Got up early today, weighed in at WW, walked 3 miles at the mall, worked up a good sweat, only drank a protein drink all morning, ate nothing til after 1:00pm, came home to shower, and went to the "Lighten Up" weigh-in and lost 2 lbs in the last month, which makes 9 all-together. Not good. I vow to lose at least 10 by next month's weigh-in which will put me at or below 300. My motivation is back and the workouts feel natural. Lookout world!

Hey all! I've lost some motivation of late. I haven't been as strict on the weekends and my workouts haven't been there. I had a little talk with myself the other night and I'm going to get it together. I'm not sure how many times I can keep saying the same things in these blogs, but at some point, it has to stick. I've maintained my weight since the last Lighten Up weigh-in, but I intend to get up every morning this week and work out and lose 5 to 10 lbs by next weekend's big weigh-in. I owe it to myself!

I was pretty miserable all last week with some bug, so I wasn't able to work out or anything. I did lose a pound at my Saturday weigh-in which I found to be strange, since I hardly ate all week. It's very depressing that even when I'm sick, I still feel like I have to eat only a small piece of lettuce per day to lose real wait. Very frustrated lately!

This past week was not a good one and it showed on the scale. I went away to Columbus last weekend and gained the three pounds that I lost and then a little. Thursday I started weight training to go along with the cardio workouts. I went a little too hard on day one and have been ridiculously sore since. Back to the weight room tomorrow with a much lighter workout and back to the strict diet. This on and off/up and down crap isn't working. Gotta hit it and hit it hard!

I lost 3 more lbs. this week at my weight watchers weigh-in, which puts me at 10 lbs. lost all together. Then I went to Columbus for the weekend and probably gained all 10 lbs. back. I tried to make smarter choices when we would eat at restaurants, but we went to a place called Thurmans yesterday and I had the biggest burger ever, mainly because that's what they are known for, and a few beers and I felt terrible afterward. Back to smarter eating this week!
