Weight Update #3

It's been crazy around here, so it has been awhile to post an update. So here goes, this morning I weighed 182.4. Not bad, that's a little over 5 pounds since I started. My goal is to get to 160 pounds. I know this will not be easy, but it will get done. I will be pleases if I can lose 1 pound per week, at that rate it will take me 23 weeks. So let's see, that would be around somewhere around the end of July. I don't know, maybe? Time will tell if I have that kind of discipline.
I hear Blue Bell calling me right now! Ha Ha!

Weight Update #2

Sorry to say no real progress. I still weigh 185. But, I will just keep plugging along. The workouts are bad, i haven't been really sore yet at all. I think it's time to up the reps and add in some more options. The cold weather this doesn't really have me all that excited about getting out and walking, but I am going to make myself do it anyway.

New note here, I taught 2nd grade for 3 days last week. That is what I call work. Every detail must be planned out and explained, and explained, and explained again. Yesterday, I taught 8th grade social studies, it was much easier.

On the religious front, we are thinking about switching churches. We like are current church, but schedules and our family's situation have made us take look at what might be best for Janet's kids when they visit. So we are in the visiting stage with some churches now. We have visited 3 thus far. All 3 are little different. The hard part for me is to take my professional hat off and quite evaluating. Just relax and see where God leads. Any suggestions, I 'm open.
Later.

Weight Update

It's Thursday and Janet and I have been going at it for 4 days. The exercise part of getting into shape is not going too bad. I like the walking, but I can see some point in the next couple of weeks adding running into the walking routine. I know it's early in the game, but I am encouraged.

My weight as of this morning- 185. A loss of 2.8 pound, most of which might be nothing but liquid, but hey, it's weight. Janet has lost 2 pounds. My target goal is 160 pounds and a size 32 waist. Currently I am floating around a size 33 or 34, depending on the pants.

On a different note, I am substitute teaching in the 2nd grade all this week. I have a high energy class to say the least. The terminology has changed, but teaching reading and math is still the same. Today we will do a science project with ice. The goal is to see how long it takes to melt.

Well gotta go!

Once Again- A New Year

2011, and once again, I, like many others, have made various resolutions for the new year. Let's see: Lose weight and exercise, take better care of my money, spend more time with family, and so on and so on. Will I do what I set out to? I don't know, maybe. We'll see.
Now, I know I don't sound too enthusiastic, but really, I am determined. I've already started my workout and diet program.

It won't be easy, but I am taking a different track this time around.
You see, I know I can't do it alone. Janet and I are doing it together, to hold each other accountable. But even that is not enough, so I am enlisting your help. Some of you are my friends and know me well. I plan on posting my weight and exercise progress once a week here on my blog, so you can see and give me criticism, suggestions and encouragement.

Anyone got any good low fat, low carb meals, that taste good? I know that is almost impossible, taste good and low fat. Ha!

As of today. weight- 187.8 pounds. ouch! Workout- 1.8 miles walking, 50 crunches, 40 leg lifts, 60 pushups, and upper body workout with extreme rated sports cord. Doing upper body workout and pushups every other day. Walking, everyday, and crunches and leg lifts everyday.

Here is a picture of Janet and I. I 've got 25 pounds to go.
