Wow I can't believe I'm done working & its only 2:00 PM. I don't know what I will do with myself. I think I will chase my wife around the house.
Yesterday I did not get done working until 12:30, which is really today.

Yesterday I had a weight gain of 2.25 Lbs. that makes me reallly mad. Then today I did not lose a single ounce. I can scream.

Chip
 
aaahhh bear with it - ya know the risks and frustrations of weightin in daily...what did ya eat anything with sodium or alot of sodium ??? Did you get your water in - it could be a number of things you knwo that...with exceptions to workign lots and long hours and to the 2.25 gain - Im glad to see all is going well and you are happy to have week one under your belt...You are doing this!!!
 
cinderelly, I know it is sodium intake & nothing else. It really dosen't bother me. I just like to see the scale go down one pound a day. Thats not to much to ask is it.

waked 2.5 miles

Stayed under my 2,000 calories. We had a early dinner about 3:00, it makes a long night without eating. I will most likely have some watermelon.
I would much rather have popcorn with peanut M&M'S in them. Also a Mounds bar sounds really good. It's hot here so I should throw in some ice cream with chocolate syrup.

So I think I will skip the watermelon.

The scale finally went down. So I feel better. Did my bike ride this morning. My wife made a big breakfast, I did really good, I had one egg, biscuit, no butter, with sugar free jelly, 1/2 cup of potatoes, one piece of bacon. I think thats good.

bike - 5.65 miles

The best week!!!

Not with the diet, the diet has been gone.
The good thing is, I have found other ways to make money in Real Estate, since home sales are down 60% compared to a year ago. Anyway I started this other little income in Feb. 2007. Just a way to bring in any kind of income. Getting more & more business as time goes by. I'm up until midnight alot working.
Anyway my wife does'nt work. I asked her at least 3 months ago to help. If she had to work 3 hours a week that would be a lot & she would complain. I kept telling her to help me or go get a job. Well I came to the realization that I don't have a marriage after 29 yrs. Well last sunday I sat her down & I put the shoe on the other foot, saying if it was reversed how would you feel.
Monday she said what do you want me to do. She has been working all day long ever since.
Since I started this little side line work in Feb. I have never turned down any work. The most orders I have ever recieved in a week was 30 & that was only for one week. I have been averaging about 20 orders a week.

Well guess what this week we recieved 48 orders. I could have done it with out my wifes help. But it would have been 18 hours a day. And with 48 orders a week we can live on that.

Thank God my wife does care about us. I was very sad for a few months.

Well anyway back to eating well & exercising.

I guess I will have to weigh in tommorrow.:mad:

Starting Over Again

Starting over again, I've been doing nothing but eating since the last post. Because my wife said why don't we start are diet the day Biggest Loser starts. Of course I said yes. Why because why start today when you can start the next day. This is the big laugh my wife is putting me in charge. And its my job to keep her on track. I can't keep my self on track. This should be interesting.

Chip
 
Yeah!

We (includes my wife) made it through the first day. I only had to say no to her one time. She wanted to go have mexican food. I said sure you can have one taco. She was not happy. I told her to get use to it.

I'm more hungry now than I have been all day. So I will look forward to breakfast.

TODAYS WEIGHT ---- 298 Lbs.
 
How can Costco do that to me.

How can Costco Yougurt have so many calories. I remember one having around 200 calories. So I asked my wife if she wanted to go get one. So off we go & get them, it was so good. When we got home I figured out the calories & its more like 350 Calories, I'm so mad. Now I can't have them very often. Will have to really work the yourgurt into my daily caloires to have one.
It was a good day. I worked in the yard 3 hours today & I'm beat. From what I remember you don't burn to many calories doing yard work.
Ate really good except for Costco.

Weight Correction

cinderelly, Thank You. I know my wife is going to get very grumpy, so I will have to stay strong. Beign strong is not one of my strong points right now. But I'm faking if for her.

Weight correction my weigh ins for the last two days are 4 Lbs. less. I had the scale set wrong.

It was a good day. We had a bufett breakfast at work, I kept it at 500 calories so that was good. Did good the rest of the day. I started my walking today.

4.1 miles

287 Lbs.

Chip
 
Chase your wife aroun the house a few times -that's a great cure for the grumps and if done properly - well it's good cardio - and if not done properly -it's still fun :)
 
maleficent, I caught my wife. Thats all I'll say.

We had a good day stayed within my calories had around 1,800. Did my walk it was approx. 110 degree's. It just wiped me out. My wife said it was only 90 & to quit whining.

The shower after a hard workout is like heaven.


4.25 Miles


282.50 LBS.
 
Didn't eat good today. Its a joint descision, of myself & wife. I just did not like eating bad today. When all is said & done I feal better eating right, & I think that is a really good thing.

282.75 LBS.

We had a good day, even though we had a lot of suffering. The 2nd. day of a diet is always harder than the first day. Hopefully it will be easier in 4 or 5 more days. Did stay with in my calories & did my walking. Have a blister from yesterdays walk. At least it only hurts when I walk.

OCT.

1----- 296.25 LBS.------WALK 4.13 MILES-----1:22:00
2----- 292.00 LBS.------WALK 4.10 MILES-----1:23:00
