Good morning!!!
Good weigh-in today at 277.0lbs… I feel pretty good considering that I got 4 hours sleep last night and I feel like being pulled in 20 different directions. If I felt like I did even a couple months ago, I would think this is the time I would have collapsed and gave up! Those who say your physical health doesn’t affect your emotional/mental life are not facing reality. Of course it does! Besides, it’s March 2nd and I am so excited for Spring I couldn’t even begin to explain! Time to get some projects done and get OUTSIDE… Time to sweat a bit, time for some “fun” and beneficial exercise at the benefit of the outside of the house (inside too)…
Don’t you just love Spring??!!!

It’s March!!!! My goal for February was to get through it without going the WRONG direction. Well, I have accomplished that goal.. Weighed in this morning at 277.8 (which is around 10lbs less than the first day of February)!!!! My goal for this month is another 10lbs, at 267lbs by April 1st.. Come on now!!!!
I haven’t weighed 277 or anything below it for several years! I am already feeling better, even though my crazy work schedule and life have shortened my sleep. However, I am at least able to face it without being completely exhausted. So long as I keep going with this, I know that I will only get to feeling even better. No one who has been through this ever realizes how they felt when they were bloated overweight until they get it off. I am persuaded that those who get it off never want it back again.
God, continue to give me the courage and the strength to make it to 200lbs!!! I know that you can give me the strategies!!
One final thought to those who are on this journey with me… Spacing out and eating 5 meals a day ISN’T just a way to keep your tummy happy and full. Your metabolism is jumpstarted!!! It puts it into hyperdrive, especially if your taking Multi-vitamins and B-12 as I am at the tune of 6000-8000 units…

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…
Michael
