Weekly Update

Sorry about the late posting, but Monday was a beyond early start to the day. Grrrr.... ;) Anyways, this week has been okay as far as the weight loss has gone. It really has been a tale of positives and negatives. On the plus side of things, working out is easier each day in the fact that my body is getting used to fact that it is being asked to do more than to be a desk jockey all day long. My overall demeanor seems to be happier as I am more active, plus I am able to do the pants dance. (For those of you that have had weight to lose you know what I am talking about. Its that oh so welcome feeling of the pair of pants that used to be tight, now having new found freedom, as you continue to lose weight.)

On the negative side of things, food is still a challenge. I am really needing to buckle down, and get better at food preparation. There are no two ways about it. I am great at monitoring my intake when I do this, but man oh man when I eat out its like playing roulette. I am trying to make sure not to eat after a certain period in the day, and still figuring out this smaller meals throughout the day thing. I am so conditioned to be a time eater, rather than snacking as the day goes that I am having to relearn how to fuel my body. I am pleased to say that my water intake is up, along with my fruits and vegetables intake so my body is getting more good stuff and less crap. Oddly enough my body seems to like that. Also I did not get any bonus points for the beers that I had out on the town on the weekend. I need to remember that those are just empty calories. Bad Juan! Just setting myself up to have to do more work.

Well all in all not a horrible week, but some major improvement areas still exist.

Current loss for the week is -6 lbs

Goal for upcoming week is another 6+ lb loss.
Food Goal is just to continue to improve my eating habits. (No BEER Juan!!!!)

Well thanks for all the positive words and thoughts as I am going with this ongoing saga.
