I had another great day today. I hit the gym, worked through all of the machines at the gym, really kept my heart rate up, and then hit the elliptical for 20 minutes of high intensity interval training. This afternoon, I walked 3 miles on my “home-made” track outside my house.
I can’t believe I quit focusing on my exercise for almost a month. Sure, I was going to the gym, but I was just “there”. Yesterday and today, I “busted it.” Man, I’m tired, but it’s a “good” tired.
I’m pretty sure I’ll sleep like a baby. For the past two days, I have rocked.

I will give myself an A+ for yesterday’s exercise and eating.
I avoided all sugars and starches, drank plenty of water, and followed my eating plan.
I also went to the gym, hit all of the machines, and then did high impact interval training for twenty minutes. Later, in the evening, I walked three miles. (I actually used my cars GPS, which is removable, to plot out a half-mile “track” around my house. Now, when I want to walk, I can just walk here, instead of going to the track.)
Alright, time to go to the gym. Rock on.

We’re all about dealing with reality, right?!?
I now weigh 237.5 pounds.
When I started in September, I was at 252.2 pounds.
So, now I’m down 14.7 pounds, which would be awesome, except for the fact that I was down 28.2 pounds in February.
Here are the details.
I started to stall, didn’t lose any weight during March, and then just “threw my hands up” in April.
Foolishly, I went back to some old eating habits, and I stopped really trying in April. I continued to go to the gym, and I did think about my eating, but I wasn’t REALLY focused.
I have a couple of ways to look at my situation. I choose to look on the positive side, focus on the 14.7 pounds, and get excited about going to the gym today.
Now that it’s warm outside, I’m planning on going to the gym, working out, and then heading to the track for some running. Let’s see if that kick-starts the old weight loss.
Thanks for hanging in there with me. (I wouldn’t NEED this blog if I was GOOD at this stuff!!!) Rock on.

Regular posting will resume tomorrow!
For full details (okay, some details) about where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to, head over to my main site, No Credit Needed. There, you can read about my week “away” from blogging.
Just to update, my weight has not changed, in, oh, two months. I’m still going to the gym and I’m still eating a healthy diet. (I have had a few days of slacking, here and there, but that should be remedied by a renewed focus on blogging.)
My planned 5K is OFF! Our littlest just turned ONE, and the Saturday that I was planning to run the 5k is the day we have scheduled her birthday party. I’m still planning (and training) to run, but I think I’m going to wait until my sister can run with me. We shall see.
I hope you are all doing well. Tomorrow, regular posting schedule resumes! Rock on!

I am up. I am going to head to the gym very soon. It’s early. More later.
