All these birthday parties are really making it hard for me to be consistant with my weight loss program. I actually put on weight this weekend despite working out twice on Saturday. I must admit that I didn't do anything on Sunday but lay around the house and nurse my sun burn and my hang over. I guess that's what I get, although I did have fun.
Today's official weigh in: 313.0 lbs. A gain of almost 3 lbs from Friday morning!
Not to worry, I will get rid of it in short order.

I have surpassed the 35 lbs lost mark for the year. I am just a tad behind on my schedule to lose 100 lbs this year. I have not starved myself to death and on average, I only spend about 30 minutes a day exercising. The exercising has consisted of riding my bike and doing sit ups with and Ab Roller. I eat 3 small snacks during the day, usually consisting of fruit and/or raw veggies. I eat a normal dinner but with smaller portions than I used to eat and have a snack in the evening a couple hours before I go to bed.
Today's official weigh in: 314.8 lbs. That's 4.2 lbs for the month and 325.2 lbs for the year.
I was very good at the birthday party yesterday. I had one very small piece of cake and 2 pieces of pizza. I also snacked on a few Dorito's but nothing drastic. I continued to stay away from the sodas and drank water. I didn't ride my bike at all but I did 200 crunches while I was watching TV later in the evening.
Yesterday I spent the entire day in West Palm Beach looking for a place to live. My company is relocating from Fort Myers in a couple months and I am going as well. I did manage to do my 200 sit ups in the morning before we left but that was it for the day as far as any exercise. We packed a cooler with fruit and sandwiches so we wouldn't have to eat any fast food.
Today's official weigh in: 315 lbs. That's 4 lbs for the month and 35 lbs for the year.
I have to get ready to go to a birthday party / cookout so I am going to cut it short. It's things like this that make it tough on the weekends to lose weight. So many temptations.

I'd like to apologise for not posting in a week. There just don't seem to be enough hours in the day sometimes. I won't even try to make any excuses. Mother's day weekend was a lot of fun but not good for my weight loss program. The celebration started early with a Friday night cookout at our neighbors house. Lots of wonderfully fattening food, 12 beers, and my share of a bottle of tequila, left me with a terrible hang over Saturday.
I ended up laying around the house all day asking myself why in the world I drank all of that alcohol. So Saturday was a total wash out. Sunday, I made the wife breakfast in bed, complete with pancakes, bacon, and a cheese omelet. Of course, I ate my fair share of it. The rest of the day was filled with more eating and a big chocolate cake to boot. I did manage to squeeze in 200 sit ups mostly out of guilt.
Monday morning I stepped on the scales and had gained almost 5 pounds. I was 321 even.
Needless to say I was seriously regretting my fun, lethargic weekend. All this week I have doubled my efforts and have been working hard with the exercise. I rode the bike 2 times every day and did at least 300 sit ups every day. I did the "Yoga For Weight loss" on Monday and Wednesday. Thankfully, my efforts have payed off. I lost all of the extra I had gained and managed to to surpass my mark from last Thursday morning.
Today's official weigh in: 315.4 lbs. That's 3.6 lbs for the month and 34.6 lbs for the year.
I should be back on schedule with things and will be able to continue making my daily posts again.
I really like doing the cardio first thing in the morning. It is tough to make myself do it but as soon as I get on the bike and start pedaling, I'm totally into it. It is normally nice and cool in the morning and not to breezy. When I finish, I feel energized and the feeling lasts pretty much all through the day. The best part is that I continue to lose weight.
Today's official weigh in: 316.8 lbs. That's 2.2 lbs for the month and 33.2 lbs for the year.
I rode the bike 2 miles in the morning and 2 miles after dinner yesterday. I also did a total of 300 sit ups. The eating routine was pretty much the same. Cereal for breakfast, fruit for my 2 snacks, I had celery sticks with peanut butter for lunch and homemade vegetable soup for dinner. I also had a real small piece of chocolate cake for desert and popcorn for an evening snack.
