After 2 months away from my weight loss program, I still managed to drop a pound. I have not done any kind of exercise what so ever in the last 2 months. I have, however, been eating healthy and drinking lots of water.
Today's official weigh in: 315.4 lbs.
This shows that the eating habits that I have ingrained in my daily routine will let me maintain my current weight without exercise. I can proceeed with my weight loss program with out the fear of gaining it all back, which happens quite often.
Yesterday, I knocked out 100 crunches on the Ab Roller. Nothing spectacular, but a start all the same.

Not that I am saying that I am a loser, just someone who's late. You have probably guessed that I didn't make my mid year goal. When I left for vacation, I was only 2 lbs away from 300. Now that I am back, I discovered that I gained 6 lbs during the 10 days that I was away.
Today's weigh in: 307.6 lbs.
So now I am 7.6 lbs over what I should have weighed 5 days ago. That makes me about 9 or 10 pounds behind for the year. I can't beat up on myself too bad, considering that I have lost over 40 lbs. this year. The good news is that my 3 year old and my 5 year old are at my Mom's for the next 3 weeks and the wife and I are switching into super duper weight loss mode. (notice I did not use the word diet)
I am starting an accelerated weight loss program today. Notice I did not say tomorrow. Tomorrow is what you tell yourself when you are not really serious. Procrastination will kill your weight loss program faster than anything! Here it is my first Sunday home with no kids, (the 14 year old doesn't really count because he just wants to stay in his room on the computer or go off with his friends), and I am up at 7:00 am.
I am going to finish this blog post and then go ride my bike. I was going to say for 3 miles instead of 2 but we will have to see. I haven't done any exercise in over a week so I will see how I feel. You want to push yourself, but don't over do it. Especially if you are really over weight or if your 40+. I am going to be 47 the end of this month and although that is not what I consider old, I realize I'm not 20 anymore either.
Just make sure you don't use something like age to justify taking it easy or not doing anything at all. Weight loss is just as much mental as it is physical. Don't let the excuses keep you from reaching your goal. True, I feel a little short of my goal, but instead of giving up, I am going to use that as motivation to work even harder.

I made it through Father's Day weekend without putting on any weight. Even though I spent most of Saturday and Sunday on the couch watching the U.S. Open, I still managed to lose a pound. No big deal but an improvement over the Mother's Day debacle, where I put on about 3 pounds.
Today's official weigh in: 306.0 lbs. That's 3.6 lbs for the month and 44 lbs for the year.
I am only 6 lbs away from my mid year target weight of 300 lbs. I have 2 weeks left to lose the weight to stay on schedule. I am going to increase my exercise efforts to make sure I make my goal.
I am going to cut down on the frequency of my postings. I think that I am getting a little redundant by posting everyday. Therefore, I am only going to post 2 or 3 times a week. I will make an exception if something news worthy happens or I run across something I want to share with you.

I am almost halfway through the month and I have not even lost a pound yet. I have to admit that I have been slacking off on the exercise a little. I have been pretty good about riding my bike every morning, but I haven't been doing my usual 400 sit ups. I have been really busy, but that is no excuse! I have also been eating a little more than usual which I attribute to giving up the Hoodia Gordonii. I haven't taken any at all this month.
Yesterday, I did my 2 miles on the bike in the morning and in the evening. I only did 100 sit ups before I went to work. I stuck to my normal eating schedule but I did eat a pretty good sized piece of steak for dinner.
Today's official weigh in: 309.2 lbs. That's .4 lbs for the month and 40.6 for the year.
I am 9.4 lbs away from my target weight of 300 by the end of June. I am going to make an attempt at increasing my efforts and see if I can drop 9 lbs. in 20 days.

I spent the entire weekend in West Palm Beach looking at houses. Even though I didn't do any exercise and ate out for all of my meals, I still managed not to gain any weight. This included a pig out at Sonny's Barbeque on Sunday. The rest of the time I tried to eat veggies and nothing fried. I managed to keep my weight under control, but am falling behind on my program for the month. My mid year target is approaching fast. I need to be at 300 lbs. by the end of June. I still have a little over 9 lbs. to go.
