As added motivation to lose weight, I have decided to POST A PICTURE OF MYSELF… in 31 days! We are going on vacation at the end of May (to the BEACH, no less) and I HAVE to lose weight. In an effort to PUSH MYSELF to workout and eat right, I will post a picture of myself, right here, on this site, in 31 days. (I’ll be wearing shirts, shorts, shoes, etc. This, my friend, is a family friendly site! 
So:
Well, after much contemplation, I have decided to get “back on program”. I’ll be posting daily updates, eating well, exercising, etc. In other words, doing what I need to do to be a healthy, satisfied human being. I allowed myself a couple of days of eating “junk” and I’m ready to move forward, starting NOW. I’ll weigh Tuesday and let you know where I stand.
This is a post that I swore to myself I would never write…
I have gained 8.5 lbs, my weight is now at 238.5, I feel terrible, and I cannot stop eating. Seriously, I hate writing these words, but these are the words that must be written. Excuses? I have a million… Valid reasons? None…
Simply put, I lost my momentum, stopped posting, started eating poorly, got frustrated with myself, and stopped “caring”. When you have been on as many diets as I have, it gets so frustrating to see the scale “freeze”. After a MONTH of eating well and still not losing weight, I just threw my hands up and said, “forget this…”.
To be honest, I’m glad that I forced myself to write this post, and I HOPE that it is the first of many, many more daily posts. If I write a post tomorrow, I’m back in the game. If not? Same old same old…
Sad, but very, very true…
I love strawberries and homemade oatmeal. So, for breakfast this morning I had… strawberries and homemade oatmeal. (I like to put a pinch of cinnamon in my oatmeal, chop up a couple of strawberries, and then eat.) 200 to 225 calories. Perfect, healthy, easy to fix, filling meal.
(I’ve created a ‘blogging schedule’ for the upcoming week. To read more about it, head over to No Credit Needed. Weight loss posts will be organized around my regular blogging schedule.)
My wife and I had a really, really nice talk today. Two years ago when we decided to get out of debt, we did so as a “couple” and as a “family”. My wife has decided to join me as we change out eating habits (and our futures). To be honest with you all, the past two months have FLOWN by, and my weight loss has come to a screeching halt. I have bee under tremendous stress. My “real” job can be a little stressful, and the past two months have been THE busiest months I’ve had in years. My overall health has suffered as a result of eating out, eating too much, exercising too little, and getting too little sleep. My wife is not overweight (she’s quite the looker, if I do say so myself), but we have both fallen into the traps of modern eating. It is so cool that she is getting “on board” and I’m super-excited about Monday morning. Having an awesome wife ROCKS!
