Successful week!

-
This past weekend I was out of town on a soccer club trip so I definitely got some walking in but didn't track food. Monday I started tracking my food. All week I've tracked everyday and been at least 600 calories under what myplate says I should be to lose 2lbs a week, except Wednesday, I was 30 calories over. Apparently a bag of microwave popcorn is 500 calories!!! So much for my favorite evening snack. Which really I shouldn't have. I've walked 2 miles each day this week. I haven't gotten any bike riding in, but maybe this weekend. Lunchtime walking hasn't been working well. It's stupid busy at work and so hot I've been in a full lather. Tuesday I got my walk in while my son had soccer practice in. Since Wednesday I've gotten up early to do my walking. I've done the stairs the days I'm in my main office, one day after a luncheon I even did them a second time. My manager and some coworkers went up with me. My legs were pissed ...

5 Years later, Really?

-
So it's been over 5 years since I started this blog. How did that go so quickly? Anyway I suppose it's an accomplishment that I'm still the same size as I was 5 years ago, but it sure feels like a hollow victory. I need to find a way to start making some incremental progress. It's going to be a long process I'm sure of. I turned 40 years old last October and I seriously don't know that I'll live to see my kids graduate HS at this point much less know my grandkids. My short term approach increase my activity level and cut down on my food intake. The intake is the key to losing weight, my head knows this but it doesn't stop me from snacking or over indulging at meals. Activity level is a little easier for me to tackle, most days I take the stairs up to my 5th floor cube in the mornings. I've been taking a nearly 2 mile walk at least 3 times a week. It makes a huge difference, I feel much better. I got a bike for father's day last yea...

Couple days late still on track

-
Friday was very hectic, so I didn't get my post up.  Left the house at 6:30 to grab some butts to smoke Saturday before work.  I got home from the boys soccer camp at 9:30 and had to prep them to go on the smoker at 6 am.  I did my walking during his camp and I was brutally reminded why I get up do that in the mornings!!!  It was 95 degrees and that track has very little shade.  Also very hard to keep pushing for 2 miles on a track.  Much better motivation to keep going when your a mile from the house and your only option to quit is call your wife for a ride home!!! I got the smoker loaded Saturday by 6:30 am and crawled in bed last night just before midnight!  Long long days. Today I had to tame the yard.  Had to do it in the heat of the day to avoid the rain that was coming.  Kept hoping it would start and save me.  Afterwards someone told the boy that boardwalk Billy's was the best place around to Pokemon.  So I took him over...
