Weekly Weigh-in

Well, I had a pretty good week. I gained .2 pounds, but I seemed to have stopped the bleeding. I think I ran into a problem when I stopped doing Herbalife. It was working well and then I got in the middle of moving and I ran out of the stuff so I haven't been even thinking about my diet. I've been eating better and working out this week and I think things are back on track. I will go back to Herbalife in July after I get done moving and get settled and that should help as well, but until then I will just be careful with what I'm eating. I am going out of town for 2 weeks so I hope I can at least maintain this disaster during that time.

bad news

well I finally worked up the courage to weigh myself again and it was just as bad as I expected. 270.4! This is the most that i have ever weighed in my life and I have been trying to lose weight since last August. It kind of makes me feel like the last year of my life has been a total failure in this department. I worked out twice yesterday and plan on going to the gym again today. It should come off pretty quickly at first because the last 10 pounds or so have gone on pretty fast. All I know to do is to keep working... I have been thinking about going to see a counselor or something to help me figure out why this is such a hard thing to do. The first thing to do is to get back to posting my weight EVERY week regardless of how well I am doing!

La vida loca

My life has been crazy lately. After my finger infection problems were followed by shoulder and hip problems, I have been traveling to do weddings, finishing a chapter of my dissertation, and moving out of my house into a storage facility. Needless to say, I have not been working out regularly or watching what I eat. After doing a wedding in San Antonio last weekend and partying with some good friends, I think I am probably back to where I was almost a year ago. I am disappointed, but mostly I am motivated. I am living with friends for a few months while I look to buy a house, and during this time i am going to really strive toward two one-hour workouts a day and eating healthy. I will face the music and weigh in tonight or tomorrow, and then I will know what I am working from, but I can tell from how my clothes are fitting that it will not be good news!
