I'm up 2 pounds on my weigh-in and down 1.25 inches on my measurements--just about all the decrease is in my abdomen, which I suspected. As far as the gain in pounds, I didn't put in the work. I did so early in the week, but it really fizzled over the weekend. I have to stay very close to this and watch things closely as well. Onward I go!

even though it was a slow ride around the block, you did it! if you hadn't, those health benefits of being outside and getting your body moving wouldn't have happened!
Donkey on 08/21/2007:
Well, I sure hope to take your advice and get in some exercise today. I would even settle for bad exercise. Or not-so-good exercise, even. I'm turning into a blob.
Start: 189 (June 2001)
4-Day Challenge (T-W-Th-F) with these goals: no more than 60g fat and 1900 cal; at least 20% Activity cals/day. For Friday I accomplished no goals. Part of it was needing some rest, thus not much exercise, and I was quite hungry again.
As for the goals, I think I'll go ahead and start another short challenge tomorrow, these are good things for me to shoot for in alot of ways. I may need to tweak it a little, but I'd like to continue on this track for the next week or so. If I have a day that's high calorie for every 3 or 4 lighter days I'm not going to have a fit. I just don't want to plan for overeating/"free day" in hopes that I can get in a little better groove overall. Free days never have worked for me.

i guess you have chosen a good food/calorie plan that is working for you! keep up the good work. i like how you "agree to disagree" with people on this site. It makes us question ourselves and what we do. it's good critical opinion!

4-Day Challenge (T-W-Th-F) with these goals: no more than 60g fat and 1900 cal; at least 20% Activity cals/day. For Wednesday I accomplished none of the goals.
It took me forever to do my workout and I could have eaten even more--it's a wonder I didn't!!! One of those days--and fortunately today is much better;-)
Plan for today: Bike ride, Walk, NTrk
Hope you get some good exercise today!
i actually went back in your journal to read some of your earlier entries. It was interesting to read how you changed in your diet after awhile of working at your job and started eating more and more. you wouldn't believe it...or maybe you would...but this is exactly what happened with me. not my job...but senior year of high school until now. for some reason, i just started to continuously eat...till after being full. unable to stop. in college i ate all the goodies available...and we had some really tasty foods. my school had good cafeterias compared most.
anyways, have a good day...keep up the good work...like you have been lately~

hi! thank you sooo much for taking the time to write and answer the questions that i left you. It all makes a lot of sense. You wrote saying how it's amazing that some people are on this site so long and it's as if they aren't moving foward...but i think you totally have been since you started. first of all, you did lost weight and keep it off. and, you've always continued your physical activity. of course, we have our up and down days.

I'm down a pound on my weigh-in today! For my measurements I'm down a little more than an inch since last time (7.24).
I didn't get in every planned activity, but given the heat I think I made the best of it. On my 12-min Test I jogged the whole 12 minutes and after checking the route, it was .9 mile--this was outside right before dark, about 88�F (31�C). I don't even remember the last time I jogged, but all things considered .9 mile (Fair to Poor for my age group) was more than I could have hoped for!
Today starts my 4-Day Challenge (T-W-Th-F) with these goals: no more than 60g fat and 1900 cal; at least 20% Activity cals/day.
Plan for today: Bike ride, walk, NTrk
Hope you get some good exercise today!
you are doing well. do you sometimes not comment on my diary because you don't want to respond to certain things i write? i was just wondering. what i mean is, do you sometimes feel like i am being too cynical or just plain self-destructive...or, who knows...maybe even juvenile. i was just wondering if you ever thought it.

my mom has always been like that. if i desperately need a white shirt, she'd say "no way" to borrow it. she's very territorial. I say, "it comes with the territory," of living at home. haha!
Start: 189 (June 2001)
For my activity lately:
For my Tuesday weigh-in last week I was down a bit--no measurements. I'll do a 12-min test (jogging) today. Been writing down my food in my little notebook--no Fitday lately!
What a great workout I had last week--42 each military and sissy pushups; chair dips; used 13 pound dumbbells for my weightlifting--lunges, squats, bic curls, tri k'back, deadlifts, calf raises, bent-over rows, shoulder presses, upright rows; two sets of "my regular" abs, which is 75 bicycle crunches/35 leg lifts/75 bic crunches repeated; then side abs--hate 'em! Not in that order--it's a good little workout that serves me just fine right now:-)
Tomorrow I'll start a 4-Day Challenge (T-W-Th-F) with these goals: no more than 60g fat and 1900 cal; at least 20% Activity cals/day. At least 100 oz/day of water is implicit in this one--it's so damn hot!
I lost my watermelon (and didn't even notice) while searching for my car. A very nice man pointed it out and even retrieved it for me!
I made a little ticker for an interim goal to lose about 10 pounds just as a small reminder:-)
Plan for today: Bike ride, jog/walk, NTrack, maybe a Circ Wkt (we'll see)
Hope you get some good exercise today!
I love the ticker...I may try to do that myself (but my real goal now is just to build muscle and loose what i have recently gained...)
I like your own goals on exercise and calories.

Start: 189 (June 2001)
For my activity:
I had so much weedeating to do that I pushed myself like a blithering idiot, which resulted in great big gobs of muscle spasms, stiffness and pain yesterday. Needless to say I didn't get the bike ride or walk in on Friday!
My back is much better today. It shows that I should break these jobs up when the work is out of hand AND that I could use more consistency in my circuit workouts (weight training). AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN . . . I tell ya' it gets old, but I don't know what the alternative is. Giving up to some degree doesn't work, because I find myself two steps back every time. EVERY single TIME! I just have to persevere and do what I can to build on it all.
Plan for today: Bike, jog/walk
Hope you get some good exercise today!

I read somewhere that gardening is one of the main causes of injury in the home. There is nothing worse than stiffeneing up after exercising muscles you dont normally use. Take it easy Biscottibody !!
gerri on 08/07/2007:
good on the excerise .. i watched a progarm today on "you and your diet" with dr mike , he had some interesting things to say .. #1 tip was the only thing white in your kitchen (other them dairy)should only be cauliflower,fish and eggs # two tip was bet a buddy for excerise (one you can count on to give you heck if you dont) and phone her/him and let then know when you have done your walk/jog/bike whatever for the day ... i'll let you know if it works

Your plan for today looks a bit too energetic for me and I'm useless at gardening!!! Hope it goes well for you. Have a great weekend :o)
Horn_Of_Plenty on 08/24/2007:
you know what i've learned...sometimes, when i plan too much for myself, i get discouraged because i know its too much exercise and i do none...lately, this isn't the case and i'm doing great...sometimes when you feel like you don't want to do the exercise..say, "i'm gonna do only 10 minutes and then i'll see how i feel," usually you'll want to continue after 10 min.
