A day of rest

I don't want to go to the gym today. I might latter tonight but I am not doing the spinner class today. I woke up with a sore knee and a sore back.

This is day two of my two days off. I have split days coming so I decided I wanted a day of rest. I wanted a day where I could: 1) see my grandson.
2) mess around the house and play with my dogs.
3) Maybe actually hit my 360 for like 30 minutes!

I bought that thing a few months ago and have used it maybe twice....

Thing is, I like to read in bed before I go to sleep. Right now the book of choice is "The Wizards First Rule." It is a book in the style of Tolken with people on a quest etc.. I am really enjoying it and one of the things I love about the book is that it is BIG. Not is size, in width. I love books that are fun to read that go on forever!!!!! It has a good story to it....

So it is 9AM, I have to work tomorrow and as I have said, I like my job so there is no problem there. But today is my off day and off I go! I am sure I will be back with more before the day is done....

Side note: So Jay; Why no pictures of your food?
Well, the thing is, if I take pictures of my food, I have to think about what I am going to eat. If I have to think about what I am going to eat, I might not eat it. My exercise has been pretty steady but my food has not improved a whole lot. But I could not tell you that for sure as I have not taken pictures of it...

SOOOOO - OK, starting today... with lunch, I will start including my daily food in my blog again...

Bummer...

Dog park- Check- Vist friends- Check- then the GYM

So we are going to visit some neighbors then go to the gym. That is the plan.. We went to the dog park today and the doggies loved it!!!

We have some business with our awesome neighbors on the left.. Not to be confused with our awesome neighbors on the right... Then..

GYM

That is the plan, I am sticking to it.. I feel pretty good lately. I am still in the fat zone physically but mentally and emotionally I feel better. I am much more alert and alive and I do feel better

Back from the gym... 30 minutes at 80RPM's or better on the bike....

Tomorrow morning.... Spin class.. (If I can get there by 9AM)

......This will be a challenge........

Choices

Well, last night I wanted to work out but I did not. I had an event and I went, got home early enough but just did not feel it....

Today, I was to go to a breakfast but worked out for a little instead. It felt good to get some sweat going. It is almost time to go to work as I work a later shift today. I am tired. I need some rest.

My weekend starts tomorrow and I am stoked... I am soooo ready for just some ME time...

I don't feel bad about last night because I took care of me and read some of a book I am enjoying...

I feel good. Not great, not crappy, but good. And good is better than crappy. Exercise is a constant in my life now. Some, a little, a lot, it is there, on my mind each and every day and I am being good to me, I just need to get the food thing to a place where I feel good about that too...

Gymfest update

Well, not a great day at the gym but a good day none the less. I did my bicycle time and some rowing. Jen Lei had some probs with her gym equipment so overall,,,, this is a day I can say "I went!"

It was a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10 maybe a 6. Tomorrow I will do elliptical. I seem to get the best workout with that... I am also going to change my tunes a little.. Some of the songs are blah blah...


I don't think I have lost any major weight and I don't think many people or rather more than one is reading this but I did do this for me to see what I am doing on a day to day business and help me though the hard times...

I am happy with myself for getting back to the gym after my cold. I did not quit! That is BIG!

So, each day is a challenge, a good challenge, but a challenge none the less...

I am also going to start putting pictures of my food up again so I can see what I am eating and so can you! Aren't you excited??

Back from the Gym

So as you know, I am disgusted with my state of fatness. I went to the gym with my wife again today. I did the bicycle for 30 minutes keeping the RPM's at 80 or better for the whole 30 minutes.

It was a good workout, not a great one. I don't want to kick my own butt her but it was not unbelievably great, just good.

But I also have to remember that I told myself not to beat myself up if I went to the gym and did anything. And honestly, it was better than just anything...

So, I do feel better being home again. I did something and it was a challenge. It also helped my knee. I can tell it helped my knee.

So now I am considering Slim Fast.... Whatever; I am sick of the struggle to get the fat off. I am not quitting the struggle I am just sick of seeing my belly full of jelly that looks like it is all swelly...

And the doctor says....

So, I went to the doctor with my wife today. Looks like my knee is going to be fine with some good old fashioned exercise. I need to do some intense bicycling and that should do it... Something about the muscles around my knee cap or something..


The bad news is... I am tired of being fat. TIRED.... I purchased a new shirt today from Wall mart- Extra freakin large.... Could not button the top...

I am thinking of doing the slim fast just to get this freaking weight off. I hate HATE being fat...
And I am not pleasantly plump, a little pudgy, nicely round.. I am freaking FAT....

???HOW DID THIS HAPPEN???

I woke up one day and BANG there it is!!! I have some serious blubber. None of my clothes fit right. My shirt tops won't close. I am hating it,,,,,, hating it....

So, there you have it...

Thoughts for the day

It is bright and early. 7AM. I woke up from a strange dream which I don't need to talk about. My back hurt, but not my knee... The back hurt some, not a whole lot which is a good thing.

Yesterday, due to my schedule I was not able to go to the gym but I did take the dogs for extended walks and with my daughters dogs I did jog first with them for a little bit then a longer walk. I am OK with that.

Right now I am itching to hit the gym. I can't freakin believe it! I want to go to the gym. We will today. I don't won't to wake her, but the truth is, I may.... I need to tension release. Feels good to feel that way....

I put together a music thing for my workout so I can listen to stuff while I move....

That is all for now for my public blog...
