Weekly Weight-In - Week 14 / 15 – A Rough Couple of Weeks

Like the title says, It’s really has been a rough couple of weeks. It took over a week and a half to get rid of this blister on my heel, so I wasn’t giving it 100% at the gym. Plus that fact that thanksgiving was on the Monday of week 14 helped with the 2 lbs that I put on that week. See holidays are always bad for me. I love together with family and have a meal. Which leads to eating and a lot of talking and that leads to not watching how much I eat, Needless to say the weight gain could have been a lot worst. Week 14 I was up from 367 lbs to 369. Then I picked up my sister in law from university and managed to get her cold which I sent the rest of the week in bed trying to get rid of. So week 14 was a write off.

Last Sunday, My Blister was finally healed, I was able to get rid of this cold and picked up and new pair of shoes. So I’m back to giving it 110% at the gym. This to my surprise really showed up this morning at my weight in. To tell you the truth all I all I wanted to do this week was loss back the weight that I gained last week. I was able to that and more, I was down to 365.2. I lost back the 2 that I put on and lost another 1.8 pounds.  I’m very happy to see this 3.8 lbs loss and was not expecting it. After the last few weight-ins, only being a pound or two. I would really like to see this being a bigger lost. Hopefully it will continue.

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.

Weekly Weight In – Week 9 & 10 – A Little R & What!?!

Sorry this is a little late, been busy the last few weeks. Week 9, I when on vacation and put on 2.4 pounds and was not happy about that. But I lost it back and another 1.8 pounds for week 10 which in my eyes wasn’t too bad seeing I drop below the 370 mark to 369.8 lbs. The other thing I wasn’t happy about was the fact that I step back from keeping track of my daily food intake; I have started that back up now that I’m back to my everyday routine. It’s really funny how much harder it is to continue this when your away from your day to day stuff.  Also in week 10 my wife talked me in to going and getting some new clothes earlier then I wanted. Something about the clothes looking like crap, just hanging off me and them being too big, I kind of liked them being too big for a change, it’s been a ever long time. But off we went. I’m down from 48 to 44 jean size and a shirt size. I haven’t been in a pair of 44 jeans since high school.   I think the biggest thing I’m looking forward to is being able to get better sleep, I hate feeling tired everyday and my doctor took me years ago that losing the weight will help that and it better.

Week 11, I hope will be another good week and I’ve also from someone to join me at the gym this time. My friend has been dealing with the same stuff his whole life as well so hopefully with can help each other stick with it….That’s all for now
