went to happy hour last night……had too many beers…and of course by 8pm I was famished……..had no plan…….so it was Micky D’s……….followed by a little chocolate…..and a Friendly’s Fribble….so my mind is in a fog……waiting to have that first cup of joe……..it some fruit and hit the gym…….

the last few weeks the weight loss gods have been very good to me………..today I need to focus and put in a good diet day and not build on the negativity the follows a train wreck such as last night……..because I will get this train back on the tracks today……..because tomorrow…..there is a planned wreck………..it is Super Bowl Sunday………..and there will be more drinking and some bad food choices……..

I want to stay positive and get the train right back on the tracks Monday morning……..I know I should have a plan and try not to drink alcohol and eat as healthy as possible……….but Super Sunday only comes once a year and life is short……..you never know you might not have the chance to go next year………for me………I cannot go to watch football and not get caught up in the moment and start munching on carrots, broccoli and celery sticks without the dresssing……any way you get the point……..the more I focus and not touching the bad stuff…….the more I will ingest……….

After tomorrow most men get depressed…………what do we do on Sunday’s……….its like we lost walking around in a daze dumfounded……….then it hits us……….we might have to start doing things like hanging out with our significant others……….that means furniture shopping……….clothes shopping……..food shopping………talk about sticking a needle in your eye…….I will use this ugly time of year to focus on losing some more weight……

yes……yes……yes……..4 week losing streak…….lost 2 1/2 lbs for the week……..for a total of 15……..really happy with my results….going to be a rough weekend……going out for drinks……..I lose all will power when I start drinking……..and then we have Super Sunday coming……….I’m in charge of wings and chili dip……..so my goal for the weekend is not to gain anything………GO CARDINALS……….

I wasn’t perfect over the weekend………a couple of slip ups……did a little whining……sorry need to stop that nonsense……..I lost a pound over the weekend which is huge for me…….

had good week…….lost weight………got by Friday night by maintaining control……….Saturday morning……..did 65 minutes cardio………45 minutes on the weights………things are really clicking……..my goal is to get through the weekend and lose at least 1/2 pound……all day Saturday ate lean and healthy…..the rest of the day is not really planned and somewhat out of my control……

To me I would be happy to sit home and read……….but I do have a GF……..and for some reason she needs me to help her not be bored…..I keep this in mind and try to do things with her….her kids are going to a birthday party………and I went along for the ride……..Yipee……..

so this was too much of a distruption………I figurged we stay a little while…….and then we would pick something up to eat for my GF and then I would eat my Nutri-System when we got home………we wound up staying way too long……..they had chips and dips out…….I didnt touch one……….we stayed way too long……….the pizza arrived……..that is my binge food……..

I was not prepared……..I wound up eating 3 slices………and my GF’S two left over crusts…..now I started to put some cheese doodles into my fat face……..then  dipping a few chips into dip……….and then we left…….

when on a diet I dont like the weekends………..

Weekend Wackiness is here………..the weekends are such a problem for me……..during the week I’m a dieting superstar……..can exercise, eat healthy and stand strong against all temptations……and the the weekend hits and like Superman there are all sorts of kyrptonite out there….

had a good week lost a pound and a half………Friday afternoon eats and my mind starts going crazy……..you know that racing of a million thoughts………what I’m I going to do now that there is no structure……..in the past my Friday nights is always been pizza and beer night with a bag of chips thrown in……..its my way of thanking myself for getting through another mundane week……

So to start off the Friday night……the family decides it Chinese night………okay that is not on my Nutri-Systems plan……….so I decide to make a pot of coffee and do some reading instead of hanging out with the crowd……I handled this challange, I did not touch any of the food, I so badly wanted to pop in at least one of the Sweat n sour chicken balls into my mouth…….I didnt because once I have one it would have been over…….had my salad and my dinner entree (which is very small and satisfying) go figure…..to keep busy I was going to take a trip to the library…..asked my GF……..if she wanted to come…….yes and now there was an additonal stop that needed to be made……..that stop was Carvel……..yeah my mind is really at war know…..got home had my Nutri-Sytstem snack………the mind still wouldnt shut off……..wound up adding an addtional snack 100 calorie popcron pop………the mind still didnt shut off……..finally I said go to bed………go to bed……..so all in all it was a successfull Friday night…..

Had a good night sleep and I feel great this morning……I will be able to get through most of the day without the diet devil in my head…….in the past…….I would lose all week maintain it on the weekends and then be able to lose more during the week…….but what would eventually happen is that I would start gaining on the weekends take most of the week to lose what I gained on the weekend……..a very vicious cycle….

Trying to stay in the moment and focus on good healthy lifestyle……..my mini-mini goal is to lose a half a pound this week…..

Its been a good 3 weeks…….the loss slow downed this week…….1 1/2 for a total of 11 1/2…..thats the good news……..my fat mind is starting to wander………I know a loss is a loss is a loss…..blah…..blah…….blah………..I followed my diet religously this week and would have liked to see a bigger number………I know all the catch phrases……but the fat brain isn’t listening………

Friday night is a very tough night……….how do I celebrate the week being over……..would love to have two six-packs, 4 or 5 slices of pizza………..and a bag chips……….even though I will not indulge……..that’s where the mind will be all night……….and then what do I do tomorrow to reward myself……..once again nothing………….how does one reward themself without food? 

Its 0500 just got out of bed……..how un-natural to leave the cave when its so cold………..not too bad here………its 21 degrees………the alarm went off this morning and it was just not enough sleep……..so I had to make a quick decision………..do at just lay back down and get an extra 80 minutes of sleep and still make it to work on-time…………or drag my butt downstairs……..sip coffee until the crust disappears from my eyes………get in an ice cold car and drive to the sweat palace………..the gym…….

the answer was simple………….of course I got out of bed………..for me the greatest feeling in the world is dragging myself to the gym in the am………because I know by the time I finish my work out I will be spirtized, energized and fittized for the day…………and will be able to handle all challanges thrown at me because by 0620 I have accomplished something……..

have a great day…………. 

I was on this site last year, lost a total of 52 lbs.  Towards the end of the year I graduated with honors and went on vacation.  In November sold the house and all that good stuff like moving, followed by the holidays and who doesn’t like to party and eat.  The last time on the scale was back in November.  17 days ago I got on the scale and the result was a 17lb gain.  In the past this would have been the time to take out the baseball bat and start beating myself up with it.  I now have many tools at my disposal and said okay you have some work to do.

I decided to go on Nutri-Systems I like the idea of variety and the snacks are a plus.  So far I have lost 11lbs and plan on losing and the other 6 that I put on and then go for 2o more after that.

Its pretty cool I havent been on in awhile and just over the past days I got booster notes from some old buddyslimmers from the past.  I would like to say hello to anybody that remembers me from last year and would like to say hello to all others.
