Had a great day, after yesterday being so hungry all the time. Not so hungry to day, that it a great help. My wife weighs in tomorrow, & she is very nervous. I have never seen her eat so well & we have been married 28 years. So I know she had a great week. I did my run/walk today. Just two weeks ago I started with 4 miles & have increased my mileage a little each day & I'm up to 5.7 Miles. I have made so much progress in my workouts I'm very surprised & I have been doing sit-ups also.

Well I had another great day. My wife did not reach her goal she wanted to lose 5 Lbs. She only lost 2 Lbs. I thought she might be very upset. She took it really well & went on with more determination. I very proud of her.

Today when I was doing my run/walk minding my own business. I pass another runner going the opposite direction. We nod, like you will. She was a high school runner. The corner was about 100 yards behind me. About 3 Minutes later I see this girl running on the opposite side of the street. Thats the same girl I just passed. What a let down I must be really really really slow. All of a sudden another runner passes me, how depressing. After about 5 runners had passed me, I looked behind me to see who else would be passing. Some young tall kid was about 20 yards behind me. So I decided to go for it, to see how long I could keep him from passing me. After 1/4 mile I had to start walking. I would not look back, so I started counting the seconds it would take him to pass. Counting One, Two, Three, I got up to 30 & I'm wondering where is he, it could not have been 30 seconds behind me. Well I get up to the stop light & he passes by me. Of course I'm happy & proud of myself. Then I'm thinking he sees this old man with gray hair speeding up so he could not pass. So he just sits back & lets me stay ahead. While hes laughing. Who knows.

rotfl, yeah i know the feeling
but it got you going didnt it? Wonder how much extra you burnt just doing that :D
 
wishes, It did get me going. I hope I burned an extra 500 calories. Even though I know I didn't.

Had a good day. Things seem like there on auto pilot. That means I better be extra careful. Decided to change my running/walking a lot. I'm going to be doing shorter faster runs, longer slower runs, runs where I go fast then slow thru-out the run, take a 2 days off a week.

hyperose, Thank You!

Had a good day. The only thing I ate dinner a little early & its now only 7:30 PM & I WANT FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The question that remains will I eat or suffer. Ran/Walked this morning & it was still 20 degrees will it ever warm up. This is by far the coldest winter I have had since moving here 19 Years ago. There is not even a year close to this year. Also so far this is the driest year we have ever had.

Doing Good

Have been doing good. Down to 240 Lbs. I'm working a lot, getting some new things going in my Real Estate business. Should be done working night & day in about 2 weeks (I Hope). Will try to post a couple of time unti then. My exercise has not been going to well. Actually it has been very bad.

Chip
 
Not good I gained 2 lbs from Feb. 6. I thought I would be done getting the new things in my Real Estate Business going. Well I'm not close to being done. The first thing was to find companies I would be working with. Well I strated having orders come in about 2 weeks ago. So between filling the orders & finding new companies to work with, its work night & day. I don't know when I will get caught up. I am so beat, I can't believe it. It's all good though, I had to have a another income source with Real Estate or I was going to have to get out of the business.

Chip
 
Back down 2 Lbs. to 240. I'm so tired of working so many hours. I don't know how long it will last. I'm hoping not more than another month. I keep plugging away. Can't wait until I can be back on here all the time.

Chip
 
Sad, Mad, Depressed, Embaressed, But Back

All of the above is how it is. I have been eating because I have been depressed. I am a Real Estate Agent & the market has taken a dump, so I'm working lots & lots & lots of hours with not a lot going on. So that is why I have been eating. We may lose our home. But then again we may pull it out & be able to keep it. I could not say that 6 weeks ago. So I will have to make the time to get on here & post.
I weighed in this morning, not an easy thing to do. I weighed in at 289 Lbs. I have almost gained all the weight that I lost.

Chip

Todays Weight: 289 Lbs.

cinderelly, Thanks for the welcome back.

I finished day 2 yeah. I was not as hard as I thought it would be. Changed my diet a little. Last time I was trying to keep calories at 1,500. Now I'm putting my calories between 1,500 - 2,000.

I wife gave me a bike for my birthday. So I went for a ride yesterday & today. A lot differnt than walking. I have a lot pain from yesterday & today. To mix it up I will go for a walk tommorow.

Breakfast

1 Cup - Spaghetti

Lunch

1 Cup - Spaghetti

Dinner

2 In & Out Burgers - no cheese & no spread

Chip
 
Oh what to do!

Here I sit by my self, (my wife is out playing bingo). Food is calling me, I want to scream, cry, quit, shoot my self (not really). I don't want to eat, but I want to eat. I'm just want to eat to live, not live to eat. Can I ever change? Is there hope for me. I am crying. Why do I want to eat when I'm alone. I would be embarssed if some one saw me eating as much as I do. Yet why am I not embarsse the people see the way they look. I'm just sad right now. I'm so upset with myself.

chip
 
I made it through the evening without eating, & I'm OK now I guess if your really hungrey just wait a few hours & everything will be OK.
I stayed within my calories today.

I Walked 2 miles this morning.
 
Really have not been hungrey today. Just have wanted to eat bad. Today it was all a head game. Don't know how many calories. The only bad thing was having mexican food tonight. The good was I did not have all the good things on my burrito, the good things being, cheese, sour cream, & avacado. At lunch I had my turkey sandwich dry & no cheese. So I think I did pretty good.

I went for a bike ride 2.5 miles.
 
Have wanted to eat today. Or should I say eat things that I should not eat. Have stayed under my 2000 calories today. Walked 2 miles.

Chip
 
Doing good

Had a good day, felt pretty good. Hungrey, but it did not bother me today. I was under my 2,000 calories so doing good. Even though it has been tough going so far.

Rode bike 3.5 miles.
 
Heya Chip...Im sorry you have been down adn cryign and feeling as you have been - i am however happy to see you feeling better and meeting or coming in below your cal range:)

You did this once before you can totally do this agian:)
 
I hate McDonalds!

cinderelly, Thanks, I'll most likely think I can do it in a couple of more weeks.

I went into McDonalds today to ge a grilled chicken sandwich, with no sauce. I open my sandwich & there is sauce, I was so mad. I was to far to take it back, & had no time. I ate it, because I left my house at 6:15 this morning & should have been back for breakfast, but I did not have time. Not a big thing but what is so hard about not putting mayo on somthing.

I did have a good day all together. I told my wife I was going to walk this evening. Then I changed my mind. About 7:30 she said are you going on your walk. I did not let on that I wasn't. So I left the house & went to the bakery. Just kidding.

2.2 mile walk
