My Weight Loss

I worked out in the gym at work this morning, I burned over 1000 calories which is awesome.  While I was on the treadmill though I was thinking how my schedule is going to change the next few weeks.

All but my oldest son are leaving for a trip to Hawaii next week.  I will work from home a few of those days, but I will not have the good access to a gym like I previously had.

I weighed in after my gym workout to get an unofficial weight.  I was shocked it was 251.  Unfortunately it is not official.  Here it is

Weight: 256.0

So last night’s outing w/ coworkers was not too bad.  I survived.

I did drink something called a Jaeger Bomb, where Jagermeister is dropped into a larger glass of Red Bull.

Anyway, I got home at about 9PM fell quickly asleep but woke up WIDE awake at 1AM and could not sleep again till 4AM.

I was supposed to work out at 6AM but wasn’t able to till 8AM.  I am tired today but I did have a good workout in the gym.

So this weight is preworkout, but official.  There won’t be any more workouts for the rest of the day.

I will be in Canada the next 2 days so I will not have a weigh in but I should have a daily post.

Weight: 257.8

After work today I am going to have some drinks with a few coworkers to celebrate on of their birthday.

It’s going to be interesting because I am finally back under 260 and its may affect my weight.

Here’s the thing, although I have a goal and am agressively persuing it, I do not want it to affect some of the joys in life.  Like last week when I went to that Issaquah Salmon Festival.  Still there must be balance.

Today is kind of a rest day but I did have an excellent morning run, my 2 mile came in at 26:06 which is not a record but pretty good.

Weight: 257.4

Looks like I am back on track, I did have a pretty good gym workout today.

Burned over a 1000 calories this morning.

Unfortunately, my weight is still bad.  But this was a gym workout and the weigh in was before the workout.  We’ll see tomorrow after my short AM run.

Weight: 260.6

My weight seems to have settled ABOVE 260.   You know I notice a day or two after I stopped Lipo 6 it went up.  Furthermore I find myself snacking more.

Lipo 6 really does control my appetite.  So I will but another bottle of it.

Ran 2 miles this morning and hitting gym later.  My time was good, I attribute it to yesterdays rest.  I probably could have done better if I had more sleep.  But since not only did I rest yesterday, but did not work, I should not feel as sleepy.

Weight: 260.2

Title says it all, I too tired to keep running at peak.  Today I have taken the day off from work.  I was not going to take the day of from working out, but after my first and only 1 mile run, it was clear me body just could not do it.

It is evidenced by my mile run 16:05.74

So I am consciously taking a break.   Maybe a 2 mile walk this evening.

What caused this?  Couple things, I stated I stopped taking Lipo 6 which gives me energy, my foot hurts because I think my shoes need to be replaced after over 300 miles of travel, I pigged out over the past 3 days, and I am paying the price now, also last night I took an ambien so I could sleep.

Finally and this one is probably the factor that overrides the rest, I need to take care of some personal things.  They just need to be done, and it has been bothering me.  It is a bug in the back of my head, that is mentally slowing me down.

Today is that day I resolve a bunch of those issues.
