RJ's Diary

Weighed myself today first thing in the morning, no water or anything in me :) wait... that sounds gross.. i mean i didnt drink any water upon wakening. so.. the number was 289.6. so its a peek into the 280's im sure that 2 glasses of water and im back in 290s but its refreshing to have met my mini goal! which was to get to 290 by april 30th

new goal:

280 by 5/20/07

popping in to say hi and congrats on meeting your mini goal...and ahead of schedule! :D Doesn't that feel great?!
 
BYE BYE 290s!!

ok... im gonna go ahead and say im officially out of the 290, how i managed to do it with all cheating is beyond me!

Actually its not... i didnt over indulge, i filed up on low cal stuff like veggies, even took a meal replacement bar to stave off hunger. Primarily during the week i was in defecit by sticking to the plan.

This goes to show, sticking to the plan works.

todays weight

288.2 time to put the scale away until monday

Congrats on not skipping it! It's so easy to skip it when things don't go as planned, but I'm glad you stuck to it anyways!

I'll have to check it out when I have more time, it's so late and I should be sleeping right now cause I have my resistance (lower body) class tom morning!
 
April has been a trying month for dieting! Birthdays, Holidays, barbecues dinner dates. Lack of sleep. monday weigh in 290, after a weekend like that i dont think that its so much fat as water, so im gonna check it again tommorrow.

Dieting wasnt a total disaster, for the most part i made good choices, save for the alcohol. but im back on track, pretty much as of yesterday, although i was totally exhausted and skipped my workout..
oh wait todays tuesday... i been back on track since sunday, but didnt count calories, i ate at my moms, steak, beans, salad, veggies cooked on grill in olive oil. just watched my portions and hoped for the best!
 
RJ, it seems like you're doing pretty good. And you're increasing your weights, at least that's the way it appears. Am I right?
 
yep, still a steady increase in weights,although today i think that imay have gotten ahead of myself in my wide grip pulldowns, idont think im getting full range of motion. but this bowflex is really inconsistent, the resistance isnt that heavy until the point where full contraction is made, so the rest of the movement is fairly easy until the last inch or two.
 
I must agree, this month has been horrible for dieting. I'm mostly on track now, still have the odd snacks at work that I know I shouldn't, but at least I eat only a couple crackers and not a whole handful like I used to. But still, I need to get back to being 100% in it (except sunday as my rest day). Good luck to you in staying on track and good job for getting back on track!
