Weekly Weight In - Week 12 / 13 – Gym = GO

I’m starting to head in the right direction again.  2 Weeks of weight coming off, September 30 was a drop of 2.4 lbs (370.6 down to 368.2) and this morning I was down another 1.2 lbs. Now sitting at 367 lbs, this now gives me a total weight loss of 35 lbs since I started 13 weeks ago. Not a bad start to a long overdue life overhaul.

In other news, I got a gym membership last Tuesday. I was very gun ho about the whole thing too, went Tuesday after work with my buddy and at the end of the workout I had a blister the size of a tennis ball on the back of my heel. It was very painful near the end of my work out and only ticked me off. I knew I was going to have to get some new shoes but I was hoping it would be after I had the chance to eat up some of the gym membership cost. None the less I continued to go Wednesday and Thursday nights, pushing though the pain. The weekend was a write off though, Friday I planned on as a break night to see if I could get this heal a little which turned in to Saturday and Sunday because I ended up helping with a roofing job. I didn’t get back to the gym till Monday after work and ten minutes in, the damn blister broke again and was worst than ever. Now this isn’t anything I need right now, I don’t need help with reasons not to go to the gym. But I pushed myself though it and I continued with Tuesday and plan on going tonight spite the pain. Next week I’m going shoe shopping so I’ll have to deal with it till then.

Also in other bad / kind of good news I started drinking pop again, now before anyone tries to cut off my head, Hear me out.  I found it very hard to stay away from high calorie drinks (Pop, Juices, Kool-Aid and Ice Teas) as up till this point they were 50 % of my daily liquid intake. I’ve always had a lot of water in the past, but always needed something to change it up from time to time. Now enters Zero calories sodas, Sprite Zero, Coke Zero, Pepsi Max, and Diet Dr. Pepper. To my surprise they all taste just as go and some even better then there high / empty calorie counter parts. I’m sitting at one a day so it’s not like I’m drinking a lot of them but it keep me to my plan of not drinking empty calorie drinks. So they stay for now.

So that’s all that I have new this week, I’m going to start posting some pictures later this month and adding some stuff in the weeks to come. Plus as always any comments below are always welcome.
