OK, well I have not been on the scale for a bit. Trying to eat good, but its tough this time of year. Long hours, high stress, little sleep..... Im doing OK. Better then I expected, but not great by any means. Im sure a lot of you are with me. :D :D
 
you could try posting more information in here like what you are eating so others can make possible sugestion on how to better reach your goals.

Hang in there through these bas days and you will get there.
 
Ya, as for now Im just cutting out eating the crap.


Well I have been sick the last few weeks. Bad sinus infection that put me on my butt for weeks!!!!


Getting better, and starting back on track.

Eating two pacs of instant oatmeil in the am. turkey sandwitch at lunch, ..


That part I am good with. I tend to have problems with portition control at night, and snacking. :(

271.5 this morning.
 
268 this morning!!!

OK, that was mostly from the fact that the antibodys I am taking for a sinis infection is kicking my butt,,,,, But I will take it however I get it. :D :D
 
Hey Paul

Good work so far. I think your approach is pretty good, cutting out the crap.

I think I'll try that again. Last time that's exactly how I started. I focused on cutting out the bad foods before I focused on eating the good ones.

Every bit helps.

Weekends are tough for me. I tryed... but did do someextra snacking. :( I tend to eat from boredom, and I was inside all day watching the kids. I did catch myself, and stopped eating at dinner when I was full, eaven though there was more food on my plate!!!

Also spent 30 min on the bike last night. No weight lifting. I did the last two days, and wanted a day off to rest the mussels a little. Havent weighed in yet....
 
269 this morning!! Hoping to keep under the 270's.

Still ate more then I should have, but kept my dinner portions under controll. Realy got to up my intake of F&V's though!

Worked out last night. I was tired, but I pushed myself. Glad I did. I felt good after!! 20 min on the bike, and some lifting.

My be going to Disney in May this year... Would REALY like to be in the 240's by then.
 
Well people I have not been here for a bit. ...


Good news is Im doing GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have not missed a day working out. I spend at least 20 min on the bike. Most times I spend 1/2 hour, and do some lifting. Eating better also. Two pac's instant oatmeal in the morning, and a turky sandwitch and carrots for lunch. Dinner I may not eat the best, but I at least have some veggies, and cut my portions WAYYYY back!!!

Well no workout last night. I was WIPED out. I guess one off day a week is OK. I ate real well though. I had two pacs instant oatmeal for breakfast, a half turky sandwitch [half slice cheese, no other stuff on it] and baby carrots. I did have a few PB crackers later on the day as a snack though. For dinner I had a can of soup and 6 crackers.

Did not weigh today.
 
Well no cardo on the bike last night. Did not feel well after I got the kids to bed. :( I did do some lifting during the day though!! I have been reading through the stickys on how to do the lifts correctly, and suprise, suprise, I was doing them pretty good! :D :D Added Squats to my routen. I had not done them, becouse as I gain weight, my knees hurt. Well they have felt better, so I went for it. Followed the letter of the law, on that sticky, and OMG I feel it!!!! Ended up not eaven using any weight!!!!!!!

Todays weight is 264!!!! I have dropped almost 10lbs!!!!!!!!!
