Day 5 - day off-ish

Busy day today.  Oldest was playing in basketball zones. Eating according to the plan was out the window today. But I think I may have burned enough calories because of the stress of the final game. A 65-67 win in overtime. Vet exciting finish to the season.

Day 4 - changed plans

So originally the plan was to go walking tonight with my good friend. But that changed because I had also made plans to go on a date with my Kymberly. Wet had fun together. But I did indulge in popcorn and pop and then we went out for a but to eat. We shared a bacon squids burger and fries. So although I had started out the day eating all that I should...I finished the day eating a bunch of crap. But I also remembered to drink all the water that I should be in a day. Sometimes it's tricky to remember to drink water.

Day 3 - partnering up

So today a good friend of mine and I got talking about workouts and walking and such, and we have decided to start doing this together, so tonight we got together for our first work out in her basement. After struggling with technical issues, we "enjoyed" a workout together. We plan to do one of those once a week and go walking at least twice together.
This was certainly an answer to prayer for me. Now to stick with it.

Day 2-slow start

So, it's a slow start. I haven't done a work out of any kind yet...two days in. But I have been keeping track of what I am eating. So that's always good. Also I forgot to add "drink enough water" to the list of things I want to do better. So consider that added. I'll try to track that on my phone app, along with my weight and exercise when I figure out how best to fit that into my day. 
A slow start, but not dismal.

Day one - Let's do this again shall we?

OK, so I've basically gained back all the weight I had lost up until last fall. That sucks. And now it's time to start doing something about it again. So here is the deal. I'm going to try this 100 day approach again. I'm going to do my very darndest to stick to the following plan for 100 days. Starting today (day 100 will be June 8, 2016).
So here is the plan:

  • Eat smarter!  Basically following the eating plan for the 21 day fix. I've found this to be successful in the past and easy for me to maintain.
  • Work out at least 3 times a week, and trying to fit in 5 times a week when possible.
  • Get to bed by 11pm.
  • Weigh myself every day and record it. (today's number was 269.7)
  • Check in here every day to report/vent.
