still not happy, but it could be worse

starting weight: 375

Last weight: 355

Current Weight: 358

change: +3

i should be upset, and to some point i am. i also know that this weigh in could have much, much worse. so i guess i am kinda happy with this. i didn't work out as much as i would have liked this week due to illness and work. i feel like i am back on track now though. i have started to walk more since the weather is nicer and i am going to have more time on my hands since spring break is coming up.

my goal this week: i really want to weigh in next week below 350. i know this is a lofty goal, but as my grade school principal used to say "if you reach for the moon and don't get there you still get all the stars" ...which if you think about it total bull shit. stars are millions of light years away and i can pretty much piss on the moon from my roof cause it is so close. so if you reach for the moon and don't get there all you are left with is the empty vacuum of space, which would kinda suck. there is no air to breath and i bet you cant even get cable up there; although i'm guessing if you got dish tv your reception would be great. what i'm getting at is that is a horrible saying and possibly the reason i am not an astronaut. just saying.

not happy

so i didn't post before britt and i went out foe the weekend and i'm sorry. i didnt have time while packing up and getting out of town. i didnt think it would be that big of a deal missing one weigh in but apparently that was just step one of my weekend of self destruction.

i was not good on vacation. every meal was fried with french frys and beer, and wine, and desert, and sugar, and fat. pretty sure i gained 40 pounds in 3 days. i'm not going to weigh in right now, i'm going to give myself the rest of the weekto try to make up for it and do a normal weigh in on saturday.

i've got a big hole to dig out of. my goal for the week is to get back to what i weighed in last week.

Early Weigh In

Greetings,

I am weighing in this morning since Pete and I are going to Door County this weekend for what I consider a "mini-honeymoon".

Previous: 235.2

Current: 234.0

Difference: - 1.2lbs

That is more like it!

I really tried to cut back on food intake this week. I didn't get to work out even once because I was sooooo busy with working this week. I am doing some extra projects right now for the Y which is taking up the little time I would actually have to work out. Plus I had a big interview so I was a nervous reck!

My interview this week went really well, I think. Look for the results on Facebook when I get them. This job would allow me to have a somewhat normal life and maybe someday be able to have a workout schedule. Here's hoping.....

Another Weigh In - Blah

20 down ...lets keep going!!

mid-terms over ...back to life

i am the king of mid-terms! rocked those bitches.

i have been thinking about joining a private gym of one. just me. i cant stand when i go to work out and there are people already there working out, how dare they. now, i should say that most of the people i don't mind, but there are a few that when i see them in the window as i walk up i really feel like turning around and walking home. let me introduce you to a few.

~'old smelly guy' this guy plays the TV at full volume while watching either 'the view' or some awful black and white movie that no one has ever heard of. i wouldn't mind him so much if he didn't follow me to the water fountain EVERY time i get a drink and try to spark up a conversation with me and the only thing i want to talk to him about is how bad his breath is. it smells like a combination of coffee, ass, and dry cat food.

~'skinny pink bitch' this lady is always dressed in something pink. pink shirt, pink shorts, pink shoes, pink hair tie, pink shoe laces. and she has no need to work out and normally she does almost nothing anyway, WHY IS SHE HERE??? she does a lot of stretching and then lifts the 5 pound weight twice and walks around for a while then comes back an lifts them four times. that would not be so annoying if she didn't do it right in front of the weight rack so i have to reach around or in front of here to get some weights so then i feel like a perv. if you are not going to work, dont get in my way so i can...seriously.

~everyones favorite 'the grunter' this guy is not in the gym very often but when he is there he makes it unbearable for everyone. i would have to say that this grunter is not your typical grunter. he is not overly huge, he looks like a runner or anorexic. he is so loud and he is not lifting THAT much weight, like his dumb bell pressing 30 pounds...no need to scream like you are getting an intimate waxing. and when you are done with your set...no need to throw the weights down and walk around like you just scaled everest and your are king shit. you are not king shit, you are lame.

i feel better. thanks for listening.

weigh in saturday morning before work

song of the day "I've Just Seen a Face" from the Across the Universe sound track ...such a great movie. it gets a little trippy in the middle, but if you can get past that it is a good movie.

pete weigh in 2/13/10

starting weight: 375

Last Weigh in: 362.2

Current Weight: 360.5

Difference: -1.7

not bad, i think any time i don't gain weight will be a win. more importantly though, i have been trying on shirts that didn't fit 20 days ago and now they do. i look hot in a pink shirt and white tie, don't lie, you know i'm right. so i think something i'm doing is working.

i have been doing a lot of reading on the benefits of lifting weights and i think that i'm going to get into that a little more even though it may mean my weight loss totals wont be as impressive because muscle weighs more than fat. so if i lose 3 pounds of fat and put on a pound of muscle i'll only be losing two pounds of mass, but i don't care.

this week i want to drink more water and eat more protein. also i want to get more sleep and continue to work out but this week with more lifting.

i wont be able to update much this week, i have mid terms and need to study...lame.
