back to the gym

So Saturday I made it back to the gym after a 2 and a half month hiatus. It was a good workout and I was glad i finally made the effort to go back. Then come Sunday, my day off, and We go out and make a day of running errands and just shopping with no place to go in particular. Well, it comes to lunch time, and I get the idea to go to cici's pizza buffet because we are passing it and I am getting pretty hungry. Well, that was a bad idea for my diet. I ate way more than I needed to. But hey, its the weekend, so I am allowed to splurge a little. Then back to shopping we go. Well, then we pass my favorite ice cram place, time for dessert. Dern, another bad idea. But, I did get the small shake and not the large not the old me would have. baby steps. We ended up having a nice day, and avoided all the rain that we were supposed to get. Somehow, it had just rained everywhere we stopped, but never rained while we were there. How perfect is that?
So Monday morning I get back on the scale, UGH. What the heck, there is my weekend splurge, still hanging onto my waist. I am back to 186. Up from 182.6 on Friday. But I say some of that has to do with going to the gym and building muscles, lol. They do say that muscle is heavier than fat. Well, I am not discourged. Today, Tuesday, I went back to the gym before work and picked up the pace a lil more. I have got to get down to 180 by Sunday. Soup for lunch and a fiber bar and I am no longer hungry. If I can keep this up all week, I may still have a chance of getting to the 180 mark. Back to the gym Thursday. And will report back by the weekend, I hope.

hump day

So tonight we are going to the wine tasting at ABC in Cocoa Beach. These things are always so much fun. And I usually don't eat alot that night, just a wine dinner, LOL. This week I made it down to 182.8, my lowest weight ever so far. I contribute that to my being sick over the weekend and not eating alot. Monday I think I only had a tunafish salad sandwich for lunch and a bowl of chicken noodle soup for dinner. Last night was a nice night as I made a pitcher of Pina Colada's. Took our cups and went for a nice walk in the light drizzle of rain. It was a very relaxing walk and we both enjoyed it very much. So my goal for this week is to lose 2 more pounds and get to 180 by the end of next week. Till next week, signing off.

So, it has been over a month and a half since I started this blog, and the calorie counting. Well, I have not found the time to write in my blog, and all but gave up on the calorie counting after just one week. Never seemed to make the time to write down every item I ate. I know that that is the real key to losing the weight, but just haven't been able to keep focused on the goal. The good news, is I am still at a constant 185. I have even strayed and eating out fast food a few times and have induldged in way too much ice cream over the past month or two. But at least I am maintaining the weight, and not gaining it back. I think that if I can just focus for 2 monthes and lose the last 20 lbs. I should be able to keep it off by maintaining as I do now. The key is to just say no for 2 monthes, so that is my goal till I write to you again. Hopefully not as long as I went last time. See you all soon.
