I have about one month before my next PT test, and I start teaching tomorrow. Both of those are good reasons to start this up again and see how well I can do: the first gives me a goal and a timeframe and the second gives me a "fresh start" of sorts. I was 223.5# this morning (not quite hovering... rising slightly over the past month) but just now I was 221#. granola bar - 90 cal, 20 fat cal, 2g fat, 0.5g sat fat, 19g carb, 1g fiber, 1g protein Propel - 25 cal, 0 fat cal, 0g fat, 0g sat...

I weighed 224 this morning, but that was without PT. If I didn't have the Color Guard event, I would've been at the gym sweating out 2-3lb of water weight, so I'll still count it as progress (which isn't all that important, anyway, as it was just one day). I chose a few things that were very similar to yesterday, but I tried to change up my lunch/dinner entrees, rotate my fruit servings... and I managed to skip my lunch salad and the afternoon "snack" dairy/protein. 1 glass (16oz) Crys...

Having a four week supply for free, I figured I ought to at least give it a shot. My weight went up over the six weeks I had my sons this summer and I'm looking for this to kick start my losses. Hopefully, coupled with a renewed interest in diet and exercise (maybe they won't interfere with my PT sessions too much this month) this will garner some real results. My weight this morning: 224 (after PT) PT was weight lifting while I watched the soldiers on profile: 3 sets, 8 reps bicep ...

The weight that I had managed to take off earlier this year was almost entirely replaced over the past 7 weeks. 6 weeks of having my sons with me for the summer, plus one week in the field: I ate way too much during both of those periods of time, for various reasons. Honestly, I just didn't feel like policing myself with the kids here, preparing entirely separate meals for us, and was rather tired just dealing with day-to-day stuff anyway. I continue to increase the amount of respect that ...

So, I'm still not observing strict dietary science right now. My PT has suffered... and it's due to my own slackening willpower and lack of planning. Blaming my kids' visit is convenient but not entirely honest. Having said that, I'm still trying to keep my calories under control (without logging anything, which is really just guess work). I'm trying to be more inventive with PT (occasional light sets with the dumbbells that I have in my living room, taking the boys to the pool). And, ...

I'm losing steam on the accountability logs. I had started off not doing calorie counts on Saturday and Sunday and then that extended to Fridays. Then, if it were a long weekend, it would likely extend to Thursday. Now, this past weekend, I not only had a 3-day weekend but I picked up my sons for the summer. Eating healthy with them around is tricky. I have a compulsion not to waste food, and I'm inexperienced at making meals for three. Add to that the weight-loss plateau I had hit th...
