Getting back on track

Sorry I havn't written for a while, to be honest, I fell off the horse a bit. A 2 week visit to Texas though me off a little. Starting again with a friend this time. This is not easy to do by yourself, I recomend doing it with a partner. When I was keeping a daily log, it worked SO much better. Lost 26 lbs that first month, 1 pound the 2nd. After the things I ate, I thought I was going to gain weight, was please to see I had lost a pound. Since Texas I have lost a few more. Down to 301, soooo close to the 200's. Its been years since there was a 2 in front of my weight. Having a buddy, to hold me a little accountable, excited to get going again. I don't think I will continue in the contest, just plug along, and stop beating myself up. In a couple of weeks, there is a big hike up near Loan Pine, excited about that. Havn't hiked uphill in a while though, sort of nurvious. Just do my best. Today Keith and I did upper body, was his 1st workout. He is very motivated, which is good. He is behind on weight, but we can make it work. Fell back into line, didn't lose much strength wise. OK talk to you soon....

Texas 2013

Wow, havnt had a new blog in some time, sorry about that. My good friend Alison let me know that she is reading this. Made me feel good to continue on. If it helps one person, its worth it. Plus it helps me keep my self accountable.

I think the last thing I listed was a poor weight loss week. I have not weighed in since then. Not to get off the program, just have been in or on my way to Texas. I'm not entirly sure how I am doing since then. My biggest struggle is following the food program. Eating 6 times a day with everything I have going has been tough. I have tried to make the most of it. A lot of the time, honestly, I just eat less. My obsession to pig out is gone. If I do eat too much, I don't feel good. And coming from someone who NEVER felt good, I don't want to go back. Today for example. I was planning on going for a hike in the Wichita Mts, there was a bad story with lightning, so I decided to go to a casino instead. They had a very limited food menu, and I was starving. I know still no excuse (Go somewhere else right?). So I at a junky Philly Cheese steak sandwhich and fries. Now, I feel like junk, no energy, bathroom every 1/2 an hour. If you are able to think of food as fuel, and not a reward, or a way to deal with emotion, or a way to celibrate, ect...You are on the right track....

Excercise since I left has been good. I got up the day I was going to leave at 6 am, and went straight to the gym. I know a good workout wakes me up, and gives me energy. Good for a long drive. I will write more about my Texas experience in my other blog http://waynesfamilytree.blogspot.com/ ... Please feel free to read... Made it to Texas the next night. Woke up in the morning, and used my app Gym Finder. Found a gym that only charged 25 for the week. Great deals here in Texas, everything is a little cheaper, including gas. The further east I went the cheaper it got. Anyhow, I have been following the program with my workouts at the new gym. Today I even went for an extra cardio, wanted to watch the basketball game. So instead of going to a sportsbar, or sitting on the couch, I walked on the treadmill. Worked really well. Uggg, still feel like junk, from that lousy lunch...Uggg

Heres another tip, most people at the gym are to themselves. I have found it helpful to strike up conversation, especially when you are doing cardio, helps to pass time, and make new friendships. The other thing I do, is watch what other people are doing, and try to incorporate it. I found a great way to work my back today by asking. People seem to be very helpful if you show interest.

Not the best week

Ok, so the weigh in was today, and as I sort of expected, no weight loss, still at 310. This is going to be a hard barrier for me to breakthrough. Many times in the past I have been successful at diets for a short time, but went back to my old ways, usually after something bad happened. Which I would use as an excuse if someone asked me. Well not this time, I am going to press on. I know what I did this week. My mind was lost for a while. Found it again 2 days ago, real early in the morning. Those of you that know what I am going through, will probably know what I mean. I have a lot more going on in my life right now than just weight loss. If you are curious, ask me, I will share. One night this week, mind was racing especially fast. I found comfort in food that night. Felt guilty imediatly. One of the things that is going to help me combat this is the new app i have one my phone I spoke of yesterday. I am going to be honest with the app lol. It helps. One of the things that is a little lacking in the Body for Life book, is the vagueness about food. I think just starting out, its explanation is good. But once you are in for a little bit, more info would be nice. Maybe a daily calorie mark to shoot for. Anyhow, using the app to regulate that from here on out. Maybe a body for life food app????HUH HUH BFL???? Another thing that honestly set me back was Vegas, screwed up my hours, and taught me to eat out again. I had success last week eating out, I think I payed for it this week. So, once again, back to the basics. To the store, and prep my meals. When you go to restraunts, too many temptations, also you never really know whats in there. I think eating out is a good thing, just a once or twice a week thing. Thats how I am going to approach it anyway. One more excuse!!! Here it is, only had 6 days, weighed in late last week...OK im done, now back to work....

Today got most of a lower body workout done. Didn't complete the ab workout at the gym, plan on hitting that when I get home tonight. I remember doing an exercise when I was playing college baseball. Our coach hired an arrobics instructor to come in and work us out. From what I hear we looked so funny doing arrobics. We were all so new and uncordinated. Someone watching from the sidelines mentioned that....I remember one thing she had us do with our abs, and I remember it killed!!!! Try it if you don't believe me...Lay flat on your back, but your hands under your butt. Keep your legs straight, and lift them up and down, and HOLD IT....10 MORE SECONDS....I remember everyone screaming in pain. So I thought I would try that lol. Wish me luck. Thanks arobics instructor from Reedley....

Will be going Texas this wed, driving. Visiting family. This should be ok. My aunt and I are going to go food shopping, are we are going to cook together. I am actually looking forward to that. Going to find a gym and do a week membership deal, if I can't find a 24 hour fitness. I don't think there are any in Wichita Falls. I will also be going to the Dallas area, I bet there is one there...Ok, tomorrow is cardio, think I will try swimming. Havnt tried that one yet....Let you know how it goes....

Panarama Hike for newbies

Good day today...Got some needed deep sleep last night. Woke up feeling well. Alan is starting a hike for begginers at Panarama near BC. It will be perfect for newbies, if, Alan will slow the pace. Had to jog to keep up today. Its good for me where i'm at, but with new people may be disheartening. I remember how I felt, it wasn't that long ago. Today's hike was 2.3 miles took 53 minutes ave speed 2.6 mph callories burned 550 callories. Total ascent 698 feet. The app that you can use to figure all this is called Endomondo. It's free for the I Phone, I highly suggest anyone to get it....Also using Lose It!...Another free app that is very helpful. If you are like me, I lose track of what I am eating, doing, ect.... This holds you accountable for the food you eat, i'm going to try and be honest, put everything I eat. Even the bad stuff. You can even scan bar codes with it, it will figure all the info. Leaving for Texas this Wed. This will be another test. Going to try and get a part time membership when I get there. Also have my aunt Jeannie on board with the diet. We are going to go food shopping when I get there, and do some cooking together. Looking forward to that....Tomorrow is Lower body day...

Keepin On!!!

Sorry I havn't updated the last couple of days. Still not sure if anyone is reading, either way, its ok....Nothing major to update on since Mill Creek hike. Friday I started an upper body workout. Had to get called short, had a court date to take care of some tickets. Didn't complete the upper bod that day. Yesterday, got to the gym ealier than I normally would have. Did the BFL 20 minute cardio. Did it on the stair climber, not that kicks your butt. Doesn't allow you to recover, hard to get back to a 6. Regardless, good workout. Then I finished Fridays upper body. Friend turned me on to a really cool app for my I Phone. For so long I turned down getting one, but I have to admit with all the stuff I have going its very nice to have. The app is called "Lose it!".... I think it is what I needed. You log all you excercise, and all you cardio...Will help me to keep track of my food. Have you ever tried logging your daily food? Try it one day, even if you don'd diet, will surprise yourself. I think it will make it a little easier to say no to the ....,,,,,....You know. Trick is honesty, I think we all have the tendancy to look the other way sometimes. Going to try and be honest with my Lose It! lol....Tomorrow is a hike day. This one is aimed at the begginners, its Alans idea. Lots of people have shown interest in what they see, but, lets see who actually comes out. Rooting for people, remember what its like to get started, hard hard hard!!!! Reminds me to update face book...See you tomorrow...

Mill Creak Hike

What a day today. If you noticed by yesterday's rablings, I was out of whach. Was the first day since I have been sober I didn't go to sleep with the feeling I had a productive day. Today, God once again showed me the way, where I needed to be. Feeling of Serenity is back!!!! Ran into an OLD friend, who looks like a whole new person. Very good to see, gave me the charge I needed.

So today my new friend Alan and I planned a hike to Mill Creak near Democrat fire station. Was a great hike, was just over 5 miles, took 2.5 hours, climbed 1000 elevation, burned around 1500 calories. It was a steady climb, with spots where you can catch you breath. I'm loving body for life, and its working. I think the hiking is giving me a little extra edge. I remember ready in the BFL book about getting out of the gym and our in nature. It's good for the body and soul....Gym life is great, but good to mix up the munogomy...Trying to mix different cardio workouts each time. In the 20 minute workouts it all about reaching intecity levels each minute. It can be done with any sort of excersise. I suggest something you like. Not a running fan here, so I don't run. Love hiking, so I hike. I think its that simple.

Yesterday I didn't get anything accomplished. After the charge I got, as I spoke of earlier. I hit the gym on my way home, and got the lower body done!!! Blew through it, felt really good. Legs are getting ALOT stronger...Tomorrow is upper body, ready for it now!!! lol...

Wrong side of the bed!!!

Well today was one of those days!!! I think I had one like this before. Held in some resentments from last night, resentments are not good, one of the things I am trying to clean up in my life. Whenever I go to sleep with resentments, I have nightmares. So yeah, had nightmares last night, woke up and didn't want to get up. Made me remember the way it was. Tell myself in my head, this will pass. One of the new tools I have learned, just simply, this emotion will pass. Thinking about stopping facebook altogether. It where these resentments are coming from. There has to be 1000's of different diets that work. Some work for some, some work for others. Some want to lose fast, some slow, some build mussle, on and on and on. Bit of advice I guess, I will use it, if you see that someone is happier than they have ever been, diet working great, everything on track, don't tell them "this is what you need to do". Or question what they are doing, over a stinking potato, come on!!! OK, vented need to let that go. Breath Wayne, lol. So didn't get much accomplished today workout wise. Was supposed to be a lower body day. Late start, committed to a meeting I went to, then play offs for my pool team. Excuses I know, but I did make this choice. The last few nights I have been hitting the gym real late at night. Today I decided to pass on the late night lower workout. Want to try and get a little more sleep, plus have a hike planned tomorrow. Supposed to be a 4 miler, more of a begginers hike. So, plan is, do the hike in the morning, come back and do the lower body workout in the afternoon. No plans other than that tomorrow. New plan on stopping resentments. Because i'm suddenly getting all these tips, getting them from lots of people. Just simply say, thats a great idea, will have to incorperate that. Keeps them feeling good, removes a uneeded argument, and saves me from resentments and nightmares... Even though its crazy to tell someone that their diet isn't right, when they are getting results (ug see, cant stop doing that), its me who creats the problem, when there is a simple solution to avoid it. OH, not done venting just yet. SO, the first time I went to the gym to get my starting weight on body fat content. To test your body fat they do a pinch test, come to find out this test is not very accurate, 8% up or down error factor. They guy that gave my original was new, I could tell he was new, but I went with it. He put me at 30% body fat. Not good, should have been worse. Today I go in, after this day of resentments expecting to hear this awesome news, she test's and gets 29.5%... Thats with 26 pounds of weight loss, and anyone who has seen me bofore and now, no, not right, no doubt. The lady that gave it today was an experienced trainer. So my original body fat, I will never know for sure...Very big bummer, hoping that doesnt have an effect on the contest. She thinks, with the weight loss compared to everything, I probably started at about 35%, although she had lots of negativity as well. You only do this and only do that, no way you lost weight, ugggg. Hard for me not to get a disapointed look. She just had no idea how hard I have worked so far, and through this judgement on me, knowing nothing about me, just knowing the fitness for life regiment. Well, not sure if its a good emotion or not, gona have to talk to someone about that, but it makes me want to show her...Yeah thats probably not a good emotion...Just gona brush today off, get back on track tomorrow. Fact, the diet is working, im losing weight rapidy, I feel MUCH better, my stamina is WAY up, my lifting is getting much stronger especially lower body, I can see musles in my arms, my arm have never looked like this, and its only been a month. SO gona keep on keepin on, love the people who are possitive towards this, and keep on truckin man. Love the food, love cooking, its working.... Sorry for the ramble, think I needed it. Will check back in tomorrow...

Weigh in After Vegas

Ok, was nervous about today's weigh in, my eating was not perfect. I was not perfect in Vegas, walked ALOT, but eating was all over the place. After my meeting today, I was to meet up with an old friend from high school, Amy. Very very good to see her. So I was limited on time, so I swung by the gym, just to weigh in. 9 pounds!!!! FEW!!!! Man does that feel good. I was, am, pumped!!!! Going back tonight, get in my cardio for the day, and have my fat content measured again. Its almost been a month since I started body for life, and workouts at 24 hour fitness. When I first had it checked I was in the very unhealthy range, lets see where I end up tonight. I will be back with you soon...Thursday is going to be a hike day with Allen, not sure where we are going, but all are welcome, no matter how new you are!!!! Message me on facebook or 661 205 6630 is my cell number....

Vegas, not so bad this time...

If anyone is following this, sorry for the absence, it was the dreaded Las Vegas weekend. If you are following anything you would like to add would be great...OK, heres how the weekend went with respects to body for life. Food intake was below average. I didn't eat even close to enough, and when I ate it wasn't always healthy choices. No excuses here, I did it. The worse day food wise I had was on Saturday. My friend Doug and I went to the Rio buffet, Dougs choice....I had 2 plates of food. Stayed away from deep fried stuff, had crab, duck, shrimp, and some bad stuff, but nothing horrible. Here's where I went off, it was the deserts. The cheesecake was the best thing I have ever had. All in all, made about seven trips. One of the new things I have aquired since I have given up alchohal is sweets. Oh well, chalk it up to a cheat day. I did however walk, and did I walk. I have an app on my phone that tracks what I do. One walk was from the Riviera to Freemont. Was 5.5 miles, took over an hour. Another walk was along the strip, my phone ran out of charge so I didn't get exact millage. I am betting around the same 5-6 miles. Was from Maldalay Bay to Harris, but it wasnt a straight shot, lots of exploring in there. I had planned on visiting a 24 hour fitness when I was there to get my scheduled lower body work out, didn't happen, again, no excuse. Say today 4-29 I did both upper and lower body workouts at the gym. Tomorrow back on track with cardio. I am getting higher and higher with the weight of the workouts. Makes me want more. The best part is sets 4 and 5. 4 being the higher weight, doing 6 reps, then with no rest set 5, which is a lower weight 12 reps. This always gets me to a 10. Starting doing my with my abs. The BFL is vague on the ab workouts, was watching someones technique at the gym today with the sit up machine, tried it, worked very well. Got a great burn. Today was a scheduled weigh in, decided to do it tomorrow, didn't make it to the gym till midnight. Want to weigh in around the same time I have been so far. Ok, there was my excuse, not the truth, im nervious about it...There!!! Think I will get my fat % tested tomorrow as well. Its been almost a month, think its time, see where I am at. That should actually tell me more. I am certain I am building musle, so more curios about the fat loss. Will be back with the results tomorrow....

OK, today was a good day. Did my first hike with the "hiking club". It was one of their "PT" hikes. Met up across from Calm, and hiked to the top of handglider hill. Went 4.2 miles, took 1.5 hours. Never had to stop and rest, the Mt Pino's hike I had to stop alot. Probably 2 things, the elevation, and i'm getting in better shape. Really noticing it on the lower body days, weight is going up. Lunges are getting easier. Man lunges, if you ever want a awesome work out, where ever you are, try doing 24 lunges, with out cheating!!! Then try the calve lifts. Do 10 on each step, and try 10 steps...I have to stop at different intervals and walk for a minute it burns so bad (good)...This weekend will be another test. Going to vegas to watch a pool tourney. Hears the plan. Tomorrow is lower body, so one of two things. If the hotel has a gym, gona use that. If not, look for a 24 hour fitness, have a nationwide membership. Saturday is a cardio day, gona walk the strip, take a long walk, and explore. I have always wanted to do that anyway. Beer was always on top of the list, not anymore!!! Mental Obsesion, GONE, still have an ocational craving, use my tools to get past those. The cravings are getting less and less, and shorter, think I will keep doing what I am doing. Seems to be working, just a tiny bit better, than the old me...That was about as sarcastic as you can be!!!! 8>)

Upper body today, had a great workout. Starting to notice some definition in my arms. I don't recall ever seeing that my whole life. Even when I was an athlete. Starting to need to go up in weight. One in particular is my sholders. Need to find a new back and bicep excersise. Seems as I get stronger I need to find new challenges to reach that 10. Food is still a struggle, a struggle to eat enough. I havn't had anything off the plan since the last weigh in. Started drinking more water, and iced tea instead of Diet Pepsi. A friend at the gym recomends green tea, unsweat. I like green tea, think I will give it a shot. I would go nuts drinking water only, i'm thinking green tea is the next best thing. Gona have a challenge this weekend. Going to vegas friday sat sunday. I have my 24 hour app downloaded to find a gym, also think there is a gym at the hotel. For cardio, gona walk the strip. Watch all the drunks fall down, don't miss that life at all...Period!!!! Going to come home, with money in my pocket, feeling good!!! Will try and update tomorrow, then next update will come sunday...

Cardio Stair Climber

Today didn't start off the greatest. Woke up tired, went back to sleep, missed my daily noon meeting. Felt a little out of whack. Got myself up and going around 2. Made my way to Bakersfield College, for the first time since the 90's got myself enrolled in classes. 2 classes this summer, 4 in the fall, then 1 or 2 in the spring and I will have my associates degree. Very excited and nervious at the same time. Went to visit dad at memorial, he seemed to be doing well today. Visited with him for a while, made a stag meeting, went to mexican restraunt. Hard to order healthy at a mexican food place. Subbed the beans and rice for salad, used very little dressing on the salad, salsa is a great substitute for dressing. Had some steak with onions and peppers. The stake came in some sort of gravy, didn't know that when I ordered. Hopefully it wasn't too loaded. Did not do well on my eat every 2 hours deal, this is going to be hard. Even with my phone set telling me when to eat, gona have to be a work in progress. Got 2 meals in all day. One thing I did succeed on is no diet soda, drank lots of water and unsweat iced tea today. OK, so finally get to the gym at 10. Met a guy I used to work with, he didn't even regonize me, not because of the weight loss, because of the look on my face. That felt good, was good to see you Kenny... Cardio today, decided to try the workout on the stair climber. Kicked my butt, was a very good one!!! Let me write this here so I dont forget 3=5 intesity 4=6 5=7 6=8 7=9 8=10...That was perfect where I am at right now....Tomorrow is upper body, looking forward to it... GO WARRIORS...

Getting a real late start today. Seems like one time a week I need a little extra sleep to get caught up. Feel much better after. Going to BC to get prepared to sign up for classes, then to the gym. Cardio day, gona try the stair climber for the first time on this program. Need to get going...

OK, figured out how to add pictures, but not in order lol The top is taken on 4-21-13, next one down is at the top of Mt Pinos, then next one is today 5-1-13, and the bottom is my starting picture 4-1-13

Am not happy with face book, gona keep track of this diet here. The format may change up, bare with me...

Body for Life, time to get started!!! Got a lot to do this week...

  Wayne Moore Day 2 was good. Cardio day, did the sitting bike. I have sat on the bike at the gym many times before. Today was very different. Its nice to have a set regimend to follow. I looked at the guy to my left, he was peddling away with no real purpose. This program gives you different levels of intensity to reach, each minute it changes. Start slow, up to a 9, back down. up and down, until minute 19 you reach for a 10. Felt like I got more done in 20 minutes than I would have before, aimlessly walking around the gym with no goal. Havn't pushed that hard since my fire fighting days. Wably legged when I stepped off. Was very tired, but a great feeling inside. look forward to keep going....Thanks again Brian Parks...

  Wayne Moore done with the cardio, did the alyptical again. Liking the alyptical, no too jarring on my body, which running does right now with the big belly, doesnt hurt my butt, the bike, and I can easily reach the directed intensity levels each minute instructed...

  Wayne Moore Ok week 1 lost 5 pounds. Twice the weight of what I set my goal. Keep up this pace, be there in 6 months, not 1 year. End goal is the lost 10 lbs a month for 12 months, hike into French Lake (2 day hike), and catch the world record golden trout. Today felt out of whack mentally from the moment I woke up, but don't we all have those days? I know what I need to do to get back on track, so I could do that, or go back to my old ways. I choose get back on track!!!! Sorry again Brian Parks for the things I said today, i'm not sure why i'm still holding on to stuff, its in the past now, nothing I can do about the past, nothing I can do about tommorow, thats the way I have been living life lately, and today I lost that somehow.Still have a lot of work to do. Did lower body today, got my sweat on. Tomorrow is cardio, back to the reutine.

  Wayne Moore Much better day today. Was a cardio day. Tried the stair master this time. Was an intense 20 minutes. Having trouble keeping up with the meals. In order to eat 6 meals a day, you really have to plan it out....Maybe get a better phone with a good alarm system, time to eat....

  Wayne Moore Seth, in the program you get one cheat day, and it wants you to cheat. 1 It gives you something to look forward to 2. It keeps helps keep your body from going into starvation mode... 3. when you feel like crap after eating it, it reminds you the ole way. Body for life realizes that life happens, you may have a wedding, a party, have two teeth pulled at cant eat anything sollid, in my case...so i stitched sunday to thursday this week...

  Seth Bonilla I'm proud of you brother. Your health is so important to your quality of life. Remain strong and determined in your quest for healthy living. I have always said to others who influence my life, that i want to be living life well because there are so many who love me and depend on me for a variety of things, and we should not be careless with life nor our health. Remember, once you have reconditioned the brain for about 30days your task will become much easier, minimize any stress and negitivity that comes your way to reduce the chances of relapse, my best for your success....

  Wayne Moore Saturday, didn't do a body for life style workout, did however hike 8 miles, I think I will be ok. Purchased a pedometer at Wal Mart, the store had it labeled incorrectly, so I got it for $5.00. Its pretty close to accurate, bad thing is it resets itself easy if you hit the wrong button. Got approximatly 16,000 steps in on Saturdays hike. Did okish on the diet, had a couple of cheats. Had the campfire, really wanted to bbque something, so I had 3 suasages, and some baked chips, guess thats not too bad. It's hard to stay on track when your out of town. Ate at a couple of restraunts, was able to order off the menu's in a healthy way...Ready to get back to normal...

  Wayne Moore Very good day today!!! Weigh in day, was nurvious about it, had a good week, just wasn't sure. Lost 8 pounds!!!! Very very happy with that, excited to continue on...My old shirts are starting to fit, and man, I just started. Had upper body today, been doing some experimenting off of Brian Parks reutine and have found a couple of excersizes of my own I really like. Never been a big weight guy, I really like the fact I have a scheduled agenda, I do it, and thats that. No more no less, really works for a guy like me, who has one of those running, doubting, beat myself up minds. Also like using the hikes instead of the gym cardio, like the book says good to be our in nature...

  Wayne Moore Now today, woke up this morning all out of wack, and didn't know what the problem was. Started my day as usual, went to mom and dads, prepped my daily meals. Went to a meeting, but didn't want to be there. Left early and drove right by the gym. It was sleep, I was tired!!! I know it sounds weird, but a guy in my situation isn't used to being tired in that way. So it wasn't something I recognized emediatly. I finally made it home, my head hit the pillow and I was out. Slept sound for 5 hours, is what I needed. Woke up feeling a ton better, went to pool league in a good mood, that ready to take on the world mood I have been in lately. I just need to be mindful, not panick when I get that way, get some rest. After pool hit the gym for a late workout. Did lower body, best lower body I have had so far. I found a great way to work my calves. I remembered as a kid in elementry withSabine Mixon...She used to have us going up the stair, 10 lifts per step. I remember then how much it hurt. So I tried it again, and oh man did I get a burn. I hit my 10 on step 6.... I think next time I will try and incorperate the 12 10 8 6 12 12 with the steps. There are 12 steps, perfect for this. This time I did 10 each step, that definatly worked too. Tomorrow is cardio, gona try the real stair climber, should kick my butt. Then Saturday doing a 5 mile hike with Hiking Man up near Mt Pino's, near Frazier Mt. Anyone want to go, let me know....

  Ronald Moore OK yesterday, Saturday cardio day. Decided to go for a hike instead of the 20 minute daily cardio. Went with my friend Alan and Tom to Mt Pinos near Frazier Mountain. It was the most intense hike I have been on in years, since the days of fighting fire. We made it to the top of two peaks. At the top of the 2nd there was a great rock pile. Over the years everyone that made it to the top puts a rock in with the rest, there is also a sign in sheet where you can wright your name and your thoughts. There we some prayer flags from Nepaul strung from the top. The view was incredible. Take a look at my pictures...Got emotional for a moment, thought about where I was 3 months ago, phylically, emotionaly, and spiratually. God was with me at that moment...The hike was 7.5 miles, climbed 3000 feet in elevation, took 6.5 hours with short breaks, and a long break at the top. Can tell you that thanks to my new phone...Today, going to try at eat better, get some rest, very tired, and get back to it on Monday...Monday is weigh in DAY!!!

  Wayne Moore Sunday was an off day, didn't do much yesterday. Today is weigh in day. Lost 3 pounds this week. Not going to lie was hoping for a 5 or 6. All the excuses ran through my head, your retaining water, you gained musle, scale must be off, take keys out of pocket, weighed in too late in the day, every exuse in the book. Excuses are reasons to quit, so im not gona use them. Did all my workouts and more this week. I need to get more focused on my eating and drinking. 1st thing, the body for life book says to drink lots of water, I havn't...Gona work on that. 2nd eat 6 meals aday, one lean protein, one healthy carb, and one vegie in each meal. For one thing, I am not eating on schedule, which makes me hungry, and I grab something I shouldn't. Today for example, got a late start, im not a morning person, ate breakfast around 11. Went about my day didn't get to eat my 2nd meal till 4 pm. That should have been my 3rd meal. And my cheat day has turned into (in my head) ill have a little cheat everyday, not stick to the plan and have one day a week. So, here is what I am going to do. I am going to make use of this new I phone. It has a great schedule reminder deal. Gona try and hit my meals close to the same time every day, and I am going to use my phone to remind me. Very easy to loose track of time when you have a lot of stuff going on. Like the book says, you will not be perfect, but I can improve, and I think that showed in the scale this week. Another thing the book suggests is to make goals. So, I am making a weekly goal. Next week lose 6 lbs. Going to vegas friday-sun, when I put that six, I was tempted to put 5, because of my trip. Look, another excuse, not going to happen. The hotel we are staying at has a gym and pool. Plus, how bout a long walk on the strip, that acctually sounds like fun!!! Looking forward to a clear headed trip to vegas, not coming home broke and feeling like $&!#...Anyhow, lost 3 pounds, still good. Got back into reutine, today was lower body, got a good workout in. Legs were screeming when done. Found a really good way to work calves, and if you want a good hamstring workout and don't belong to a gym, try lunges, those really hurt when you weigth 319 lbs. One of the lady' at checkin has been following my progress. She talked to her boss, they are thinking of making me a rep for a 24 fitness success story. More reason to keep going!!!
