Success! I am out of the 260s yet again. I have learned that it is a fight to not only achieve these milestones, but I need to keep on fighting to maintain them. It can be so easy to take my foot off the gas when I achieve a goal. Hey, why not, I worked hard to get here. Shouldn't I be rewarded with--FOOD?! We see that attitude has gotten me.

Yesterday I was thinking about fasting all day. I didn't do that because I have been working out with weights and I want to build some muscle mass. That isn't going to happen without food, specifically protein. So I did eat, but thankfully I didn't eat after 5 p.m. I also exercised and had 8 hours of sleep. I also mowed the lawn and that helped to burn some calories. It felt great to be rewarded on the scale this morning with losing enough weight to get out of the 260s.

Today is going to be a great day. I have a full day of work to keep me busy and I'm going to watch my son play guitar at an event tonight. That will keep me busy and it is so fun to watch my son play his original music that I shouldn't be tempted to eat after 5 p.m. My challenge for the next few days is to get as far from the 260s as possible. We'll see what happens today and we'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning!

I Need To Get Out Of The 260s! 261.5 pounds. + 0.4 pounds today, - 1.2 pounds this week, - 4.5 pounds this month, - 18.5 pounds since May 1, - 71.5 pounds from my all-time high of 333 pounds.

Well, at least I didn't gain a whole pound. Last night I took my daughter out on a little date and we went on a drive to Stillwater, then we drove to our favorite restaurant in St. Croix Falls called Poco Loco. The food there is delicious. I was outside of my eating window as I ate after 5 p.m. I also didn't exercise as I'm trying to have the soreness in the IT band in my left leg go away. Finally, I didn't have a good night of sleep. All of this combined to make me gain weight, but not as much as I thought I would all things considered. Today should be a better day. I have a full day of work and if I can keep from eating after 5 p.m. perhaps I'll lose weight. I won't be exercising and I hope to get a good night of sleep. We'll see what happens today and we'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning!

Fantastic! 261.1 pounds. - 1.6 pounds today, - 1.6 pounds this week, - 4.9 pounds this month, - 18.9 pounds since May 1, - 71.9 pounds from my all-time high of 333 pounds.

I'm amazed at what I saw this morning on the scale. I ate more than I should have yesterday, and I ate after 5 p.m., which I shouldn't have, and somehow I still managed to lose weight. The only thing I can think is that I worked pretty hard vacuuming and shampooing the carpets throughout the house. I haven't been biking for about a week because I have pain in my IT band in my left leg. One of the best treatments is rest, so resting my leg I will do. But yesterday I actually managed to exercise by working on the carpet. It took me over 3 hours to finish the task.I'm guessing it was all that work that did the trick. Today is going to be a better day. I have a full day to keep me busy. I hope to not eat after 5 p.m. Let's see what happens today and what the scale says tomorrow morning!
