About Me

I am a geek who doesn't look like one (so I'm told). I love talking about anything for far too long. I'm turning into my father... Which is great because I had a great Dad. I'm sure my kids won't think this while they are growing up, but with luck.. later on they will.

I’m NOT the biggest loser!

Update. My workout plan is still underway. I have not lost any traction in terms of how often I get to the gym. When I’m there I’m doing all the right stuff. And my results.. well.. now I understand why dieting/working out when the goal is weightloss is such a difficult thing to accomplish. I supposed the hard part is to remember that if your body is like mine, your weight will go up and down as your body figures out what to do now that you are doing all of this exercise and a modified diet.

All this being said, currently I’m about 1.5 pounds behind.

Weight Goal for this week: 211.5 lbs
Current weight: 213 lbs

I’m quite happy with the progress. If you had asked me yesterday I would have not been so excited though. Sunday, the babysitter that we had wanted McDonalds for lunch (a normal thing for teenagers) and Lisa and I each had some. What a mistake!!! I've officially now banned McDonalds. My weight on Sunday - 218!!!! Wahh all of my progress? Where did you go? On to better things.

I’ve got the best problem in the world at the moment. All of my pants are TOO BIG!!! It is starting to look ridiculous, but I don’t care. It is the look of SUCCESS!!

I had a visit with my personal trainer. She is a young woman who is trying to kill me. I’m sure it is all for my own good, but now every time I’m doing my circuit training I can hear her saying “You can do more than that! How about more weight… More weight!”

I even felt compelled to up my weight on all of my circuit training exercises this week lest I get email (yes she leaves messages on the fitlinxx system for me and checks my progress – www.fitlinxx.com ). So just in case she happens to see this..

Anna I’ve been going I swear!!!

Tomorrow I’m going to up my weight by another 5lbs on most machines.. Today was pretty easy (I had upped it again by 5lbs on most of the machines). Pushing myself is something I’ve never had any issues with (once I get the ball rolling that is).

Ugh.. just remembered… Tomorrow is a cardio only day. Guess I’ll have to run like a banshee. I think I need some new music for the mp3 player.
