I’m still “Battling Obesity” … It was my birthday July 11th and I finally weighed in again. My last weigh in on May 2, 2007 .. I was at 272.5 lbs.
Last Wednesday, on my birthday .. July 11, 2007 … I weighed myself to be 273.0 lbs.
Nothing new here … after the April 30th deadline and adrenalin rush slow down occurred, and I was getting trying to get all of the “wakeup” pills out of my system too .. I found that I had problems getting back into the swing of things. Then, to make matters worse .. I suddenly realized that I should never have stopped because I am STILL super busy, and pounding to be meeting all of my deadlines before June 15th. I’ve got work deadlines of May 31st and June 30th that I think is under control .. if you call control having the work sit in a box next to your home office desk with a piece of paper stapled to the box with black in text .. “DO ME BEFORE MAY 31st” on it!
Yes .. I’m still battling my obesity problems. I’m not losing weight. However, I am not gaining weight. That in my head is stopping me from losing weight, because in my own very mind - I have been successful in the opposite of ways, by not gaining weight.
Wow. Has it been that long?
Thank-you for your patience during my slowdown, and starting tomorrow I should be back and running on this blog. More of what I do and have been doing will be centrally located on the 1 - 8 0 0 - H A R T blog.
As for my daily meals and counting points .. I had all the best intentions since my last April 14th weigh in and partially kept points and memos about what I was eating. The only thing that affecting me, is that I wasn’t really working 24 hour days .. I was working 28 hour days trying to squeeze a 6 day week into a 7 day week! (I know that sounds kooky). You see, I have been sooooooo busy with my work - it all had to get done. I was working around the clock, sometimes sleeping only 2 hours at a time and, it wasn’t always at night. Some morning at 3 am I would make me supper. Some days at about 4am I would make some breakfast pancakes. I know I certainly wasn’t eating 3 square meals a day, and some days all I was eating was snack food.
I took my camera out with me last weekend while we were out walking the dogs. Behind our condo complex, is the Sturgeon Creek. On both sides there are sidewalks and fields, and we can walk for miles and miles in either direction. The snow is just melting, and there is no green grass yet .. and the water levels are a bit high .. but it’s still nice to get out and walk the dogs. So, here are some pictures! I should be doing this more often, but the pictures usually end up on my Pet related blogs instead

I don’t get it. Yes - I have been doing ’some’ exercise - but, I still have not put it into second gear. This week, I seemed to have been eating MORE junk food, eating out MORE .. LESS exercise .. and I lost weight!
~wait~ I think I’m on to something! haha .. // Eat more! Excercise Less! Lose Weight!~
273.5 lbs
>> UP 1.5 lbs
>> YTD Down 8.5 lbs
Well, I seem to have lost my book after this weigh in was taken, and that pretty much says it all, right? When I lose track of my notebook that I write all my meals down .. you know something is wrong! I could say that there was also chocolate bunnies involved sometimes during the week, since Wednesday!
But - Up 1.5 lbs. NOT GOOD. My timing has been off and I’ve been eating supper in the afternoons, breakfast at night and snacking at my computer. The more I’ve exercised the more pain I get from exercising that yes.. yes .. “No Pain No Gain” but, it’s hard to exercise fully when you are in pain.
This was a short week, from Monday to Friday to re-shift my weigh-ins to Saturday Mornings now….. I accidentally threw out my little notepad that had all my meals on Sunday afternoon .. I will have recreated Saturday and Sunday .. but, all I have this week are pictures that I hardly took!
272.0 lbs
>> Down 1.5 lbs
>> YTD Down 10 lbs
I was also sickly Monday morning, and didn’t eat anything solid since suppertime Sunday Evening - taking shots of Crown Royal Whiskey and jumping under the covers. It’s Thursday morning now at the time of writing this, and I’m back up to .. well, the week isn’t over yet and I shouldn’t be weighing myself during the week - but I was curious as I reached my FIRST 10 POUNDS ~! I know, after 13 weeks it’s not that great. But, I could be at ZERO or even gained weight.
My Excercise routine has been steadily becoming a “routine” instead of the “whenever I go downstairs and get a file I should jump on a machine and do a few minutes of something” method! In the morning, before coffee and again at lunch time - I do two sets of the excercise bike and in the morning I’ve been adding the rowing machine routine. The amount of time I spend may not seem that much to many (1/2 hr at most each time or less) but I am getting my heart rate up, putting up a sweat and I think it counts :p
