Day 128

So today I've finally recovered from my weekend of indulgence. The scale read 260.2lbs at 8am. Not too bad for not having actually done any real exercise this week. it was all just watching and tracking what I was eating. Now to put the two together. It's obvious to me, that if I do, I will actually see some significant results. So why has it been so hard to just get up and do it?

Day 127

So, not so good at posting this week. The scale read 261.6 at 8am. So recovering from my weekend of indulgence. Have been terrible yet again about getting up and getting out. James and I frequently go for walks with Ella in the stroller, but they aren't exactly what you would call a work out. But at least I'm getting out...right? We'll be headed out again this afternoon. he loves going for walks, so off we go again. Now I just gotta get back into a morning routine, the weather is just getting too nice, during the day I want to be out in the yard with the kids instead of inside working out. So if I am going to get a work out in ever during this stint of my 100 day challenge, it's going to have to be in the mornings before the kids are up and getting ready for school. And if I am going to entertain the thought of running a 5k for Bonanza day the first weekend in August, I am going to really have to get up and get going. These things just don't happen by themselves, now do they?

Day 124

Scale read 266lbs this morning. YIKES!

I guess the deep fried pickles I ate on Saturday and my indulgent Mother's day dinner of steak, grilled caesar salad, loaded baked potato and no bake cheese cake have come to haunt me. Lets hope I'll be able to work that off this week. We got in late last night after visiting with my mom in law, so Kathryn didn't get up to go walking with me this morning, so I didn't get up either. I'm hoping to get a walk in later today. But one thing I will do this week, is be really good at watching what I am eating and keeping track of it. It's easy to see how that makes a difference after a weekend like this.

Day 119

Scale read 260.4lbs at 7:30am

So much for a new week, new start idea. Once again I did not get up with Kathryn this morning to go for a walk. My excuse, I was up twice last night with upset kids. Ella was up at 11:30pm and didn't head back to bed until almost 1am, and then James was up because he had a bad dream about bigfoot and I didn't get back to my own bed until 3am. So when my alarm went off this morning. I just didn't care and turned it off and went back to sleep. I will get back into the habit. I will. I will.

day 118

At 7:30am the scale read an even 260lbs. So I'm starting to see results with just tracking food, since I haven't been very good at getting exercise in every day lately. Just imagine what I could do if I was keeping up with my 5 days a week of cardio....I guess I better get back on track and start making some really progress.

See you tomorrow.

Day 117

Scale read 261.4lbs this morning at 7:30am.

Cursed sleep. I slept in again this morning, so once again Kathryn and I didn't go for a walk. But I did do my strength training today. And that really is all there is to say. Tomorrow is a new day.

Day 114 - fallen

Oh man, I have fallen off the work-you- butt-off wagon. The only day that I really did anything this week was Monday. Wednesday I did do some strength training, and my muscles are still achy from that, but seriously...twice in one week is not much of anything. This morning, I just didn't get out of bed to go for a walk with Kathryn. No accident there, I just turned off the alarm and went back to sleep. LAME. Yep, that's me. I have been pretty good at tracking my food. Not 100%, but even when I don't track, I've been conscious of what I am eating, and not just eating when I feel munchy. This evening however, I did eat a burger and poutine at Mcdonalds. So that completely ruined a day. Was doing so good up until that point today.

So here I am right now promising that next week is going to be better. I will not sleep in. I will get to bed earlier. I will go, even if it is cold. Or at least get up and do a video work out. I'll never get anywhere if I keep this crap up. So here's to doing better next week and getting back on track completely.

In other news, When I stepped on the scale yesterday morning, the scale read 260.8lbs. First time I've dropped to that number...lets hope we see a little more of it...and then continue on down the scale.

See you tomorrow.
