Pregnant wife and winter time is killing me at the moment. Been re-arranging the house much of the week to prepare for kid 3, which meant a lot of fast food this week, plus a few extra beers. Was hoping all the lifting and moving would help. It did not. Hopefully I can improve this week and maybe talk the wife into some healthier options for dinner, though it is hard when we are both tired after all the work we have been doing around the house, not to mention me 9-5. Spring can't get here fast enough so that I can get to walking and playing with the boys outside which is usually good for my weight.

Very happy with my progress, overall. Still averaged just under 2500/day calories for the week, but I've been doing a ton of exercise (3-4 hours/day) and it's helped. My legs are getting much more chiseled as I've been walking and running constantly. I also ran my first 10 KM run. Clocked in at 1:10:12, and I hope to be under an hour within a few weeks of practicing.

Also got to see a couple of softball teammates out at a show and they were kind of shocked. I've lost 25 lbs since the season ended, so I was telling them about getting into shape so that I can come into camp and play at a higher level. Pretty awesome to see how excited they were.

Also got to break out that one shirt I love that's been packed away for 5 years, so that was pretty awesome.

[heyelander]

Was under the weather most of last week so i didn't get to the gym. usually when I'm sick I don't want to eat, but didn't have that problem this time. the only diet complication was that water tasted bad, so I didn't drink nearly as much as I had been. Plus, I'm a huge fidgeter and had a dive club meeting thursday night. Sitting around trying to pretend I am a social person without something to fuss with means i eat a ton of snacks (peanuts, goldfish, nachos etc...) just to keep busy.

That said, I was thrilled to be down another 1.5 this week to 203.

214/203/199 - now 189.

I've been slacking and kinda down about it and haven't posted in a bit.

That said I started at 279 and I'm currently at 276 and I'm really working on rededicating myself.

Stop playing Star Wars and take Coop on a long walk

Oh btw haven't been participating in this thread, but been reading it with interest since i'm doing my own diet/exercise regime also down 14 pounds since the new year. I try to walk/run 2-4 miles a day and with my job it's pretty easy to do that and some. Biggest change was diet. Haven't had fast food/take out since i started unless you count Subway which i "cheat" with once a week with their healthy subs.

[heyelander]

No fast food here either since the new year, which is a huge change for me. I use to be probably 4-5 times a week. No french Fries. Also haven't had red meat since NYE. I'm not planning on cutting it out completely, but I'm really trying to cut down.

I do have a hankering for a nice burger though. Maybe once I hit 199 I'll celebrate with one before continuing on to 189.

I've replaced the fast food burgers and fries mostly with turkey hoagies (shorties from WAWA instead of the classics I use to eat), chicken tacos from chipolte, or turkey meatball subs. I know they aren't the best choices I can make, but they are a hell of a lot better than the choices I use to make and have me moving in the right direction.

Goal by Opening Day 260

I was hoping for a better week, but I always say, down is down. Hopefully, this week will continue in the downward trend. 260 by Opening Day might not be a realistic goal, but this keeps me focused.
