Day 4 and 5

Sorry I never got back to post that anyone is reading besides my mom lol. Yesterday went pretty well as far as eating goes. I am happy with the results and I worked hard to clean the house and mow the lawn which was quite a work out. I then went and threw the baseball for about an hour. So even though I didnt go to the Gym I was active and I am happy for that!

Today has been awesome. I went to the Gym this morning and have been really good about my eating. The plan is to hit the Gym tomorrow and maybe Thursday,but I'm not sure yet. Friday will be the first of many Weigh in's so I'll be posting the results that night!

Day 3.

Yesterday was Awesome! I ate pretty good, I did have a burrito for dinner, but no chips and didnt drink any soda all day! Then at the Gym I was beasting it on the elliptical. Hitting 12.3 mph for a straight minute and no pain! then I did some weights for about 20 min and then my glutes were starting to cramp so I decided to stop for the day. Got in a good hour. I'm happy today with my results of yesterday. :)

Today. I've had 2 mini banana nut muffins for breakfast. A little bit of sugar, but it was that or nothing and I know Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. No Gym planned today. I want to take a day to let my muscles recuperate a bit, but I'll be back at it tomorrow. I also have to clean and mow the lawn before the Parentals return so its not like I'll be a lazy bum. So todays goal is to stay motivated and keep working on watching what goes in my mouth.

Have a great sunday!

Day 2

Day 1 Review: I didnt get to post last night like I had hoped. I blame the Xbox lol My eating went pretty good during the day. Banana and some Raspberry sparkling water for breakfast. Then for lunch I had a Tuna Sandwich LOTS of Green Beans and squash, some new potatoes and a tiny, like one fork full, of Mac n cheese. The biggest thing I noticed is I didnt pick at anything in works kitchen. Usually I'd grab something sweet or whatever I could every time I walked through, but not yesterday! :) after work I went to the Gym and did 30 min on the elliptical machine on the Hill setting. Got 3 miles in and about 500 calories burned. After that I was a bit tired, but I still wanted to do weights, but I decided it would be better to just go to the sauna for a bit before I headed home. That is where things turned a little sour. I had an apple after the gym on the way home and I had planned on finishing the Digornio pizza (2 small slices) that was left over in the fridge. After a few hours of hangin out and doing homework and what not I gave in to my urges and ate 2 Pizza Hot Pockets. It's ok though, one day at a time and now those hot pockets are gone and with them Temptation. Today is a new chance :D


Today: I woke up feeling great at 5 am for work. When I got to work I ate 2 pieces of wheat toast with my Ras Water (7/8 sparkling water, 1/8 Raspberry Ice Tea) and now I'm sitting here thinking about today. I really like the way I felt knowing I ate healthy most of the day yesterday, but today I want to go the whole day without slipping. So my Goals for today, Make it through the day without slipping as well as go to the Gym after work. Be back later :)

Day 1

Today I have decided I will be attempting to log my newest battle with weight loss. For those of you who don't know I've fought this fight several times before more recently losing a total of 117 lbs. However, some physical injuries and a relationship have steered me off course and I have gained a significant amount back within the last 2 years.

Currently I weigh 275 give or take a few. My goal by my next birthday, September 23, is to get back down to 225. I have exactly 2 months to lose 50 lbs. now I know some will say thats too much too fast, well thats the way I have to do this. Balls to the wall or dont go at all. Realistically if I lose 30 by then I will be happy because I do need to slowly adjust back into the physical lifestyle while I recover from a herniated disc. I just recently got a cortisone shot to relieve some pain so hopefully I can stay on course.

My biggest challenge will not be the working out, but the eating right. I am addicted to Pizza, Burritos and to be honest Soda again. So starting today I am cutting out soda again and limiting myself to 1 "cheat" day a week for 1 meal. The thing will me to EARN this day I must work out 4 days that week. I know your not suppose to reward yourself with food, but baby steps people lol.

I am planning on working out today after work for as long as I can max of an hour and a half. I will be back tonight to post on how I did today on my eating and workout. Wish me luck!
