I lost 3 more lbs this week. This gives my total weight loss so far at 24lbs, this is after one month. Feeling pretty good and looking forward to next month.
I am still debating what I want to do with my assistant coach and good friend as far as working together for weight loss. I am thinking about getting together after practice and doing something but i am not sure how much she wants to run.
Can't talk much today I am going to get on the treadmill.

One day to go
I weigh in for the 4th time tomorrow and I will give an updated account on how much weight I have lost so far. I was able to get back on the treadmill today so I am happy for that.
I am starting the third season of Biggest Loser and I am not sure how much I will like it as compared to the first two seasons but it will serve as a distraction while I am on the treadmill.
My wonderful soccer co coach has offered to do something together as a workout, however we are both stumped on what we want to do so I am going to have to give it some thought.
Last thought of the day... if we can go just 2 days without rain I might start up some frisbee golf since it has been so nice.

Back on Track
The past few days have been hectic do to soccer starting back up. I was on the soccer field from 7:ooam to 5:15pm working on evaluations. Yesterday was the first day I did not count calories, I did an approximation but did not actually count them. I have also not been keeping up with this blog which I plan to refocus on.
Yesterday I did not feel any real pain from my foot so I think I can get back on the treadmill. I don't expect a huge weight loss this week but I feel confident I will not have a gain either. I expect to redouble my efforts starting Monday.
I had a good sensible meal at a Mexican restaurant yesterday. I did not overindulge on cheese dip (which is my greatest weakness). I will also have some BBQ today and will watch my calorie intake and be sensible.
I am estimating losing 2-3 lbs this week and will make a plan to lose 10lbs next week by staying very strict that week after being so loosey goosey this week.
It was nice to be back on a soccer field and I look forward to practices again.

Rough Days
A few days without being on the treadmill has been rough. This blister on my foot has made walking hard and has severely limited my working out. I am not sure if I lost weight this week so far. I also bent a little to temptation on Tuesday. I ate right at or possibly more than my recommended max calorie intake. I did better Wednesday and today so far.
I am the type of person that can be single minded at times; especially, when I am focused on something specific. So losing the treadmill for these past three days has been discouraging but I hope that this time off will give me good results if not next Tuesday then the Tuesday after when I pick it back up again.
Random thought, do people with tourettes type curse words?

Weigh-in and the 4th week.
Well, I lost my 5lbs for the week. I almost regret eating the lasagna I did but I need to be happy I lost weight and just learn from my lessons. The bad news is that the blister on my right foot is not healing as fast as the others I have had and I think will keep me off the treadmill for a couple more days. So I will need to work on losing weight without the treadmill until this heals.
I know I can lose 2lbs a week just doing my calorie tracker but I don't want to lose weight at such a slow rate. I know some people lose weight by that and I am supportive of that but I have so much to lose that I should be losing more than the recommened 2lbs a week. If not it will be... a long time before I get to the weight I want. Granted it will be a while anyway but the more I can cut down the happier I will be.
So, since I will be off the treadmill today and possibly tomorrow I will work with some weights. Today I will do the P90x Chest and Back and tomorrow I will possibly do the P90x Arms. I will set a steady schedule for the P90x once I get close to 250.
If there are recommendations for workouts that keep you off your feet (or at least keep your feet from stomping) I always welcome it.
Also, do you feel these blogs are too short or a long enough for an everyday blog? Feel free to let me know.

Random Events
It is crazy how random events can distract you from workouts. We planned to go out as a family and play soccer or some baseball and I found out that my hot water heater is leaking. It could have easily taken us away from our plan but calm measures and I think we can get the hot water fixed and do some soccer/baseball.
I made some lasagna this weekend and while I had just planned to have just one square each day I ended up with two. Thankfully I made to where each square only had about 550 calories in it but it was still more than I was planning on. Thankfully I was still under my planned caloriesfor both days and I am still planning on losing some weight tomorrow (the amount may be different than I had originally planned).
I am hoping to have lost at least 5lbs for this week. We will see tomorrow.

It felt like I just went swimming
I was on the treadmill for about 2 and 1/2 hours yesterday. The result was my clothes were drenched in sweat (and a little bit of spilled water from trying to run and drink at the same time). I burned over 1150 calories and consumed about the same. I may try this one more time today because I am not sure how much of a workout I will get this weekend.
I thought I would be exhausted from my workout but I actually felt pretty good; I was still able to play with my son and clean up my backyard a bit. I can already feel the results of being on teh treadmill for two weeks and I hope by the end of one month I will be able to run two miles in 24 minutes.
It can be discouraging at times because I use to be able to do that. At one point I was running a 7 minute mile and I do miss that. In many ways it feels like I have to start over and I guess I kind of do. What got me discouraged in the past would be things like that but feel like I have a better mindset now. I am not focused on what has happened in the past (but I am aware of it so I can learn from it). I am focused on my weekly, monthly, and total goals.
