Another year, another plan...

Another New Year approaches and I've decided to try blogging, again...as of yesterday, I am gainfully unemployed and in definite need of some structure for my time.

I won't worry about weighing until after the first - there are far too many snacks and goodies I must eat before I put my feet on that lying scale...but my goal remains the same as last time; I want to just get down to fat...I'll be happy at fat.

I picked up a new recording interface and will be working out some original compositions...I have a wordsmith for the lyrics - I just work up the tunes. I have several melodies in my head now and will get them recorded in January...

Stalled...

Tomorrow's the first on June and my weight loss stalled around 260...it's doubtful I'll make my previous goal but maybe I can just get under 250 by the end of July...I've been riding my bike several times a week but my calorie intake is a bit higher than what I need...at least I know what the problem is...I should take the good advice to keep my mouth shut.

I'm also stalled on getting some music together for Margaret...and on getting the house remodeled...and on working out the details for the family reunion...

Work is such an interference in my life! Oh well, this too shall pass. My contract ends at the end of September and I should be happily unemployed for a few months...

Slowly I turned...

In a week where I never found the gym, worked far more hours than I really care to and definitely played less guitar than I like, I was glad to see the scale this morning still heading in the right direction. Two-hundred-seventy (270) pounds.

Slowly but (hopefully) surely I'm losing...

Week Won...

I hit the scales this morning at a spry 272 pounds so I went in the right direction this week. But it wasn't according to plan. My fast lasted from sundown Sunday until lunch Monday...work was hectic and I felt the need to eat to keep from getting grumpy. But at least I did hit the gym Monday afternoon. Some light weight work then 30 minutes on the elliptical followed by 20 minutes on the stair master. I could feel the fat just dropping off me. All I needed to do was to keep it up 3 or 4 days a week. But unfortunately, I came down with a nasty head cold late Monday evening and was in no shape to exercise the rest of the week. As of today I'm better and may try again tomorrow but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

I'm still not dieting. Yea, I'll eat oatmeal or a sugarless cereal for breakfast, but I get the hot lunch at work and eat a full dinner each night. The only thing I've been able to do has been to cut out the snacking. In the past I had an over reliance on exercise to offset my eating habits. I do need to make "lifestyle changes" and just eat less.

My goal is 210 by 7/31/2010. This week I'll try to stay on schedule.

Sunday Morning Coming Down...

274 this morning...but still a ways to go. I try to stay in today - I can't change yesterday and can only plan for tomorrow. So I'm off to church and then plan to meet my son at the gym for a workout.

I'll have to catch up blogging later (I'm behind after only a week!)
