Day 100 - Weigh day number 7 - 1lb Woot!

Hey gang,

So we have reached weigh day number 100. I have been a major slacker latley and you know what? That is ok. I have managed to not gain any weight and I am ready to move forward. Hell I even lost a pound!

I have started weight training again and I am in severe pain, but that is a good thing. That means it is working. I am going to put myself on another 1600 calorie a day diet so I can achieve a boost in my weight loss. Wish me luck and talk to you soon!

Day 91 - News of my death has been greatly exaggerated.

I am still here folks! I just have not had much to say lately. I am still doing my weight loss thing. I did start to eat a lot more than I wanted too at the end of last week and it was kind of disheartening. So this week I decided to roll all the way back to 1600 calories a day and I have been starving. I did loose a couple more pounds quick!

I am trying to find that sweet spot where I can enjoy food and still be healthy. It is a journey. I am still in this thing and I will wrote more later if something interesting happens. Otherwise you will here from me on weigh day at the latest. I really enjoy posting on weigh day :-)

Day 86 - Weigh day number 6!

I know have posted less lately and I am sure some of you may have questioned my dedication. I know that people try to lose weight all the time and give up. It is common and we have all done it. I have not given up and have posted a loss of 8 more lbs taking my total weight lost to a total of 60lbs. Not bad for 3 months. At first I was a little disappointed. I wanted to lose it faster. I want to be healthy right now damn it!

But you know what? this is not a 100 yard dash. This is a marathon. 60lbs in 86 days is pretty kick ass if I do say so myself. If i keep this pace for a year (and I know that is not possible) I would lose 240lbs in a year. That would be awesome. Today is another day to celebrate. If you are going on your own weight loss journey I encourage you to stick with it through the easy days and the not so easy days. there will be days that you will fall off the wagon and those will be the days you are tempted to give up. Those are the days when you must work the hardest to get back on that wagon.

If you have lost 50lbs and you freaked out and ate a pizza and 7 burritos, and a cake! that is OK (that is a bit much to eat in one sitting, what the hell is the matter with you?). You can start all over again with 50lbs less under your belt. Better than going on a binge gaining back 70lbs and starting over don't you think?

I hope this made sense to you and I look forward to my next two weeks.

Days 82 & 83 - Calories burned.

Day 82 I burned 346 Calories and consumed 1800 Calories.

Day 83 I burned 600 Calories and consumed 2002 Calories.

Nothing exciting for day 82. I went back to work and got back into my groove, however my groove was interrupted by an ever worsening ear ache which caused me to take a mild sleep aid that night which caused me to severely oversleep the next day thus burning a sick day and surely pissing off my co-workers.

No more sleepy pills for me. My ear still hurts, but it is bearable.

Until next time.

Day 81 - Yep. I am still here.

I have decided I am not going to post everyday. I just don't have things I want to say everyday. This blog is a tool to help me track my progress and my feelings. As it turns out, I am pretty damn shallow. I don't have a lot of feelings. I know what I want and I know what I need to do to achieve it. Today I went to the gym and did 1.36 miles on the treadmill for a burn of 586 calories. Only took 35 minutes. I recommend trying the 14 setting on the incline if you can handle it. It is an awesome way to burn calories quick. I usually role through the incline settings between 5 and 14 during my workout so my body doesn't get too comfortable. Their was a guy at the gym running full speed on the treadmill when I got there. I asked the guy at the desk what his deal was and he informed me they guy was a marine or something and he was hardcore. He told me the guy was there yesterday and ran like that for 3 hours! Can you imagine? That is just awesome.

Anyway, my vacation is over and it is back to work tomorrow. I think I am going to try kicking back to 1600 calories again for awhile to see if it gives me a weight lose boost.
