Struggling

Weight: 252 (+1, total change 0 lbs.)

I don't have much to say or report this week. I'm struggling. Poor food choices and not enough exercise. I'm doing okay at work, but eating too much for dinner and snacking way too much at home. I think I need some help or some company to help motivate me. MF - I'm in for your challenge. I'll touch base with you tomorrow about it.

I got in some exercise on Sunday, and went for a good run on Monday. Tuesday I took off, and had planned to go to the gym today, but just never made it there. Tomorrow I am scheduled for a 5PM run, and I'm looking forward to that.

I think the reason I am struggling at home is because of the snacks we got for the Super Bowl. There's too much here that we don't normally have on hand, and I'm struggling to restrain myself. Tomorrow is our trash pickup, and I think I may try to talk Kathy into cutting our losses and doing away with some of the food we have. I need to get it out of here. If I was wealthy I think I'd hire a personal shopper to get my groceries and someone to prepare my food. I need some discipline.

The other thing is that I realize I'm really going to struggle trying to do this on my own. Yes, the blog is making me accountable for providing status updates, but there are no consequences for me if I don't lose any weight. A few years ago I lost a good chunk of weight with some friends that I know are reading this blog. If either of you want to meet on occasion to check in I'd be up for it. Send me a note if you do.

Warrior training: my endurance is improving, but I need to start the weight training. I've gotten in touch with the trainer I mentioned, but nothing has been set up yet.

Next post Sunday.
