My little boy is at home with me today. I took off to take care of him. He has a bit of a cold. It is super-beautiful outside. I am still trying to get over being sick, and I haven’t made it to the gym in FIVE DAYS. Trust me, I am NOT slacking. I have had a terrible head cold for the better part of two weeks… I plan to be back at the gym tomorrow at 5AM. (How sick? I went to bed at 5PM Friday Night and 6PM Saturday Night…) As for my weight, it is holding steady between 230 and 232. I’ve eaten at the “upper limit” of my calories, so I plan to refocus tomorrow. Still, I “feel” so much better (about myself) and I’m not eating poorly.

Today, I was filmed by a camera crew out of Atlanta. They were doing a special about my debt reduction. Needless to say, for those of you who wanted to “see” what I look like, you’ll get your chance. Oh boy. As for the diet, I must admit that the last 2 days have be ROUGH. I’ve been sick, and so have my two kids. But, I’m going to the grocery store tomorrow morning and I’m ready to rock-n-roll. I’ve consumed my very last Diet Mountain Dew… sigh… (Here’s my Daughter’s “Line of the day”… Just before the camera crew gets here, she says, “Oh Daddy, you’re going to be on tv! No WONDER you’ve been trying to lose weight!” Classic. My daughter rocks! Yikes. I’m going to be on radio and TV. For full details, check out this post over at No Credit Needed. My daughter has the flu and I’m sick. We spent most of yesterday at the doctor’s office. I am eating well, but my focus (obviously) is on her and getting her well. I am staying home with her while she’s out of school. As for the Diet Mountain Dew, I’m down to about 1/2 liter. Yikes! Oh well, it was “nice” while it lasted. I’m taking small sips, enjoying every drop… I have (at least) five reasons for losing weight that have nothing to do with “looking good”. 1. I have Sleep Apnea. I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea three years ago. (Side note: If you wake up “tired” or you snore, you may have Sleep Apnea, a potentially DEADLY condition. Get tested!) Hopefully, as I lose weight, my symptoms will dissipate. 2. I have “lower-back pain”. While this may or may not have something to do with the fact that I am overweight, I am sure that losing a few pounds will less the strain on my back. 3. I take Lunesta, a sleep aid. I have had trouble going to sleep for the past ten years. I’ve been taking Lunesta for the last year or so. Before I began to lose weight, I was taking it every night. Now, I take Lunesta once or twice a week. Proper exercise helps me to go to sleep without using Lunesta. 4. I want to be able to “run and play with the kids”. Seriously, before I began this site, I was lethargic and lazy. Now, I have more energy. 5. I hate spending money on “junk food”. As you can tell from my main blog, No Credit Needed, I believe in living a “frugal” life. Buying junk does NOT equal being frugal. |
