Quick Update

Down 3 pounds my first week. Can and will do better, as long as Riley's b-day party and Thanksgiving (within 5 days of each other) don't derail me.

Gonna be a challenging week.

Ugh.

This sounds familiar, huh:

"Got lazy. Let myself go. A lot of work to make up."

I'm pushing HARD through the end of the year, and I'm doing with true purpose, this time. Check this page out for more info, and if you can join us, please do. We need all the help we can get!

Getting Fit for the Fight

Checking in on a Sunday Morning

About to walk out the door but wanted to let people know that I'm still here, and fighting. I made some bad choices about 2 weeks ago, and I've been fighting back down since then. I weighed in this morning, and I hit a new low of 283.8.

I am now down 23.4 pounds since May 26, 3.8 pounds from by August weight loss goal, 13.2 pounds from the lowest weight I hit during my initial transformation, and a still-depressing 33.8 pounds from my final goal of 250.0.

Still need to improve in many areas (self-control, making myself work out, focus), but I'm thrilled to be where I am, noting I had temporarily hit 312 in early May.

I'll try to do better keeping up with the blogs, too. Sorry for not commenting like I should. I'll get better.

Have a great day, all.

Quick Update

Nobody blogging anymore? Come on, peeps. Get it together, and let's get out here and keep everybody updated!

As for me, I had a bad week or so. Jumped back up to 294 and change for a couple days, as we had some bad dinners, and followed them with bad snacks.

Long story short, I have worked my way back down to a new low - 285.6. Very much on pace to hit my 8.31 goal, so that's good. I'm also exactly 15 pounds from my lowest point during my first run at this a couple of years ago. Looking forward to getting into those 260's this time.

Have a great weekend, all.

Goal!

Keep it short and sweet today...NAILED my goal for July. KILLED it. It had NO CHANCE.

Today's Weight: 286.4
Yesterday's Weight: 288.2
Change: -1.8
Total Weight Lost: 20.8
Pounds to Goal C: 6.4

> I hit my goal 14 days early
> I crossed the 20-lb lost mark
> I'm now 6.4 pounds from my AUGUST 31 goal

I'd like to lose another 2.4 pounds this month, which I think I should be able to pull off. Going into August four pounds from my goal would be a nice feeling.

Everybody have a great weekend!

Don't Panic, it's Just a Plateau

My last five weigh-ins:

288.2
288.2
289.8
288.0
288.2

My body likes 288. Too bad it doesn't have final say in things.

Yesterday got away form me pretty fast, as I got busy, and never recovered. So, today I'll try again with the walk/exercise thing. Maybe tomorrow will be the 287 day. Here's hoping.

When Will I Hit 287?

Today's Weight: 288.0
Yesterday's Weight: 289.8
Change: -1.8
Total Weight Lost: 19.2
Pounds to Goal B: 1

I am one pound away from hitting my goal, which I hoped to hit by 7.31. I see no reason I can't nail that tomorrow. I'm going to do everything in my power to kill it, actually. Take the kids for a walk, do some push ups, hit the perfect pull up, and hopefully play basketball again tonight.

I've played the last two nights, actually. Nothing major, just some playful stuff with my brother and nieces, and even a little with Beck last night.

If I can do all those things, and make sure my diet is spot-on today, I'll expect to see a 287 - or under - tomorrow morning at 8:30.

And that would rock.

Ka-Pow!

Last night was the worst I've eaten in WEEKS. Bad carbs, junk food...here's the menu:

Two beef hot dogs on white buns
1.5 cups of baked beans
8 Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies

In other words, it's not that bad. There are cookies left, and there are two hot dogs left. I ate what I wanted, then stopped. It's all about moderation.

In exchange for eating wisely, my weight stayed the same, keeping me at my newest low - 288.2. So, I'm still well on pace to hit 287 by Saturday morning, roughly two weeks before my goal date.

Sunday Check-In

Accidentally ate way too little yesterday. I think I topped off at around 800 calories. By the time things slowed down and I could eat dinner, it was almost midnight, so I decided to wait for breakfast.

Anyway, here's the numbers:

Today's Weight: 288.2
Yesterday's Weight: 289.6
Change: -1.4
Total Weight Lost: 19.0
Pounds to Goal B: 1.2

So, I have 19 days to lose 1.2 pounds. I think I can handle that. In fact, I think I'm going to unofficially change my goal for 7.31 to 284 pounds. We'll see how that goes.

Two days in a row under 290 makes me happy. I want to hit my goal of 287.0 by a week from this morning. That brings me in two weeks early.

Weight Loss Visualized

Today's weigh-in is pending. I'm assuming I'll be right around 290. Just wanted to post this to show the benefit of tracking your weight loss and 5-day average. Even though your body may fluctuate, if you keep doing what needs to be done, it'll all even out.

Have a great weekend!

That's the Way (uh-huh, uh-huh) I Like it.

Today's Weight: 289.2
Yesterday's Weight: 291.0
Change: -1.8
Total Weight Lost: 18
Pounds to Goal B: 2.2

It's the power of diet that makes this happen. I haven't eaten after 9 in weeks. Haven't had a real cheat meal in weeks. Haven't had any real sweets (candy, donuts, cake, etc.) in weeks. I've been eating 98% perfect since early June, and that's why I'm now down 18 pounds.

I'm a little more active, sure. But I haven't really been working out, in the traditional sense of the words. This is a diet-induced weight loss.

I'm now just 2.2 pounds away from my July goal of 287.0. I doubt I'll hit it in the next week, as my body is now due for a move in the wrong direction that will last for a few days. But should my body decide not to fluctuate, it's realistic that I'd hit my goal in a week or less.

The lesson here is to control...maybe even "master" your diet. One bad meal can set you back 3-4 days, no matter how much exercise you're getting. Get that under control, and you can lose the weight you need.

Good way to go into the weekend...

Two Hours From Now...

I could be under 291.

As my body likes to do, it took a big drop after a recent gain. My early-morning weight was 291.2 or 291.4. I couldn't get it to read the same thing twice. Either way, assuming my body continues to adjust at it's average of .8 down in the next two hours, it would put me somewhere in the mid 290 range.

My body frustrates the tar out of me, sometimes. I'll hit a new low, then jump up two pounds. It'll take me two days to drop that, and on the third day, I'll drop another two pounds. So, I end up at the same weight, no matter what. It just takes me an extra 2-3 days to get there.

I kept trying to tell myself that the scale was wrong, since I was upper 293s yesterday. But then I remember that I logged a 292.6 on Monday, so I'm on a pace of two pounds this week.

It all evens out.

Official weigh-in coming at 8:30 MST.

Fingers crossed.

Not Gonna Like This

My non-official weight at 7am: 294.8

My weights from 7 to 8:30 haven't been changing much in recent mornings, which means I'm looking at an ugly weigh-in. I know why it's here, but it's still annoying: Carbs and Sodium. Had the turkey brats with a cup-ish of bbq baked beans.

Now, I was under my 2,400 max by a good 400 calories, but with all the sodium and carbs in dinner, it can override any calorie win you have.

So, we'll see what 8:30 brings. I'm guessing 294, which puts me back where I was 3-4 days ago. It'll come off fast, but it doesn't make it enjoyable.

The good news is that my 5-day average still dropped, albeit barely. I just need to go low-carb/high-water today, find something active to do, and see that tomorrow brings.

Sigh.

Expected the weight to go up a little, as that's just what my body does. I'll rarely have consecutive new lows. I can handle going .2 in the wrong direction, as long as it doesn't become a trend.

Was informed last night that I could be helping unload 4-5 tons of rocks, and 2 tons of sand this weekend. Fine by me. It was a great workout.

Carry on...

Rock On

Yesterday might have been my most effective and tiring workout ever. Yes, ever.

My brother is landscaping his back yard. Part of the process includes laying some rock around a sidewalk.

Day one consisted of 2.14 tons of rock, packed nicely in his truck bed. Our job was to manually unload the rocks from the truck to the wheel barrow, then from the wheel barrow to the back yard. It was about 2.5 hours of digging, lifting, twisting, pulling, squatting...you get the picture. I was sore, wasted, fatigued...thrilled.

Possible we'll do this 3-4 more times this summer, maybe even again tonight.

Anyway, I'm only 5.6 pounds from my goal of 287 by 7.31. I want to kill that. I'd love to be 3-4 pounds past that by then, but we'll see. An unofficial goal is to see a 290 by Friday, which seems feasible, but you never know.

Alright, hope everybody had a great 4th!

My Bad

Quickly:

We celebrated an early Friday with some beverages and snacks. Nothing awful, but more than we needed, and we did it after 10pm. Becky made out pretty well, but I put on a pound. Not overly concerned with it, as it was planned, and it's a pound...as long as I can get it back off tomorrow, and be back on my way by Monday morning.

Beck's off today, and she has no side work, so we'll take the kids to the field and play some soccer, or do something else active.

Everybody have a great 4th, and remember why we celebrate it!

Not Getting Too Excited

Total Weight Lost: 14
Pounds to Goal B: 6.2

Good news: Took 1.8 pounds off from yesterday. Just ate clean, and made sure to stay active around the house.
Bad news: My body likes to screw with me. I'm bracing for a fluctuation or a plateau any day now. Maybe not this time around, but history says it'll happen.

Still, as of right now, I'm only 6.2 pounds from my goal, and I have 28 days to get there. So, that means tomorrow is pizza and ice cream, since I have time to make it up!

Not really. Not taking any chances this time around. I'd like to destroy this goal. That's my...goal.

The Great Eight

Today's Weight: 295.0
Yesterday's Weight: 295.6
Change: -.6
Total Weight Lost: 12.2
Pounds to Goal B: 8

Alright, so it's an even eight. On July 31st, I need to have lost exactly eight pounds from what I weigh on July 1st.

Won't be easy, given my body's love of fluctuations, but I think that eight in 29 days is doable.

Also worth noting that I topped the 12 pounds lost point this morning, and this is my lowest confirmed weight since November of 2008.

More later, if needed.

Back On Track

Got more active the last 48 hours, ate 100% clean yesterday, drank more water, and was nicely rewarded with my second 295.6 - tying my lowest number on v2.0 of this weight loss thing.

So, tomorrow is July 1. Thirty days from tomorrow I need to see a 287.0 on my scale. So, depending on what it reads tomorrow, I need to be down 8.6 pounds in 30 days. My goal is to see at least a 294.8 tomorrow. Knowing that I have less than 8 pounds to lose in a month could be the psychological boost I need to push me through the rough days.

And my eating is going to need to be be 99% spotless, too. I'm down 11+ pounds now, but it's taken me an extra week to get there because of a couple of bad meal choices. One bad day can add 3-4 to your weight-loss journey. Not worth it.

Alright, that's all for today. Fingers crossed for something under 295 tomorrow.

Not much to say. Weight went up over the weekend, even though my eating wasn't really out of line. It wasn't GREAT eating, but it was kept in check at all times. I'm thinking my 295.6 from last week was a fluke.

So, time to take it up a notch. Wednesday is July 1, and I want to be in the low 295s by then. That would leave me with roughly 8 pounds to lose in July. Better yet would be being under 295, but I won't push it.

Also, WOW:

So, let's recap:

WTF, is right.

Dinner was carb heavy, and I get that. BBQ chicken sandwiches with maybe a cup of brown rice. I ate a BIG dinner because I'd only had about 500 calories going into dinner. And I wasn't feeling great, so I did pretty much nothing active.

Still, TWO FULL POUNDS UP?

Today, I'll be shocked and confused, but I'll eat clean, try to do something active, and see what happens tomorrow. If it's still an ugly weight, I'll upgrade "shocked" to "angered."

Simply put, I over-carbed, snuck a couple of cookies, and ate after 9. I brought it on myself.

But I need to get a hold of this NOW so it doesn't turn into a trend. Up 1.2 pounds in two days isn't good.

296s tomorrow.

No Damage Done

Well, I splurged a little for Father's Day weekend. Had a piece of leftover birthday cake, had Chinese for Dad's Day, ate after 9pm one night - animal crackers are awesome - and I got up today to see a weight I can deal with: 297.2. Only .6 pounds up from my lowest of this round of loss.

So, had some fun, enjoyed some food, and came out of it unscathed. Now I focus on the goal of hitting 287 by the end of next month.

I feel good about the chances, but I need to really buckle down and stay on top of it. I missed Goal A by a day, and I want to beat Goal B by a day to make up for it.

The poop juice didn't work, so I may try something else today. This bloated and crampy feeling has gotsta go. Other than that, another decent drop, and I am well on my way to Goal B.

Also, tried on my old size 38 jeans today (I wear 40). Been a while (January?) since I could get into them. Still a little snug, but they buttoned. I'd guess by 292 they'll be good to go.

Have a great weekend.

My "first" ten pounds are down, leaving me with 10.2 to go by the end of July. Not a ton to report, otherwise. Very modest loss today, but not every day can bring a 1-pound drop. And anything is better than up, so no complaints here.

Well, ONE complaint. I'll be drinking a bottle of magnesium citrate tonight. I won't get into what that does, but feel free to google it if you're curious. We'll just say that it's been five days, and it's getting a little frustrating/annoying/painful. Curious to see how it impacts my weight, assuming it works.

OK, that's all. Chime in and say hey if anybody's out there. It's good to be back!

My early-morning weigh-in was 297.8. I'll do it again at 8:30 and see where I sit. But even if it doesn't budge, I'll be thrilled. Why is that?

Well, yesterday was my birthday. Dinner was pizza, dessert was cake. The pizza was covered in six kinds of meat. The cake was covered in peanut butter, chocolate frosting, and mini peanut butter cups.

What a great way to derail a diet...

Unless you're ready for it.

I ate clean all day, and made sure I left some room, calorie-wise. I had two pieces of pizza (well below my average), and one piece of cake. I never even went near the leftovers.

So, there's your proof that you can have your cake, eat it, too...and still lose weight. It's all about self-control. If you have it, you can do this.

I have it.

Hoping for a Moral Victory

Weigh in is still about an hour away, so I don't know how close or far I am from my goal of 297.2 this morning. My gut says I'll probably be around 300.0.

While I've just kind of assumed I won't be anywhere near the goal weight, I am still hoping that I can somehow come in under 300. If I can do that, I'll consider it a small win...and then I'll go after Goal B: 287.0 by July 31.

I'll be back at 8:30 or so with the update...

Not Much to Say

Today's Weight: 303.0

So, unless I can lose 5.8 pounds tomorrow, my goal is way screwed. Which REALLY pisses me off, noting that I was 299.8 a week ago.

Not happy.

I Have Underestimated the Power of the Dark Side

And by "Dark Side," I mean dieting while on vacation.

Here's the Cliff's Notes version:

First two days at the lake were rainy and cold, so we spent 90% of our time huddling in our tents to stay warm. Food was pretty normal: sandwiches, chicken breasts, zone bars. But our activity level was non-existent. I did get up those first two mornings and took the dog for a short walk, and then did a couple sets of push ups. "A" for effort.

Last two days were MUCH nicer. Hot and sunny. Got out on the boat, took the jet ski for some rides, sat out in the sun to get tan. Sounds great until you realize that, essentially, I was still just sitting around and eating. Quality of food worsened as the week went on, too. First two days was turkey burgers and grilled chicken. Last two were chili, burritos, Fritos, and candy bars. And maybe some beverages of the adult nature that increased my desire to eat more of the above-listed foods.

Still, through it all, I don't think I can look back and see a point where I took the proverbial truck and drove it off of a cliff. Wasn't perfect, but I feel I did enough to warrant a decent weigh-in this morning. Even when my foods weren't great, I was keeping things in check...I thought.

Yeah...not so much. At 6:30, I weighed 304.6. That's 4.8 pounds up from Tuesday morning. My normal weigh in time is 8:30, so I'm still about an hour away from that. Maybe something crazy happens where my body adjusts back down, but I highly doubt it.

What this means is that, in reality, hitting my goal of 297.2 by Wednesday morning is going to be nearly impossible. As of right now, I'd need to drop 7.4 pounds in 48 hours. That's really depressing, noting that I was at 299.8 less than a week ago.

So, we'll see what 8:30 brings, and we'll go from there. I'm sure a lot of this is water weight and carb weight, so I'll be eating VERY clean the next two days, and seeing if that makes a difference.

Needless to say, I'm not real happy right now.

Heck-to-the-Yeah

My official goal is 297.2 by a week from tomorrow, meaning I have 8 days to lose 2.6 pounds. Not too worried about that. In fact, I plan on coming back from camping at that weight or under. We'll see on Monday.

My un-official goal was to be 300 or under by the time we left tomorrow morning, and I am. Feeling pretty good about the situation right now, but I still have a LONG way to go. As a reminder to myself, and to those still reading, I started out at 366, made my way to 270, and was recently back as high as 312.

This time, the train don't stop til she gets to 250.

So what am I doing? How have I dropped almost 7 pounds in less than two weeks? Pretty simple, really. I've just clamped down on my diet, and made myself get more active, in general. My diet has been just about spotless since I started this (save for a few cupcakes), and I've done SOMETHING active just about every day.

What qualifies as active? Taking a walk with my daughters, cleaning the house, dancing (with my daughters, not in public), doing laundry...nothing major. I'm just forcing myself to do things I don't always do, and I'm getting my heart rate up in the process.

But the diet is the key, here. I haven't been counting, but I know enough about what I eat to easily guesstimate that I haven't topped 2,200 - 2,400 in the last 8 days or so. And they've been clean calories. The worst thing I've eaten in the last 13 days was some potato salad.

It's small steps. You can't drop to your ideal weight in 10 days...unless you only want to lose 5 pounds, I guess. Little changes combine to yield big results.

Looking GREAT to hit 297.2 by the 17th. In fact, I'd like to KILL that number. With going camping this week (lots of water sports, walks, heat), I think it's possible.

Anyway, I gotta say that it is great to be back. This, sadly, is the lightest I've been in months, and I'm enjoying it.

Not sure if I can do 300.0 by Wednesday morning when we go camping, but I'm going to stay extra active and eat extra clean for the next 72 hours to see. When we go camping it's hikes, jet skiing, sweating in the sun...so I think I'll come back in a good position to go after 297 by the 17th.

But we shall see...

Peace out.

Short and sweet today...

Full Hover Mode

My last five weigh-ins:

305.6
305.2
305.2
306.2
305.8

Now, I haven't been as active as I'd like. Schedule, kids, work efforts, etc. I know...all excuses, and I need to just deal with them. Also, food hasn't been awesome. It's been above average, but there was a birthday mixed in there, and some cupcakes and potato salad were eaten. For two days.

And now I'm dealing with some of that back pain you all got to read so much about in the olden days of the blog.

But the difference is, this time, I wish I could be doing more and better. In the last few months, I didn't care - at all.

So today I'll take the kids for a walk, and depending on how things go tonight when Becky gets home, and if my back is alright, I may try to drop and do some pushups and situps.

Though it doesn't look good now, I'd still like to see 297 in the next 13 days. I suppose it's still possible.

Oops.

People, check your nutritional info before you eat something.

Long story short, we normally eat turkey sausages as hot dogs, and I have that caloric info memorized. But, I didn't realize we got a different type of sausage this time, and I took out three without blinking. They were double the calories and sodium, and it screwed me up big time.

So, I took out 1,200 calories JUST for dinner. Needless to say, that put me WAY over for the day. I had a bowl of cereal for desert because I thought I had the extra calories, but I actually didn't. Instead of 2,400 calories, I was closer to 3,500.

Which brings us to this bit of ugliness:

Today's Weight: 308.2
Yesterday's Weight: 305.2
Change: +3.0
Total Weight Lost: -1
Pounds to Goal A: 11

So now I've GAINED a pound on my quest to lose 10 by 6-17. I'm clean today, getting some movement and activity in, and drinking lots of water, so I'm sure most of that wull come back off quickly, but getting to 297 in 19 days? Might be tough, now.

Ate most of a P'Zone yesterday, which was bad. Luckily, it didn't kill me calorie-wise. I was down .4, which is better that up any day.

Not much else to report...just another day.

Nice day yesterday. Very solid eating - 100% clean. Nice breakdown of P/F/C. Worked out...push ups, sit ups, band curls, knee raises.

Not bad for Day One.

Screw This

You know, I could spend the time coming up with all sorts of excuses as to where I've been, why I switched blogs, why I'm still over 300...but all that matters is that I gotsta stop it all.

Long story short, I need to get back to what I know works, and there's no magic formula for it. Eat better, eat less, get active - lose weight. I've done it before. A few times.

So, I'm back at Square One, in more ways than one.

No fancy visualizations, no photoshops, no crazy goals and dreams...just losing weight.

Here's my return to accountability. My 33rd birthday is in 22 days, and I have some things I need to do by then. For one, I need to get out of the 300s for good. It's gotta stop, and it stops here.
