    Not been good lately

    Even when I feel so good to start, it can be so tough to make the changes on a daily basis...I have had a couple good days, and then a bunch of bad ones...no workouts, too much food...not REALLY bad, not tubs of ice cream (though I did eat most of a bag of Pirate' Booty on day), but enough so that I know I'm not only not making progress, but backtracking...especially with no workouts as well. :( I make myself mad sometimes, yet I continue to make choices that disappoint myself later...

    Motivation can be tough

    When you've got food around the house (in abundance), and a wife who doesn't seem to recognize when you are getting yourself emotionally ramped back up for weight loss, it is sooooo easy to eat all of those delicious treats she bought at the store. Pirate's Booty, Mountain Dew, Klondike Oreo bars, Klondike Reese's bars...!! AND I skipped working out yesterday (and the day before). Well, ok, I didn't HAVE TO work out yesterday...so I guess I didn't really skip it, even it I just wanted to do cardio, though I DID bail on the fuller workout I had signed up for, my basement isn't ready for floor stretching yet, still have to clean up some more......and I need to find a way to get the treadmills set up for watching videos on Netflix, or training/WBT's. If I can distract myself, I am better at ignoring the pain and unpleasantness of the workout....they're not fun yet, they're hard, sweaty, and hurt. But I have to keep going....and I've already 'lost' like 8 pounds in three days, even if it was just water weight from vacation. Don't stop now, gotta keep it up! Got my water/fruit punch ready for the day, now to make sure I work out tonight!

    Back in the saddle again!

    Ugh....disgusted with myself. Admittedly, a motorcycle accident is reason enough for anyone to lose their focus, but for TWO YEARS? Ok, I accept the responsibility for where my body is, and where -I- want to take it. Whining about poor widdle Clay falling off his bike is no longer an excuse I am willing to accept from myself. Walking is EASY. 30 minutes a day is EASY. Saving LOTS of money on not eating at Wendy's every day is EASY. Getting back on my bikes, getting back to snorkeling, and getting back into those skinny jeans and clothes will be a treat, even if it will be another year on the making. I want to cry when I look at my shape, and I have nobody but myself to blame. But blaming myself (while accurate) only makes me want to go and have a cookie, and feel better with a bit of sugar, even though I know it will only set me back. NO. MORE.
