It’s been a while, but I’m finally ready / able to get back to the gym. Over the past few weeks, a combination of laziness, lots of responsibilities at work, and sickness has kept me at home. Now, it looks like things are getting back to (or at least near) normal, so it’s time to hit the gym and get back into shape.
I feel like 2009 was the “year that could have been”. I had two kidney stones, one of which required surgery, I was sick several times, and I really got frustrated when my weight loss stopped, slowed, and then started to reverse. I’ll be flat honest. I’m ready to get this year behind me, clear the slate, and move towards 2010.
However, there’s no sense in waiting on a “date on the calendar” to actually start “attempt #4,859″ to get in shape. I’m headed to the gym this morning, in attempt to create a more “scheduled” lifestyle. In the past, I’d workout in the afternoon – which gave me plenty of time, during the day, to eat the wrong things, convince myself that I had blown it for that day, and then just skip the gym. So, today, it’s gym-time at 5:00 AM. I’m going to hit the treader, work arms, and then swim some laps. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Rock on!

In just a few minutes, I’m headed to the gym. I missed work yesterday with a terrible headache and sore throat, but I feel better now. The weather outside is “yuck-rainy” as one of my kids says, but I’m stoked about hitting the treadmill and doing some leg work.
It’s been a while since I posted, but I’ve been plugging away. I find that it’s important that I go the gym, as often as I can, even when I don’t, initially, feel like it. Every time that I fight through the urge to stay home and just go, I always feel better. Doing what is best for my body – or my soul – or my spirit – or my finances – isn’t always easy, but it is always rewarding.
Sorry for the delay in posting. As I mentioned over at No Credit Needed, life’s been a little hectic. Things have calmed a bit, all is well, and I’m back to posting. Rock on, my weight loss pals, rock on!

I’ve had a much better week this week. For the most part, I’ve done a better job of eating healthy foods. I’m excited about going back to the gym today. I finally feel like a human being – and now it’s time to be a human doing!
I have decided to avoid the scale, at least for this week. I know how I am, and if my weight is as high as I think it is, I’ll just get depressed. So, I’m just going to eat the right foods, get some exercise, drink my water, and I’ll weigh in when I’m ready.
I’m looking forward to hitting the track this evening. My daughter has gymnastics, the weather is nice, so it should be a great day for a little jogging. I’m a LONG way from where I was back in March, but I have to start somewhere.
Blogging here, each day, even if I don’t have much to say, keeps me accountable. So, I’ll continue. Thanks for stopping by.

I am headed to the gym. Today, I’m going to focus on a long walk / run and then do some work on my chest.
It’s been a few days, and I’m sure I’ll be a little rusty, but I can hardly wait for the way I’ll feel when I’m finished.
I hope you dig the site re-design. I’m still working on it, but I’m kinda digging it. I missed the old green.
I have decided to skip all weigh ins for the month of July. Instead, I will focus on exercising and healthy eating.
Oh, and it’s 100 degrees here. Hot, hot, hot.

Hello, my name is NCN, and my body hates me. The feeling, I can assure you, is mutual.
I’ve stopped losing weight. In fact, I’ve gained and re-lost the same 10 pounds, over and over, for the past three months. My body, instead of getting smaller, has entered into a strange stasis, and refuses to change.
I’ve altered a lot of my eating habits, I’m still exercising, and I feel much better than I did this time last year. These are the positives.
It’s VERY hard for me to maintain weight loss, and I seem to gain weight MUCH faster than I lose it. These are the negatives.
I’m still plugging along, trying to eat right, and enjoying my time at the gym. It gets a little frustrating, but I just KNOW, that at some point, the weight loss will pick up, my body will give in to the work I’m doing, and I’ll see some more progress.
Thanks for hanging around. I hope you are all doing well. Rock on.
