Hi all,
This week was a pretty good week. I followed up my last week of four workout sessions with FIVE this week. We’ll see how things shake out on Monday for the the weigh-in, but at least I’m feeling a lot better about things since I’m getting my exercise in.
On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I’m back on the One Hundred Pushups program. I only did two days of it the last week, so this week I started with “week 1″ again, but did all three days. Those same days I do two sets of jump rope as well.
Tuesday and Thursday I do the Matt Furey Combat Abs, then a set of Hindu Squats.
That’s it at this point. My workouts only take about 15 minutes, but I’ll ramp it up a bit more as my sets get longer and I add in some new exercises. The key to making the workouts happen this time has been my revised workout spreadsheet. I’ve put in a roadmap of what I want to do each day, including how many sets and reps, adding more each week. It’s helping me push to do what I’ve mapped out, instead of just wimping out when it gets hard.
Well see if I can keep up with it and what the impact is. Stay tuned!

Okay, so exercise *probably* isn’t worthless, but here’s my point:
Weight: 212.4 lbs.
Waist: 39.5 inches
No change. How annoying is that?!
I finally get myself organized and motivated to exercise FOUR times last week (yes, I WAS proud of myself). So, this week I started out with a great workout AND shoveled the driveway before my weigh-in, but no dice. Not even a decimal point. Oh well. Maybe it had something to do with those 7 cookies I ate last night. Or maybe it was the candy and chips I had the other night… dang it.
Well, I have yet to go UP this year. I’ll take a flat week over an up week. If I ever have an up week, I’ll have to ground myself 100% for that week from all treats. I should do that anyway, but I don’t want to. I’ll see if I can control myself a bit better this week and then keep the workouts going.

All that skiing was offset by a good dose of eating I guess!
Weight: 212.4 lbs.
Waist: 39.5 inches
Still edged off over half a pound. This week I’m starting to exercise again, so hopefully each week I can post some kind of loss

Well, I finally got some exercise this week thanks to a quick ski trip to Telluride. It’s been at least five years since I’ve skied, so this was a killer workout to ski for three days straight. It was a lot of fun, but man, my legs are KILLING me.
Hoping to see something reflected in Monday’s weigh-in. Next week I need to finally pick up the exercise again. It’s been too long and I need to keep the weight loss trend for the new year.

One week later, took off a couple pounds:
Weight: 213 lbs.
Waist: 39.5 inches
Still mostly watching what I eat. Going to have to exercise at some point!
