For the last 5 days Jens cousin Ken and his wife Amy were visiting and Ken and I (more Ken) worked on the eaves problems we have. After the 5 days I am glad to report new wood has been installed and has also been pressure washed. I was going to post pictures but I have decided to wait. At the moment I have the start pictures, the in progress (needs painted but repaired) and as soon as I have it painted and pictures taken I will post the finished result.
Weight has fluctuated due to rich eating. Weigh in on Sunday was 245lbs but I hope to get it back off soon. Goal for end of year has now been set at 220lbs this gives me the ability to lose 2lbs a week with a couple of weeks to fix any gains or plateaus. Official date I am looking at this for is January 3rd (Sunday) To get to my Goal of 200lbs I am calling March 28th the goal date. The problems I foresee for these goals are as follows:-
- Halloween
- Thanksgiving
- Christmas
- Jens Birthday
- New Year
- My Birthday
Basically multiple dates where I may end up eating or drinking badly. Probably should add this weekend also as we have Gabe, Em and Marina coming to visit. Looks like we have Jazz on the lawn and other activities in our future *LOL*. But you know that's why I build in a cushion to my weight loss. It allows me to have the occasional bad day then get back onto my normal eating. Without these occasional days I doubt I would have got to where I am today.
It may have been quiet on my Journey of recent but it is not at an end. I would say that now that I have reset my goals that Chapter two has officially started. I have the tools to continue this journey and its time for me to use them. Don't expect this to be quiet again, this blog gives me an output for my thoughts on my weight, my cycling and anything else I need it to be. It also pushes me to continue if I get lazy. Its out here for anyone to read but its also here for me to read and realise how far I have come.
Talk to Y'all soon.
S,
You can cross out Thanksgiving and Christmas. I told you, I'm not celebrating holidays with large family gatherings where the goal is to be gorge oneself and watch football all day.
ReplyDeleteI do plan, however, to eat a whole chocolate cake on my birthday. FYI. You've been warned.
*grin* I know this, but I still think they have a higher risk of bad eating than normal . While I plan not to gorge myself (definatly not watch football) I expect unhealthy foods could be involved *LOL*
ReplyDeleteYour birthday, hmmm hell yeah *LOL* one cake for you and one for others *LOL*
