Slim-Fast rich chocolate Royale shake mix isn't bad. Not too sweet. After 14 shakes of the French vanilla in 8 days, this is a welcome change.
2.5 miles this morning, then ran 2.5 miles outside this afternoon while boys were practicing soccer.
Missed going to the gym today, though it was Saturday. Not Sunday when the gym closes early. Oh well, no big loss. Weighed myself this morning and I was down to 262.6lbs. Now this is likely mostly water weight from sweating like a demon yesterday and I expect to gain most of it back over the next couple days. Would be nice if it's real.
Up to 230.8.
Gained 2 pounds over the weekend. Ran 8 miles, Slim-Fast shakes for breakfast and lunch, banana mid morning and mid afternoon.
Dinner/after destroyed the day. Two beers Friday night. Greek chicken pasta dish, desserts, cheeses Friday night, Wings and BBQ sauce and fries Saturday night, with chips later, and Sunday more Greek chicken pasta, cheese and crackers, and two nutri grain bars. But I've eaten worse, so it is disheartening, even though I know that wasn't good to eat.
I have to stop my obsession with daily weighing too.
Tuesday's weigh in had me at 221.4, I got on the scale Saturday and was 219.2.
Interestingly enough I haven't really done much since vacation in the way of diet or exercise. I simply have not had the time to exercise, but have have been running crazy with chores and errands and I suppose that's helped.
I'd like to get close to 215 by the 4th of July so I imagine I'm going to have to get some discipline and start regular exercise.

I'm still a lazy bas$@&$d and have not got back in the exercise groove. My Tuesday weigh in had me at 221.2, so I guess I'm staving off weight gain with outdoor activity, and limited junk food forages.
Moderation I suppose seems to be working..
Oh well, off to mow the lawn that'll be my exercise for today, followed by icy cold watermelon.

If you are watching your diet, that is all you need to do to maintain or lose weight. You don't get the other health benefits of working out though.Quote:

I'm going backwards, at least with being active. I got my Tuesday Fitbit update and I didn't even average 4K steps/day last week. I was averaging closer to 8k/day with minimal exercise, and 10k/day with exercise 5 days/wk.
Good news is I'm staying right around 222ish, with little exercise.
My biggest excuse for not exercising is lack of time. I've had to be somewhere after work every day for the last three weeks... Or so it seems. I've never been a later in the night (past 8:00) exerciser.
I really need to start at least attempting to try and get back inti some type of routine.

I've been more active in the last couple of weeks, and that has helped.
Took yesterday off, but will be back with it. It is helping that my son is in his "summer training" mode, so I can get some exercise when he does. Our schedules don't always mesh, but it has helped.
"Down" to 227.0. That's not nearly enough, but it's the lowest it's been in awhile. Hopefully I can push it lower. If I can get it under 220, that will be a mental breakthrough to me of sorts.
That's great!! Sounds like you've been putting in the work and it looks like it's starting to pay off. Minus three lbs in two weeks ain't too shabby.Quote:

Darrell, on a healthy note, there is a great restaurant that Kingseve took me to today over close to your estate. It is Eli's Jerusalem Restaurant. Heavy mediterranean influence. It is in Inverness behind the Wendy's on 280 right next door to salvatore's
I'll have to try that, Mick. I'm next door to it most Saturday nights (Ixtapa). We need a healthy change.Quote:

That. Is. Fantastic. Great work, Pedro.Quote:

Great job!!Quote:

Cant get below 185--it's alkyhol.
Walking 4.1 miles every am, at a sub 15 minute/mile pace
Had a woman say to me last week, "I remember the fit Jeff Krauss, what the h have you been eating?"
185? Man I'd settle for 205. 185 is outstanding!!Quote:

Was down at 249.3 last Friday, then 4th of July weekend visiting family and friends hit. This meant lots of salt-ladden high calorie foods with my family and good beer with friends. I tried to eat moderately carefully, but for sure two days I went well over my limit. This overage was mainly due to the beer with friends; dark beer has a LOT of calories. Additionally, the salt meant really heavy water retention.
The end result? Post weekend I weighed 255.7 lbs. Now I know it was physically impossible to gain that much weight in fat, in that time frame, so it was likely water retention from the salty food. Sure enough, by today I'm back down to 249.6. So around 0.5 lbs gained this weekend, if I include the weight lost from the last two days of dieting. That seems reasonable, based on the amount I estimate I went over.
223.6 I'm going the wrong way. The number of sedentary days is starting to surpass the active days.
I need to get motivated and get back to exercising at least 3 days/wk..

No idea what this week is doing. I'm sweating like crazy, decent steps per day in sweltering heat, but eating poorly, as you would expect on vacation. Drinking tons of water. I have almost two quarts with me that get refilled during the day as I consume them. But eating may be destroying all of it. I'm rooting for a wash.
^I don't worry about what I eat when I'm on vacation. (May be 1 reason why I'm still where I am.)
When I go to Disney I eat basically whatever I want and usually stay even. I think it's the massive amount of walking. For example, my average walking day at home is around 11,000 steps. One day at Epcot I walked over 19,000.
I'll go with that theory. The heat of the day hasn't hit yet, and it is currently 107 on the heat index as I melt, so my brain cells aren't working well either.Quote:

What's troubling to me is I usually hang around the same weight through the summer, this year I'm starting to creep up, I was at 224 this morning.
Back to the machine starting today. I'd like to get back to where I was before vacation in May (216-217). I'm not too far out of shape with all the summer activity the problem is there is no consistency/routine. I've got to get a regular routine going.
Basically I have to quit being lazy... Go figure!

More than 40k steps the last two days. Will weigh Tuesday morning. I feel heavy.
Banggood has the MiBand 2 on sale for $36 shipped. Contrary to what I expected, prices have gone through the ROOF on the MiBand 2. It was pre-ordering at $38. Prices are now running in the upper forties to fifties. Pretty much ALL of the reviews foor this
http://www.banggood.com/Original-Xia...p-1057324.html
Use coupon code miband27 to knock $10 off bring the price down to $36.
Disappointing. But I really don't like wearing wristbands anyway, so I guess it's ok. Glad the product seems as good as advertised.
230.8. Uggh. I ate terribly, but was hoping against hope walking and sweating would counter it.
223.4 Tuesday. I did start getting back in exercise shape, I'll be up to 10 minutes by the start of next week, hopefully 20 minutes by the end of next week. Then it's 40 minutes five days a week.

225.0. May have had a "heavy" weigh-in when I returned, and a light one today, but pleased nonetheless.
I'm still hanging between 222-223, I'm finally back in cardio shape and should start 30 minutes/day five days/week workouts starting Sunday

Just signed in at 239.4 this morning. A nice drop after being plateud for a week. This hits my real goal of 240 for my trip about two weeks early. I don't think I'll hit my stretch goal of 230,but that's ok. I got my main goal.

Dropped to 222.0, but back to 225.2 this morning.
By the way, if you get ice cream cravings a lot. There are a lot of ultra low calorie ice creams out now. Artic Zero (found at WalMart) is the easiest to find but the least quality, Halo Top can be found at most Krogers I think and tastes MUCH better. They tend to run 150-300 calories a PINT (instead of 4x that much a pint on average).
