So

I did pretty good last week. I only had to skip one day, I am going to make sure I get to the gym every day this week as well as run or bike. It is a slow process my goal is 1-2 lbs a week. I just have to watch myself on the weekends.

It is time to get it going.

So in the interest of full disclosure. Since the beginning of the year I've gone from 250 back up to 285. I have lots of excuses but it doesn't matter, I still let it happen. So now it's time to begin anew, my back doesn't seem to hurt when I get up in the morning so I'm going to start running again. Which sucks because now I'm going to have to build back up.

I am going back to eating Paleo. I slipped for a few months. it really does make a big difference, if you have not heard if it or tried it you should give it a shot and see how much it helps.

My goal is to get back down to 250 by the end of the year. I will regularly update my progress. I will be running, biking, and going to the gym while I can.

I did it before. I can do it again.

Another day

Got up late this morning, so I was only able to get in 10 miles. Maybe this weekend I can get out and get a 20 miler in. I would like to get back on my mountain bike but I bet my seat stem the last time I went out. Time to get that work day started.

biking

So I have not been able to run in months now because of whatever I did to my back, so I have just been riding my bike. I try to get out 3-5 times a week usually around 3 in the morning before I go to work, occasionally I can ride to work, it's only 5 miles away . I try to go out for 10 -20 miles at a time. It really sucks because it is not as much of a workout as running, so not as many calories burned, but at least it's something for now. My son will be out of school in a week and then I will be able to ride to work everyday and get back to the gym as well so that should definitely help me lose the 30 lbs. I put back on. It is a long and torturous process.

I have been trying to cut back on what I have been eating and limit the snacking but sometimes it is difficult. Oh well all I can do is keep trying.

New week

A new week begins, a new adventure awaits. Opportunities may or may not arise this week, big decisions will have to be made whether to sacrifice time now to get ahead for the future and create more opportunities later on. I have given it to God, the universe, Allah and Cthulhu. As a side note the sheer fact that my speech to text new what Cthulhu was on the first shot was quite awesome.

I had a good weekend with the family. I did not get up and go run this morning but I will try to get it in least 2 to 3 times this week. Well it's time for me to start my work I am pulling into work right now and I notice I have trucks waiting for me already so time to throw some plants. Until next time, Mahalo.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Hello again

Well I haven't been able to run lately because of some very painful back pain. I went to the chiropractor today and so far I feel better. They did some muscle stimulation and an adjustment. We will see how I wake up in the morning. I really can't wait to get back running and biking because I need to start losing all this way I put back on. So we will see how that goes

Day 1 version 2.0

So let's see if we can start getting this weight loss thing back on track again. I have unfortunately been rather lazy the last couple of months I can make excuses all day ( too cold, back pain).  However, it was just being lazy. I have slacked off so much that I got myself back up to 280 lbs. I had been down to 250 pounds from original starting weight of 320 pounds, but I let the winter months get to me. So here I am starting again. I got up this morning at 2:30 stretched and then hit the road. I did 3.47 miles in 43:13 and burned 687 calories. So it is a little slower than my normal pace, but I will build it back up. I have to pay a lot more attention to what I'm eating again,  I'm straying away from my paleo choices. I am glad that fresh fruits are coming back into the stores it is a great time to get berries super cheap and freeze them for later. Also, The Gilcrease Orchard will be opening soon and I will be able to pick locally grown fresh vegetables and fruit with the family. My son loves to go and help pick fresh vegetables from the gardens.

We also added some new friends to the house, 2 Glofish danios named icky & stinky. My son was rewarded for doing well at school by his grandma.

I also received a gift from my friend of some classic game consoles. Hopefully soon I will be able to get them to work.

Have a good day all, I have plants that need tending to.
