I continue to hover around 283.4. I was around 282.4 yesterday so I keep either loosing a lb or gaining a lb, probably due to water gain. I keep thinking about it this way. I have lost a bowling ball of weight. That’s a good little bit if you really think about it! I have noticed already with my clothes. I am sure not ready for a new wardrobe yet, but shirts fit a bit loose and the belt needs a NEW custom hole. I have run out of holes to put the buckle into. You have to feel good about that…
Fit Camp class tonight for more workout on the CORE. My Abs are already screaming, but they shall comply. As the weather starts to improve a bit, more activity outside the house will help keep me going strong. For the first time in my life, I am actually looking forward to working in the yard! You gotta love that…

Good morning friends!! Well it’s been a crazy life around here lately as far as fitness goes. I have been fighting flu/cold, who knows what since the first day of the month! I am finally getting rid of it. As far as regular workouts, well it’s been spotty. I have attended FitCamp classes, the most recent of which I stretched something a bit too far in my lower back. So today’s workout was a bit “modified” and not as intense.
However, the best news of all is in the weight department. Despite all the setbacks I feel have taken place, I am weighing in at 283.8 this morning! I think of it this way, I have lost a bowling ball since Christmas. I have lost almost 20% of my total goal for 2011. I am on my way there.. So, if I keep looking at it that way, I can rejoice on the housetops!!!!!
Anyone out there have any tips on how to nurse a sore lower back due to exercise? I am all ears…

Good morning Friends! This weekend I weighed in at 285.8, thus reaching my goal for January only 5-6 days late. That’s not bad again considering my setbacks. Well I had another one last night thanks to the Packers and their win in the Superbowl. I had too much of a Superbowl of chicken wings, thus I weighed in at 287.8 this morning.. Those 2 pounds must go!!! Got back in the gym finally today, even though I am still recovering from sickness. It felt GREAT!!

Good morning friends! Well today is February 1, 2011 and I can look at things one of two ways, GOOD OR BAD. First, I have lost about 13 lbs since I started all this on Christmas day. With the setbacks and things I have encountered in January, I have MAINTAINED this weight loss. I have identified the weaknesses I do have, and how those things have contributed to my 32 + years of bad habits. I have learned what I need to continue to do and what I need to do for the rest of this weight to come off. Those are very good positives.
My goal for January was 285lbs. I missed it weighing in this morning at 288.2lbs. That’s only 3.2lbs off folks. I am VERY thankful and I will take it. But as any competitive person would say, they are never happy for second place. I am happy with the accomplishment that has been made, but I am NOT satisfied. There is much more to loose!! There is much more to do!! I am not accepting second place, so, LETS DO IT!!!!
This month’s goal I have made for myself is 275lbs by the end of February. I think it’s doable considering my results last month doing what I have been doing so far. This month we ramp up to do even more! Lord give me strength and ability to do it!!
