Hey this is cool, I was just over in your diary.

I'm not on a diet, I've changed the way I live my life. I know that may sound like semantics but it really is different. To answer your question, I've been doing this for 12 weeks today.

I noticed in your diary that we are similar in height and body type. I'm a few years older than you though. We can do this. This is a battle for our lives!

Thanks for stopping by.

No weights tonight, I took the girls to the YMCA pool instead.

Useless fact: The only real difference between an oral thermometer and a rectal thermometer is the taste.

I hear you and totally understand what you are saying. The word diet is easily misinterpreted often. A diet is actually the food you are eating. So what I meant was: "How long have your been on your diet(healthier eating regimine) and exercise plan?" Anyway, way to go on your success so far.

Your funny and that is a great positive attitude - things going well today ???

Well good mornin you - I was just gonna come and dig your diary out but you beat me to the punch:boxing:

It sounds like your day is going well I hope it continues on for you - I just did my 2 mile walk in 30 mins - I cut off 8 mins and I went in the rain I feel so alive :D:):D!!!

Will check back in later.
 
My day is going well. I didn't get to walk at lunch though. My boss wanted to take me to lunch and discuss a few things. We ate at this little hole-in-the-wall kinda place that does like home cooking. I had the 4 "vegtable" plate. I got back and plugged into fitday to calculate the damage. 700 freakin' calories!!! I can fit it in my calories for the day but I normally do less than half of that for lunch and then do a snack mid-afternoon.

I'm still 'on plan' and I am hitting the YMCA after work. I just joined there. I finally get to use an elliptical machine again!

Good job on the walk Cinderelly! I'm glad you feel alive because obviously you are:)

Random thought: Since missles are designed to hit stuff shouldn't they be called hittles? I'm just sayin'...

Hi Griff,

I think its soo wonderful you're getting healthy for your girls and spend so much time with them. I wish I had more time with my father when I was younger. Or that even now he would make an attempt to get healthy so he will be around for when my brothers and I have children (he smokes two backs a day and is extremely overweight). I love coming here and reading your posts you are a really funny guy... and even remind me of my father.

Your useless fact: what's the difference between an oral and rectal thermometer.... Everytime I was sick when I was little (which was a lot) and I was having my temperature taken my father would say that to me to cheer me up.

Keep up the great work
~Jenna

Just 12 weeks? You're doing very well, then! It took me almost a year to lose 30lbs. I think I was a little less serious about my goals back then... but at least I managed to maintain the lower weight.

Congrats on losing so much in 12 weeks. That's amazing!
 
Jenna - Thanks for stopping by, it is really important to me to spend time with my girls. Sometimes it's hard to fit it all in but it's worth it.

Sunny - Thanks, I've been working really hard. I did 100 miles last week on our Burger Lake to Lettuce Lake walk. Good to see you again.

more later...
 
Here is what I had for dinner. This is one of my favorites! Flat Out bread PIZZA! Yummy! Only 350 calories!
 
I made it to the YMCA after work today. I did the elliptical for 1 mile as a warm up and then lifted weights for 30 minutes. Then I did another mile on the elliptical. I'm gonna be sore tomorrow from the weights but it's time to step it up a notch!

I realized today that I need to come up with a weight lifting program. I'll work on that. Any input from any of you will be appreciated.

Random event today: My bluetooth headset battery went dead, I actually had to hold my cell phone up to my ear like a freaking caveman!
 
Good morning fellow Flab Fighters!

My arms don't work right today. At least I know I pushed myself hard in the weight room last night.

Ker-PLunk! That's the sound of me losing another pound! Whooop!

Hope everyone has a great day.
