long, long time.

4.2 Miles / 1:15:47 / 4:00 PM Very Nice Day


Sit-ups - 5 Crunches 2 Full Sit-ups

Don't laugh, it was not easy to do what I did.

haha good on your wife for throwing out the ice cream :)

Make sure you do something special for her to show your appretiation! :D
 
Yesterday & today have been very good days. Stayed within my calories yesterday & today. Did my 4 mile walk both days.

Sad to say my daughter is mad at me for talking to her about her weight. I'm happy I did talk to her. Yet it makes me sad she did not take it to heart. I did do it in a nice & loving way.
My son on the other hand has taken it to heart & has lost 5 Lbs. in the last two weeks.


4.3 Miles / 1:17:10 / 6:00 PM Very Windy & Very Cold


Sit-ups - Crunches - 6 / Full Sit-ups - 4
 
Oh well, i was mad before at some folks so i understand wat yr daughter is feeling. We r emotional creatures lol.

Just continue to shower her with TLC and she'll realise it soon. Cheers for your son's effort! U r an awesome dad!:D

Wow you are doing awesome. I hope they realize how much you care for them in doing so. I only wish people had sat me down when i was bigger and said 'hey ... this is a problem ... this is how you can deal with it' rather than sniggering behind ones back etc.

Congrats on your son loosing 5lb. Females often take time comming around - maybe after seeing yours and your sons loss she may click :)
 
wishes & pinkydolly, Thanks for the kind words.

Another boring evening watching the grass grow (bingo). Had a good day eating about 1,500 calories. Five days in a row being about as perfect as I can be. It really helps having my wife losing weight also.

Had another good day, I don't really know how many calories. Did my walking this morning it was 7 degrees. I broke down & wore sweats this morning instead of my shorts. The second coldest it has been since I have lived here, and I have been here 18 years next month.

Wow this diary should be called TROUTS BOOTCAMP WORKOUT:p !
Your kicking butt!! Keep up the gr8 work have ya won at bingo lately?
I lost last week won $20 the week before than $150 the week before
that so I am up $20 lol!!Have a gr8 night Tammy
 
niapage, I've won $20.00 the last two week & it cost $15.00 to play so I'm up $10.00. I usually lose almost every week. So when you lose & it boring as all get out. Its no fun.

I've had a good day today. Unless I mess up tonight I have almost had a perfect week. I was told yesterday that I was opening up the office today & I needed to make sure I was there at 8:00 AM. When I got to the office, I looked at the sheet & I was not opening up this morning, so I left. When I got home it was only 3 degrees. So I said this may be a once in a life time opportunity to walk in such cold weather, so I did my walk. I don't find much of a difference from 3 degrees to 20 degrees. You put on a couple of layers and your very comfortable.

I told my wife last night I needed a steak. She had the gull to tell me I did not need red meat. Since we have not been together that long (28 years) I had to kick her out. That solved the wife problem.

4.60 Miles / 1:11:00 / 8:30 AM / 3 Degrees

No Sit-ups today

Oh my, lol...I thought I would drop by and take a look around...I think your doing great by the way...
 
I just got done with dinner, it was so so good. Anyone else feel that meals taste so much better when your dieting.

Dinner

salad with - green beans, beets, onions, cucumber, fat free salad dressing
Turkey burger - 6 oz. with salsa
1 cup white rice with teri. sauce

When I'm not eating right that would taste like garbage.
