Howdy all, it has been a pretty long week. Things have been busy at work and at home so I have not had time to post any thoughts this week. I will try to do better next week.

I had a pretty good week. Been trying to eat better and I have been drinking a lot of water during the day. Working out every afternoon and feeling pretty good.

Weigh in: 227 lbs.

I did not lose any this week, in fact I am up a pound from last week. Not sure how that happened but it doesn’t discourage me. Going to take a good look at how I am eating and see what I can do better.

I feel good about the progress I have made this week. I am really starting to get into my routine. Exercising in the afternoon and controlling my portions better. Still eating basically what I want just not as much.

I have also started drinking more water. It is not to bad, I still prefer diet sodas. I have cut down to only 2 or 3 diet pepsis a day and I am drinking several bottles of water.

This weeks weigh in: 226 lbs!
Thats down 3 pounds from last week!
Like I said I feel good about the progress I have made this week.

Had a pretty good week I think. Did not lose a lot of weight as you will see in a minute but I did start getting into the routine of working out in the afternoons.

Friday 2/23/07 Weigh In: 229lbs.

OK so that is only 1lb down this week. I am a little disappointed because I did work pretty hard this week and I have really tried to stay on track with eating better, but I think getting into the routine is just as important as losing the weight. I will keep working at it and eventually I will get into a routine and get a handle on my diet, then I should see better results.

Sandy (my wonderful wife) and I are headed out of town for the weekend. It has been a really stressful week at work for the both of us and we just need a break. We are headed down to Ocracoke Island, NC - one of our favorite places to go. We are packing some healthy snacks and I will try to control myself at Howard’s Pub (the food there is AWESOME). Will do a lot of walking and bike riding around the island so it should be a good weekend.

Have a good weekend. Be back on Monday.

I just finished my afternoon workout. I try to do at least 45 minutes on my elliptical machine 3 or 4 times a week. I enjoy working out on the elliptical and I always feel good when I complete a workout on it.

I currently weigh-in at 230 lbs. Now this is not the heaviest I have ever been, several years ago I was pushing nearly 300 lbs, but I have also been right much lighter. My goal is to get down to (and maintain) somewhere around 195 lbs.

The purpose of this site is more for myself motivation, to help me try to stay on target, keep track of what I am doing. If someone else enjoys reading it or maybe even gets some useful info out of that would be a plus.

I am not sure exactly what I am going to write about here. I am not a writer by any means, if you read this you will probably notice that my grammer and spelling are just shy of terrible. I will probably try to post a few times a week, if not more often. I think I will most likely post at least one weighin a week and I will try to pick an afternoon that I am able to post this on the samel day every week.

Later this week I will probably post a bit on what I think about diets and gyms.

Now it’s off to the shower and then to figure out what is for dinner.
