12 lbs so far....

So hopefully I am on the downward slide. Two weeks ago I set a goal to be 270 when I was 282. Then last week when I hit 280 I decided 270 was way to ambitious. So instead last week I set a goal of 4 lbs which would bring me to 276 which I hit this week. My goal today was 273. Not a whole lot, but if I happen to have another week like last then that will be great. I felt so much better when I started on my old routine and was pleasantly surprised that going back to it worked so well. Though I never got in my leg routine, I am going to do it twice this week to make up for it.
My weekend was good. I really don't like to exercise on Saturdays unless it is early in the morning, which I should have done on Saturday instead of getting up and watching a little TV before starting my homework. I worked on my Management homework and continued to push it later into the day. Then my dad called and we went and bought my Christmas present, a new handgun, and then went to lunch together. It isn't everyday that I get to spend time like that with my father, so I was excited to do it. By that time working out was a figment of my imagination and I went along my day without doing any exercising. My new goal this Saturday is to get up and workout before my wife and I head off to Logan for the day. I will have homework to do the rest of the day while we are up there, so I need to make sure that I get that workout in.
Yesterday we went to my parents for dinner and we had Hawaiian Haystacks for dinner. Love em, Love THEM. It's the greatest thing for two reasons a) you can make it healthy with brown rice, fruit, vegetables etc.. which might not sound so great together, but then b) you cover it all with a chicken gravy and cheese which then makes all the flavors blend together and combine for the greatest flavor (in my opinion). I totally went overboard with my proportions, which I really should have measured out, and was most of the night. It was really good, but I should have measured it out. Which goes to show that even though I am trying to make this life changed it isn't something that happens over night. It is something that I have to continually work on and remember to make a priority. It's like they say, "Old habits die hard," and that is exactly the case in my situation. Although I am doing a lot better with the exercising, the eating is what kills everything if it isn't reigned in. It's a good thing that today was a new day!!
