Holiday done yet?
Due to some of my bad luck I have had to "take the next step" I have moved on today and rather than rotting in depression I took at look at the finances and figured what we could cut, where we could save, and how much we got now. We managed to save about 1/3 of the money we need for the car and we will continue to press on through the holiday ( Read more... ) -
sigh...
So today... I thought I better exercise because I am going to add weight instead of taking it off and that would make me more depressed than I already am. SO I logged onto Netflix and worked out with a kickboxing video. It was ok... It burned like 450 calories and I was sweating and so forth. All I could think about was how great the pool was and ( Read more... ) -
Me and Family....
So after a nice refreshing mini vacation we had to get back into our regular workout. Although the hikes over sand dunes were not lacking in the exercise department I didn't want to get out of the habit of swimming. We haven't swam in like 5 days and I think we both felt it. Although we both were able to meet our goals. For me it was to try to keep ( Read more... ) -
I did it!!
So the last 3 days I been worried about this morning and wondering if my plateau had broken. I been working hard to be perfect on my calories and workout.

I had to get on 3 times to be sure so I didn't question ( Read more... ) -
Adventures!
So Arial and I went on a hike on this local intercity "sanctuary" of sorts. It was close and I just wanted a quick one hour walk to even up my calories burned for the week. Well... we were enjoying our walk through slightly tended wooded area and eventually came to where a tree had fallen. Well since we are both the adventurous type we climbed over ( Read more... ) -
Plateau struggles
So I been trying to stay positive for the past 3 weeks as I been struggling with my plateau. I am at 200lbs and I have been holding steady now for 3 weeks!! No inches lost, no changes. I changed my cardio to swimming about 2 weeks ago, which I thought would be better than what I was doing. Simply because it was something I could enjoy more than DDR ( Read more... ) -
Swimming & Weight Loss
So today was another swimming day. James joined us today since school is closed. He will be joining us on a regular basis once school is completely done. Arial was giving us both some pointers about how to move better in the water. Since she was a competitive swimmer she really knows her stuff. She is mostly helping James but I listen in for a few ( Read more... ) -
Public Humiliation
So I have posted all my newest motivation stuff and I been really reflecting on how I ended up in this position. When did I stop being active and why? I realized that all my life I have been nervous about being winded, sweating, or pushing my body in any way in public. I been thinking about this for about a month. Now that I am swimming at a pool I ( Read more... )
