Monday Morning Weigh-In #16

Well, I lost 2.8 pounds this last week so I'm up to a total lost of 70.8 pounds. Woo-hoo! I did get what I wanted for the past week so that's good. More news about my day coming up though...it was just a pretty strange, bad day.

Really????!!!

I hate football this year. I know I've said this before but I actually am serious. Dallas is completely terrible and fantasy football has been awful as has my picking of games. Oh well.

Today was pretty good. I slept in a little bit and with the extra hour of sleep, it made for a nice 8+ hours of sleep. I'm now watching the 2nd episode of the Walking Dead on AMC and it's pretty awesome! This has been a pretty great show so far and it's one of my favorite comics although I only read it in trade paperback form. I highly recommend it for anyone who hasn't watched it.

I guess I'm ready for this week. Got to get up in the morning for the gym and then I have a bunch of stuff to do at work. It'll be a busy week that's for sure. I'm hoping my weigh-in tomorrow is good and I've lost a couple of pounds. I know that I'll feel better if that's the case.

Lazy Saturday

I did alright at poker last night. Got my $20 back the first game but was 3rd out in the 2nd game. The games were fairly quick too so I was home at 10:00. Got to sleep in a little bit this morning and then had a lazy kinda day. I did laundry, ran a few errands and cleaned up a little bit. Exciting day, huh? It was a nice, relaxing day though. I had a good steak for dinner and ate really good today so I'm hoping for a good weigh-in on Monday. Even just a couple of pounds would make me very, very happy. If I can just get 2 pounds, I'll have lost 70 pounds....I'm just really hoping for that.

Sorry this has been so boring but it was just that kind of day.

Shuffle Up and Deal!!!

Gonna play some poker tonight. Hopefully I'll win some money as well tonight....I doubt it based on the rest of the year. I'm 10th this year out of 17 people in our poker league. It's just been a rough year....decent cards but just not good enough. I haven't had a problem too much with my play, I keep getting beat by "slightly" better hands.

Anyways, today was a pretty good day. I'm glad the workweek is over but I've got a whole heckuva lot of work for next week. I've got sooo much to do but I'm going to get through it. I've only got a little over 2 weeks to go before I get some vacation time so that will be nice. Just some time to lounge around after going to the gym.

Well, here's to a good weekend for everyone and hopefully a couple of pounds lost for me!!!!

Frustrated

I'm just not losing any dang weight and I'm eating the same and working my butt off!!!! Argh! It's not a bad frustrated where I'm going to quit or anything, just a little frustrated. I will say that clothes are still fitting better but I'm just not seeing the numbers go down. Sorry....just had to vent for a moment.

I've had a good week this week so far. Working out hard on the elliptical and getting in some really good weight workouts in addition to that. I've been taking the stairs at work again and am feeling pretty good although my legs feel like bricks by the time I get to the 3rd floor. Hopefully soon I'll make it to the 4th floor and then the 5th.

I'm glad that election day is over. I just don't care about it and am just so damn overjoyed that I don't have to see any more attack ad commercials for a loooooong time. I'm ready for 10,000 Christmas commercials. I want more with those awesome Coca Cola bears....not sure why but they always make me smile.

Just Some Random Monday Thoughts

After losing EOM on Friday I did have a weak eating day that day but nothing, NOTHING like the old days. Other than that though, my eating was good for the week and I worked out. I need to start doing the steps again though. I did them the first couple days of last week but didn't at the end of the week and today. I was carrying in some things this morning so going up the stairs would have been more difficult. That's no excuse though, I still should do it and I'm going to go up them tomorrow morning.

I did a little more strenuous workout this morning with both amount of weight and on the elliptical. I came out of it tired but in a good way and knowing I had done some good work. I just hope it'll translate for me next Monday so I can get November off to a good start.

I'd like to be around 90 pounds lost by the end of the year so with basically 9 weeks to go, I need to lose at least another 22 pounds which is approximately 2.5 pounds per week. My body just needs to kick it into gear and start burning some more fat dangit!! With working out though, I know I'll develop some muscle so that'll take the place of fat and that will lead to me bing leaner which will be nice. As long as I keep dropping some weight each week and clothes keep fitting better, that's what it's all about.

Monday Morning Weigh-In #15

I once again had a subpar week losing weight. I did lose 0.8 pounds this week to bring my 15 week total up to 68 pounds. Wow, getting to 70 lost has become a total uphill struggle!! I'm not discouraged although I wish I could've been 2-3 pounds. It's still a negative number though so every bit helps and that's how I'm looking at it.
