I finally lost the weight that I gained over the weekend. It took me 3 days to undo what I basically did in a day. If I had to guess, the culprit was the beer. I made the same mistake on Mother's day weekend and put on several pounds.
That is why you have to give up alcohol and sodas, if you want to lose weight. Drink only water and lots of it.
Today's official weigh in: 309.6 lbs. That puts me back where I started out this month so nothing lost for the month and 40.4 lbs lost for the year.
Yesterday I rode my bike 2 miles first thing in the morning and did 200 sit ups. I didn't have time to do anything after work because we went shopping and went out to eat at Sweet Tomato, the all you can eat salad bar. I ate 2 huge plates of salad and still managed to lose over a pound. Just goes to show you that you can still eat a lot if you eat smart.
Yesterday I got up and did my usual 2 miles on the bike and my 200 sit ups. I started to do my 2 miles on the bike after dinner but had to cut it short due to these huge swarms of gnats that I kept running into. So I went back inside and did another 200 sit ups.
Today's official weigh in: 311.4 lbs. I still have a little ways to go before I get back to where I was last Friday.
I kept my eating routine pretty much the same. We were out of milk so I had some toast with Philly cream cheese for breakfast, an apple for mid morning snack, celery with peanut butter for lunch, baby carrots for a mid afternoon snack, and for dinner I had a pork chop and mixed veggies. As usual, I drank at least a gallon of water through out the day, which is easy to do now that summer is in full swing here in Florida.

Man the weight is just falling off of me, LOL. Yesterday I rode my bike 2 miles in the morning and 2 miles after dinner. I did my usual 200 crunches in the morning and that was all as far as exercise for the day. Evidently it was enough.
Today's weigh in: 309.6 lbs. That's 9.4 lbs for the month and 40.4 for the year.
I am less than 11 pounds away from my mid year weight loss target with 32 days to go.
Yesterday I had cereal for breakfast, an apple for mid morning and mid afternoon snack, I had a salad with raspberry walnut vinaigrette for lunch, and I had a bratwurst and baked potato for dinner. Notice that dinner was about as fattening as you can get. I even had butter on my baked potato. The lesson here is:
You can eat the things you like if you implement portion control and are willing to do 30 minutes worth of exercise everyday. It's simple common sense with a little self discipline.
I am still trying to wean myself off of the Hoodia Gordonii. I only take it once in the morning and so far I haven't had really bad hunger pangs in the evening. That has always been my biggest problem. Once I gave in to hunger, which would usually occur in the evening when I was watching TV, I would stuff my face right before I went to bed. Big No No!
I think that my body has grown accustomed to the small portions and I am going to go cold turkey beginning in June. I would prefer not to take any supplements, aside from vitamins, if I don't have to. The Hoodia Gordonii really helped me out when I began this program. I was used to eating really big meals a couple times a day instead of 5 or 6 small snacks. The Hoodia kept me from feeling ravenous.
The weight keeps coming off. I have been getting up and riding my bike 2 miles every morning for over a week straight. I have lost 4 lbs during that time and have lost almost 8 lbs for the month with a few days to go. It would have been closer to 15 lbs if I hadn't had a major breakdown of discipline on Mother's day weekend. That aside, I think at this point, that it is safe to asy that:
The theory that, "Doing cardio in the morning on an empty stomach burns 300% more fat" is a true statement. Not only does it increase your calories burned, it energizes you for the entire day. There is something to be said about getting up and getting the heart pumping first thing. You warm up your muscles, break a good sweat, take a shower, and it's Carpe Diem!
Today's official weigh in: 311.2 lbs. That's 7.8 lbs for the month and 38.8 lbs for the year.
Yesterday, I had cereal for breakfast, an apple for mid morning and mid afternoon snack, carrot sticks for lunch, and a ham and cheese sandwich with baked beans for dinner. I put in 2 miles on the bike first thing in the morning and after dinner. I also did 200 sit ups in the morning.
I was proud of myself this past weekend. Yesterday, I went to a cook out and didn't make a complete pig of myself. I resisted the temptation of all alcoholic beverages. I drank water. I sampled some of just about everything but stayed away from the potato salad and I ate my "Bubba Burger" without a bun. I got up early and put in my 2 miles on the bicycle and did my 200 sit-ups. I limited my eating the rest of the day to a couple snacks and that's it.
Today's official weight: 311.8 lbs. That's 7.2 lbs for the month and 38.2 lbs for the year.
I am right on track to lose my 100 pounds. By the end of June I will have lost 50 lbs and I will post another picture. It just goes to show how easy it is if you just set an easy to achieve goal and stick to the plan.
