OMG I Do NOT Want to Go Anywhere NEAR a Scale

Well...we have been sucking it up on the diet home front over the past couple of weeks.  Spring Break was tough...then this past week I did not have the motivation to go to the gym, and then from Thursday until today I was in Little Rock, AR, for an academic conference, and I did not do a good job of maintaining the diet.

But, it happens.  It has happened to me before, and I'm sure it will happen again.  Tomorrow I will just be back to square one, with a weigh in and starting back at the gym.  Wish me luck!

Until Next Time...

Good afternoon everyone!

So, I went to the gym this afternoon and weighed myself, and was surprise to find the following...

My weight, as of March 1 is:

313 pounds

A loss of 1 pound from last week!

So, despite the crappy eating and lack of exercise from last week, I still lost weight!  That is exciting, haha.  But, I am back on track from here, trying to reach my goal of losing 35 pounds by graduation.  I have 10 weeks until then, so we will see how much I can lose in that amount of time.  I have lost 6 pounds since I began on January 11, averaging out to 1 pound a week since then.  I would be content with being below the 300 pound mark by graduation, but I will still strive to lose 29 more pounds by then, that's an average of 3 pounds a week, which is doable.

I did notice something over the past few weeks, when I was eating poorly and not exercising, and that is that I felt horrible.  My headaches came back, my back and legs started to hurt again, my stomach was yucky...all the issues that were reconciled with proper eating and regular exercise came back as soon as I started drinking soda, quit exercising, and gave up.  If for nothing else, I have to do this because I feel better...soooooo much better!

Until Next Time...

Diet Fail...

I am horrible at this, aren't I?  I am so sorry to all of my dear readers for not updating in several days.  Since I last wrote we have had about 4 inches of snow here in North Carolina, and I have been preoccupied with sledding, hanging out with friends, and snow days.  The weekend was so much fun.  We went out to dinner on Friday night for my roommate Eric's birthday to this great restaurant called "Smoke on the Square."  Snow started falling that evening and we all made it back home safely.  The weekend was so much fun.


But, enough about that, to the stuff you all REALLY want to know about, the weigh in and dieting and exercise and such.  Well, let me tell you, it didn't go so well.  I weighed this morning...

My weight, as of February 2 is:

312 pounds

A gain of 1 pound from last week!

Well shoot...but, that's alright.  I will survive!!!

This week I am going to work out as hard as I can, eat right (as much as possible), and limit going out to eat.

I will lose weight for next week!

Until Next Time...
