March 6th Update
Posted by mike on March 6th, 2009
This update is for the week of March 2nd to March 6th.
Weekend Update: I did okay over the weekend, I guess. Better than the previous weekend, though I filled up on leftover lasagna on Saturday and biscuits and gravy on Sunday. I’m really getting tired of the cold weather… you just can’t DO anything outside.
Week In: 224.1 (I forgot to weigh Monday, so measured on Tuesday)
Monday: I was pressed for time, so I barely got my weights in. It’s been a few days since I last did any cardio, so that’s not good. I wasn’t doing bad until dinner. LOL! I had suggested having a “nacho bar” for dinner, and Emily took it from there. Suffice to say, had I eaten any more I’d probably be writing in Spanish right now. =P
Tuesday: Oatmeal/breakfast. Got some cardio in today, finally! Had a very lite lunch, but was still full from the nachos. lol! Emily is making BLT’s as I write, so I’ll try to behave myself. Weighed in… wasn’t as bad as I feared it would be, but will have to work hard to sustain the 2lbs I was down on Friday.
Wednesday: Oatmeal/breakfast. Didn’t get to work out today, but took my son to McDonald’s for lunch while Emily was at an appointment. I actually did well… had a southern-style chicken sandwich and side salad (okay, and just a few of his fries). For dinner I had a piece of leftover lasagna and salad. Later had some corn chips and salsa as a “snack”.
Thursday: Got in some cardio on the bike. Usual breakfast and lunch. The thermometer said 67°, so I went to Troy’s to ride. It felt like 45° to me! But I got in a good ride, so that was some cardio. Had a small fried rice and eggroll for dinner. But hey, I usually eat a large, so that’s progress, right? … right?
Friday: Had a ‘naner for breakfast, usual dealio for lunch (yogurt/fruit/crackers). Worked out on weights and then got in around 20 minutes of cardio. Feeling a bit stiff from riding yesterday, but will try to get out there again tomorrow. if the weather co-operates. It’s Friday, and Friday means pizza… so I probably ended the day in a wash.
Week Out: 223.2 … just a nudge on the dial, but I’ll accept nudges.

Be proud of the nudges…my nudges haven’t gone anywhere lately. Maybe if I tried harder they would. I don’t think the fact that I have to get into a WEDDING DRESS in about 75 days has sunk in yet!

haha! Thanks… every nudge counts, right? You’ll make it in the dress… you just have to think of this as something temporary you have to do to get there. lol! For whatever reason, it helps for me when some kind of tangible reward is involved. =)
Honestly, I haven’t given it my all. When I lost the first 40lbs or so, I pretty much said NO to anything ‘bad’ that came my way. I’ve not been so diligent lately. I’m doing better, but not great. I may need to back off on the weights… they make me ravenously hungry, and cause me to actually put on weight.
