This is for our children...their children...and their children. This is for our family...this is for us!
Originally, this blog was my wife's, but I stole it since she stopped using it. So, now it will be a place for both of us to write and journal our experiences during this journey of getting healthy. For the both of us its more than just losing weight. Yes, we both want to be thin, but more importantly we want to be around for eachother and our children for a long, long time. We want t show our children that it just isn't okay to treat what He gave us so poorly...
We have stopped making excuses and are ready to face the challenge...are you?

Computer Problems, Weight Problems...

Re-cap of Fathers day. It was so wonderful to spend the day with all my girls. Jess made brunch for me and her family. This is about where watching my calories fell off the wagon. I had a dream on Saturday about waffles with peanut butter- so when Jess made waffles, I put peanut better on half of mine. We did have low cal syrup, so that helped, um, a little. I also found 2 pieces of real bacon and 4 chicken sausages. It was freaking delicious. I was in trouble.
After the fam left we headed down to Pride to see the booths, people and to support the queer folks! We saw so many fabulous people and even got to see some folks from our church.  After just about an hour we headed out to my BFF Lauren's house to see Teg and celebrate her birthday. We missed her regular birthday party because it was during the Epilepsy Walk.  We did have to stop to get her gift- we found her a great pool at BiMart. Then it was off to Lauren's!
She has done a ton of stuff to her backyard; the kids played and played; jumped on the trampoline and ATE! I went with a chicken breast (good decision) but I probably ate about 5 lbs of watermelon and then came desert. She had an ice cream bar- vanilla ice cream with a bar of toppings: peanut butter m&ms and sour patch kids were there. And eventually they were in my stomach. A lot of them. I just couldn't stop.  I couldn't or rather I didn't. I thought about stopping a bunch of times, and yet I didn't.
I am thinking that maybe being as strict as I was backfired on me yesterday; since as soon as it was near me I went for it. Or it was a moment or several moments of weakness. Nevertheless, I knew when I woke up this morning that I would have to reset my mind and go in for a sugar detox.
Today was a blah day. I couldn't get to the gym in the morning due to a ton of meetings and had to go after work. I missed my leg workout on Saturday so, legs it was. I did decide to break my cardio up. I ran for 30 minutes before and walked at an 8% incline at 4.0 speed.  I felt so incredible tired. I think it was probably because I didn't eat anything before hand- I went in 3 hours after eating my food. Next time = food an hour beforehand.
We will see if this helps with my weight loss. I am yo-yoing between 180 and 182. Time to get this in check!
