January 2, 2010

Hello all. Here we go again. I am writing this past midnight, but I am still calling it Jan 2nd. So far so good. Today I went with my friend Kyle to Subway and we tried the new BBQ Chicken sub. Not bad, but I wished I would have gotten the oven roasted chicken breast. I drank diet lemonade and had 1oz of Doritos. Next time I am not going for the meal deal. I don't need the Doritos.
I want to thank Sean Anderson again for posting the You Tube video from the talk that he gave at a weight loss seminar. I could watch that everyday. It's nice to know I have access to that when I feel I am having a week moment.
Tonight I bought a 1/2 price bag of m&m's. Not to eat, but to hang in front of my computer. I not only have to exercise my body, I have to exercise my mind. I want to see just how strong of a person I can be. I want the to be hanging there on Jan 1, 2011.
I am going to post alot more pictures on my blog. To remind me why I am doing this and to watch the progression and change. Like Sean says, they may not be flattering, they do make for great before pictures. Thats what I want BEFORE pictures...not STILL shots.

Happy New Year to my readers old and new. I know I don't have many now, but I would like to think that someday I will have more followers reading the blogs I write today.

Happy New Year!! Technically it's Jan 1st (it's 12:09) Told myself that I was going to be a better blogger this year. That was one of my resolutions, along with about seven more. Of course losing weight was #1 on my list AGAIN!! Saving money, more exercise, get more sleep, buy less, eat out less, drink more water yada yada yada. I couldn't wait for the new year..the new decade...the new me.
I have a new outlook on my health. A few weeks ago we found out that my Aunt Judy has stage 4 cancer that has spread throughout her body. This is a lady that is one of the nicest people that I have ever met. My niece remains a strong inspiration as well. She made it into her gyms local magazine and one of their success stories. She has worked her ass off and through it all has lost 65 pounds. WAY TO GO STEPH!!! I see a new person with even more self esteem than she already had. She is really living the life that she deserves to live. I also want to thank Sean Anderson for being one of the best success stories and a "huge" inspiration. Even if you don't have to lose weight, I suggest you read his "400 days plus" blog THE DAILY DIARY OF A WINNING LOSER. They should make that into a book...maybe even a movie!
The biggest inspiration would be the camera. I continue to be reminded about my condition through pictures and video when I play out in my band RABID AARDVARKS.

Here's to a awesome 2010!

Damn,,,it's been awhile since I wrote anything. I think the only way this works is to write EVERY DAY!! Write it all down, the good days, the bad days, the eats, the cheats...EVERYTHING. Live and learn from you blogs. The most successful weight loss bloggers are the ones that write everyday. I want to be one of them...I can be one of them!!

Wow... 2 days is a row, told you I would do it! Good day for eating. I had a turkey sandwich for lunch and white meat chicken and baked beans for supper. I got some exercise tonight..kinda. I am in the process of some fall cleaning. I am looking for stuff to sell on ebay/craigslist. A person really does accumulate a lot of stuff over the years. Its alot like losing weigh. Get rid of the stuff you dont need/want. I feel I am back on the right track. 2010 is fast approaching and I want to have a good head start for the new year.

October 18, 2009 I hit the refresh button

Hello all. I just hit the refresh button on my life. Computers have refresh buttons, so do I. I struggled with the idea of starting a new blog and deleting this one. But the better solution would be to continue this one and use it as a "what not to do learning experience" It was 2 years ago today that I started a weight loss program. I went on to lose 45 pounds and felt and looked better than I have in 10 years. What happened? I don't know.
My mom just turned 70 on Saturday and it was a great excuse to eat this weekend. pizza and cake on Friday and Lasagna and pie on Sat. Hell, it even made it ok to eat bad today.

I have to do this....I can do this!!!
REFRESH!!!

Wow...so much for writing every day. Pretty busy weekend. Today I spent the day at a Les Paul benefit taking pictures and video. I had a pizza burger and fries. Not the best choice, but that was all I ate. When I got home I had 2 heathy crepes that my dad makes out of wheat flour and low fat sour cream and sugar free jelly. Friday and Saturday I stayed on the program as well. I have been keeping myself busy with projects that I have been putting off. Luckily I still have a lot of projects that should help me keep my mind of of my habits. Notice I didn't say eating. Its still the bad habits that are hard to break, not the amount or type of foods that I eat.
Tomorrow is the GAME of the YEAR! Brett Favre will be facing the Green Bay Packers. I never thought I would see this, and I am actually rooting a little for Favre. I am definitely in the minority here in Packerland.

Have a great upcoming week. I hope to have some of my bloggers following me again.

Hello all! Welcome to October. This is my favorite month. Leaves are changing, not so hot out, Halloween is coming up and the barn party is in a few weeks!
Had a good eating day. Had two meatballs for lunch, and sourkraut and potatoes for dinner. Drank more water than usual too. Kept myself busy this evening by clearing out my DVR. It was at 95% full. I also tried to learn Photoshop Elements. Thats a movie making program from Adobe. I learned how to do YouTube finally.
There are 92 days left for the year 2009. I figure I can make quite a big diffence weight wise and have a great head start into the upcoming year. High School reunion is coming up remember?
