As some of you may know my son Colton passed away 36 minutes after he was born. This weekend we are having a Memorial for him with family and friends. There is a park in our neighborhood that Alison and I are donating 3 adult park benches and 1 children's bench to, along with a memorial rock. Colton would have been playing on this park for years. There is a jungle gym, ,swings, and some other little things to do in our neighborhood park. We thought what better way to celebrate his life than to have some benches in a park so when Alison and I have children we can watch them play while we sit on Coltons benches. Pictures to come in next weeks post.

I guess this week week wasnt a good week. UP 2 lbs from last week. I know there will be weeks like this or days where I am up but I went up in miles this week running, weight training went well, and food intake was normal. Nothing changed. Instead of pigging out or eating sweats I actually ate good and exercised great!



NOW this is what I feel like I ate! Which by looking at this picture just makes me want to make an Apple pie.

Well the weather is getting colder so its going to be chili time soon. Good Ole Turkey Chili!

Day 59 of 365 Days

Day 59, September 9, 2011

Well it has been a bumpy ride for 59 days... I have lost a total of 35 lbs so far. There have been great days where I stay on track and feel great at the end of the night when I lay down to go to sleep, and there have been days when I get home from work and uh oh not a good feeling. I still have those days when I sneak back into the fatboy ways of seeing a package of oreos and start off with just 2 Oreos and then it happens the hole first column of oreos are missing... I know where they went and I feel guilty for it afterwards!

So what has changed in the last 59 days? Hum well I actually do have more energy believe it or not. Workouts at the gym are no longer sluggish, I actually do not lose motivation anymore at the gym. Before I started this goal of mine I would get to the gym and start out good but lose energy fast or if it was crowded I would just say lets start tomorrow and so on. I woulnt run on the treadmill because lets face it running 5 min on that and then getting off of it because you can't do it anymore is just discouraging!! But I have stopped running inside and have taken my runs outside. Its alittle more difficult outside when you factor in the hills and heat and the hard pavement! The shins still hurt but only for the first quarter mile. I asked my Doc about it and he said its just because the extra weight its like entering a mac truck into a spring race gota get it warmed up before it can take off... I know if I can make it thru that first .25 mile then I will be good to go.
