Seriously weather?

How is it that at 9 PM the temperature can read 99?

Diet Day 10 sometimes...

So today I woke up rather late and just got to work on time. I didn't get a chance to pack a lunch and my wife offered to come by and have lunch with me. I graciously accepted, but made some bad choices about my meal. Suffice it to say, I am having a sandwich for dinner, thankfully I only had oatmeal and tea for breakfast. Tomorrow I am going to try to stay closer to my 1500 calorie goal. Dieting is not at all easy, which is why so many people fail or give up. The key is having a goal and a reason for changing your life. Motivation is part of the equation and so are determination and perseverance. I personally refuse to believe that any one has to be fat. They might choose it, directly or indirectly, but it is something that can be changed. I plan on proving that to myself.

Diet Day 9

Back to the doldrums of work. However with that comes the consistency of a packed lunch and Breakfast before work. Now, as for the dinner portion of my day, there is still no consistency, but that is why they say variety is the spice of life.

Making time for family

An important thing to remember is making time for your family. You are only on the earth for a short while and you need to spend as much of it as you can with family. There is nothing more important than family.

Diet Day 8 water

I have found that water is very important to curbing my hunger. I have been drinking between 8 and 10 cups when bottled spring water is available. I don't care for tap water, so when that is all we have I tend to drink less. Starting this week I plan on really forcing myself to walk and drinking water will be key to me being able to do that. Especially in this weather, when it is supposed to be over 100 every day.

Diet Day 8 Broke 330

Well, the first in a small series of hurdles has been jumped over, so to speak. This morning my starting weight was 329.0 pounds. I am pretty sure since I broke 330 around February of this year I haven't seen a 32# pound number. Now next goal is to break 320 and so forth until I reach 250 which I don't have planned to do until well into next year. This is the first little reward and motivator for me to keep going and I certainly will. I think it may be time to be more conscious about exercise and really make sure I get a mile in and I suppose I need to sit around the house less, which means fewer hours watching TV.

Diet Day 7

So no lunch today, probably because of a late breakfast, and yesterday's over calorie experience.  So today was pasta and imitation crab, but to be frank - I probably should've eaten lunch because I had two helpings of dinner, still around 1500 calories for the day.

I also got a haircut today.  It feels so nice to not have to deal with hair and I personally think it might help me with my weight loss, slightly, but every ounce counts when you're trying to lose weight.  Didn't get around to yard work today, it was too hot and I woke up too late.  Maybe tomorrow I can get some of it done.  I did clean house today.  So, that's something I suppose.  Being sunburnt seems to make you want to not do anything - or so I have found.  Who knows.
