WAY off track

So....as if you couldn't tell by my complete lack of postings, I've fallen off....the planet! MAN! I'm like a drug addict who just went on a three week cruise with Willie Nelson! I've had to work a TON and it's completely taken my eye off the ball. To be honest, I don't even know where I am weight wise, because I haven't been to the gym in....a while.

I'm trying to find the desire to do this again. My biggest hurdle is that I KNOW I can lose the weight - what I don't know is how to keep it off. I realize that there is not one answer, other than a life time of working on it every day. I just have to commit to that and make a choice.

My goal of 100 lbs lost by Sept. 1, 2010 STILL STANDS and I will achieve it. I'm just making it harder and harder on myself. I just want a good, interesting, photo finish for "my loyal readers." :-)

I promise to more diligently write, if nothing else.

thanks for reading!

Had a better week!

267. Not a huge loss, but the GOOD news is, I re-found my desire! I'm back on track and I'm excited about the next phase.

I'd better get SERIOUS!

I've REALLY taken my eye off the ball these last couple of weeks and had a bad weigh-in this morning. 268.0. I gained a couple back. Bummer. I've GOT to find a way to motivate myself to continue to eat right, even when I can't get to the gym. I'll work it out, I know that. THIS will be a great week!

265.2....I guess a loss is a loss.

I had a....hard time getting to the gym this week. I slept an average of 5 hours per night. Weeks like this happen in my job and I've just GOT to find a way around them. Struggle continues.

I'm still here!

Hey! My good friend, Greg, reminded me that it HAS indeed been far too long since my last post - not to mention I neglected to update my weight and photos on Monday! May I be placed in a burlap sack and ritualistically beaten! SORRY! Explanation - I've been working 16+ hour days the past 5 days straight. Good times! Truly!

266 as of Monday. 4.2 more lbs on the gym floor. It's strange, because I'm still AHEAD of the schedule I've placed for myself - 2 lbs per week, but I've lost weight SO FAST in that past that I find myself wishing I was shedding the rolls faster again...even though that has NEVER worked for me long term. I need to grasp the fact that I need to do something DIFFERENT this time - namely, make it a lasting change.

Watched The Biggest Loser again tonight. SUCH a great show! So totally motivating!

I was able to comfortably wear two "new" pairs of pants this week. Funny how such little effort over so short a period of time can make such changes. I'm starting to feel subtle differences - more energy, less back pain, etc... Makes me wonder why I keep sliding back to fat-man status when I KNOW how much better I feel without the weight....

Racquetball tonight!

I've got to be honest - I'm playing racquetball with my buddy Aaron tonight and I'm so excited! We used to play at least twice a week....but we stopped for some reason and haven't really played in quite a while. I'm looking forward to really beating the crap out of him tonight! ;-)

If you don't know Aaron, who works with me at my Provo store, you SHOULD! He is one funny dude! Beating him used to be a real high point in my week, so I'm excited to get back to it!

Not to mention - racquetball is one of the better work outs I've ever had!!! I'm telling you, you can work up biggest looser type sweat! Very nice!

The Biggest Loser

Short and sweet - without QUESTION the most motivating, inspiring show ever on the boobtube! If THEY can do it - anyone can! Tonight, while watching, I couldn't help but think, "MAN - I'm so glad that I'm dieting and working out - I couldn't handle the guilt otherwise!!!" Awesome!
