Weekly Weigh-In - Week 16 / 17 – Hmm…Well I knew it wasn’t going to be easy.

So I find it hard to come up with anything to say when I gain weight in a weigh-in. Last Wednesday I know I only went from 365.2 to 366.2 but I sure felt like crap. Just couldn’t bring myself to type anything up. I’ve upped my gym time to a Minimum of 50 minutes and I go Monday – Thursday. Friday’s night are typically a write off and I tried to go last weekend but the gym that I go to is a mad house both Saturday and Sunday morning. Sunday Nights are a little quieter but still require me to wait for a treadmill.

Today I weighed in at 365 so I was able to work that pound off and lose another 0.2. A loss is a loss is that way I chose to look at it and I will keep at it. I knew that this wasn’t going to be easy or happen overnight.  So 0.2 lbs loss in 2 weeks time is better than any gain.
I don’t know too much when it come to the gym, and I haven’t made a workout plan as of yet. Need to get some help with that but for now it’s been cardio, all treadmill, elliptical and bikes. Normally 30 - 60 minutes on the treadmill and then I work in some elliptical / bikes when I not feeling the walking. A start is a start, and this has to be better than nothing.

But week 20 I would like to have a full gym schedule set up and would like to be able to go for 5 days a week at least 1 hour a day. So I’m not that far away from this goal. I would like to be less than 350 lbs before Christmas 340ish even, but all keep at it.

People are starting to notice even though I don’t. Plus every week I have to put another hole in my belt so I must be doing something right. I’m continuing to input my stuff in to my iPod touch so I can keep track. I’ve also decided not to watch any of the biggest losers this year. Just don’t like it now that I’m trying to lose weight as well. They always seem to have big number each week and it does seem very safe.  I have been enjoying a pod cast that I found about a month ago called fat2fit radio. These guys seem to be very knowledgeable and always have real tips on getting lasting weight loss. Check them out @ www.fat2fitradio.com; they take real question and answer some every show and they also have a forum / support group and are also on face book. I’ve been looking forward to their weekly shows and have been using any tips a lot the way.
