Weekend 1

So Friday I didn't exercise. I went to the Monroe Area High School football game. I also went to the weekly "Friday Fun Club" meeting, which is basically where a few teachers get together after school on Fridays, have a few drinks, and just relax. So with those two things, just didn't make time to walk. On Saturday, I went for a nice long walk, first thing in the morning. I wish I had time to do that every day, but there is no way I am getting up before I absolutely have to. I took Lola with me this time, and after about 15 minutes of me yanking on her leash, she figured out that if she just stays next to me, she won't get choked. I am going to try and take her more often, I know she needs it just as much as I do. Today I didn't exercise because, well, I was just lazy. Slept in, then went to lunch with Sam, Peter and Kyle. Came back home, watched the Falcons game (and took a nice little nap in there) and just relaxed.

Ok, so the big moment, my weight for the week: 295.4 Ouch... That kinda hurts to look at, not gonna lie. I'm not a modest, or really embarrassed type of person, but posting that is a little humbling. I have put on a good bit of weight since high school and I would like to get back down to that weight (245). I think a good goal of about 2-3 pounds a week is a good one. Now I just need to adjust some eating habits (as of today, no more soda) and I think I will be able to do it. Changing my eating habits will be really tough for me. In case you didn't know, I pretty much just eat about 5 things: Pizza, Chicken, Fries, Waffles, Biscuits. There are a few others but those are the big ones. The other thing is that I hate to cook, so eating pre-packaged foods is what usually happens, and that's not good either. This week I am going to try adding an extra lap (this thought occurred before looking at my weight).

Let's make it happen.

  1. We all hate waking up early for workouts, but we gots to fit them in at some point in the day. Rule of thumb: Workout 3 times a week to maintain fitness, workout 4 times a week to increase fitness. Trust me, it works!

  2. Diet is the biggest part to be honest. I never thought so before but I've been convinced now. A good idea that may help you learn what/how much to eat is track your intake. I use myfooddiary.com. It can also track your exercise calories burned and let you know calorie numbers to stay under and stuff. It costs $9/month, but that shouldn't be an issue now that you're not buying soda or making so many Chik-fil-a runs.

  3. Agree with Brent and you will be SO SURPRISED how much a difference you will see and FEEL cutting out soda. I got taken off caffeine and it was the best thing to ever happen to me!

    keep it up!
