Day 17

271. The lowest in several weeks. Today's weigh in? 271.

The was encouraging. Makes me think its beginning to work again.

I've switch flavors of protein to Mint Chocolate Chip. It tastes just like the old Kemps Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. Which was my favorite flavor of ice cream growing up. Best part is...it 'tastes' thicker than the other protein flavors.

It's nice to see results again.

Day 16

Weigh in today? 273. Still holding steady. I thought I had done decently well over the past several days where I wasn't posting. To be true to my readers, I have been busy and not focused on writing but more focused on making sure I have been eating well.

I think my overall calorie intake is down so I should see results soon. Hopefully.

Day 10

I thought I posted yesterday...I guess I forgot.

No weigh in today...I left the house and then forgot. Probable no weigh in tomorrow either. I have to be in Toccoa at my company's Home Office no later than 5:30 in the morning and won't be back home till after 8:00 tomorrow night.

Tonight's boy's night. Hopefully we'll do well today and tomorrow.

Day 8

272 this morning. I thought I would be higher because I don't follow a 'routine' on Sundays. Maybe I was just better because I know I'm working on losing weight again.

Day 7

275 this morning. I didn't feel well last night and took several trips to the bathroom. You would have thought that would lead to a little weight lost. Not the case.

I'm feeling better this morning. Oatmeal for breakfast. Sundays are the days I don't or won't do shakes.

Speaking of shakes, I'm looking forward to getting my chocolate mint protein shake mix. I can't get it locally so I had to order it from the GNC in Spencer, IA. Look up the Spencer IA GNC store and call. Troy will take care of what you need. Tell Adam suggested you call.

Day 6

Weight loss weigh in today? 273. It's an up and down kinda thing.

I haven't been feeling well today so I assume I might be seeing a low weigh in tomorrow morning. I've also been tired...I hope I'm not getting sick.

My plan for tomorrow is to hopefully be feeling better enough to take the kids to the park for a short period of time and play hard with them and burn some extra calories.

Day 5

277. That was this morning's weigh in. 277. I'm going the wrong way. I've been doing good. For the most part. I know I can do this. I've done it before, dropping from 320 to 262. I don't want to see 280 again. I need to lose.

I ordered Chocolate Mint Protein today. I can't get it locally so I ordered from GNC in Spencer, IA. I'm currently doing a cleansing program and taking vitamins. I'm going to drop more weight. I am.

Day 4

This morning's weigh in? 275. Back and forth we go. I thought I did good yesterday. Saying that I know I still have the same struggles I've always had. Snacking late at night. A battle I'll keep on fighting.

One the positive note...I have a new flavor of Maximum Protein...Chocolate Chip Mint. Best tasting protein yet.

Day 3

I woke up this morning and stepped on the scale and I weighed 174. A gain from the previous day. One thing I've learn and I hope I will continue to learn from is the importance of weighing every day.

I know if you read old posts there are times I comment on not weighing every day because of being demotivated. I know that can happened. Right now if I don't see a decrease in my weight I'm going to be disappointed. I think seeing my weight everyday will help in keeping me focused. I lost that focus since Christmas and I think it played a role in my recent weight gain.

I have a Nutritionist as my guest on Friday's talk show. I'm hoping to learn from that interview and I might begin some counseling with her...if time and my budget allow.

Day 2

I weighed in this morning at 272. Down one pound since yesterday and three pounds since last Thursday. I got home late yesterday and didn't get my Bender Bottles cleaned so I'm having a fast food breakfast, a shake for lunch and hoping to have a light dinner or maybe even a shake.

I promised my two youngest boys that I would take them to the park tonight. That should allow for a decent workout if I can make sure I'm up playing with them versus sitting and watching them play. I'll bring the Frisbee bag with us and plan to play some catch at the very least.
