Week 17 Day 4

Here is a little something to get things going:

 

Today was a 2.9 mile jog with my wife in the AM to get me going.  I felt better than Tuesday but still not like it was easy.  I have a long way to go still.

I had a great day of work, I was busy but not totally physically drained and sore like some days.   I only needed 2 advil today so that was good too.  I ate well and realize I am eating better, and it is easier while working in the construction areas.  I am too busy to stop and take a long break.  I am not bringing junk so I am eating well with fruit and Special K bars for snacks and I pack lunch.  This is a winning combination for me. (WINNING! says Charlie).

I decided to do a cardio workout in the afternoon and heading to Bally’s so I could weigh myself also.  The scale was not kind.

I can’t blame the scale, it was all me.  I ate too much crap foods and too much quantity of foods this holiday weekend and lost out on twice a day workouts so I gained.  I am OK with what went down since I hosted a party for friends I have not seen in years, and we caught up.  I am now fearful though I am going to miss my 26 week goal now as I had another week of lost weight loss.  I hope to make up some of the deficit, but I don’t think I will be seeing any 5-8 pounds of weight lost a few weeks in a row.  Who knows.

Anyway, at the gym this afternoon I did 30 minutes on the elliptical machine.  I guess I will need to bump that up to 45 minutes or more to get back on track.

I have eaten well and am at 2,074 calories consumed so far.  I might have some fruit before going to bed so that may go up 100 calories.  I feel good and am looking forward to tomorrow!
