Another Thanksgiving of Binge Eating

So I ate a bunch of food over the Thanksgiving weekend.  No restraint.  None whatsoever. 

If it's got corn syrup or gravy on it, then I'm eating that.  Probably 2 or 3 servings of whatever "that" is...

Anywhoo...

Now I decide to weigh myself after a binge eating free fall.  Bad idea, I know this, but I do it anyway.

The damage: 288.2 pounds!

So posting again and thinking I need to workout.

Will this actually happen?

I hope so, because I will be attending a wedding in May.  So this is the push, to slim down for a wedding spectacle.

Flexibility is so elusive

I'm not flexible.

I believe this is causing problems for me.  Phantom injuries that occur over night, no physical activity involved.  I'm just so tightly wound my sinews snap in the night as I re-position.

I really should stretch more often...it's just hard to get into stretching.  I fear that I'll look ridiculous.

And if people ask me what I'm doing at the gym I'll have nothing to say other than, "oh, I'm really getting into stretching.  I need to cut down on my sleeping injuries." 

Which will gather a response something like this...

My only course of action will be to scream, "DON'T JUDGE ME!" and run out of the gym.

I still won't be flexible.  Sleeping injuries continue to occur.  Vicious cycle.

Getting Fat Again...

Upon completion of my last weight loss challenge I reached 288 pounds from 308, which was great.

The problem is I've already ballooned back up to 297 after taking a break from the competition...

The roller coast of weight loss success/failure continues...

Time to get back into the healthy lifestyle of eating healthy and exercise.

Week 7: Weigh In

So I missed a bunch of weeks, but I'm happy to announce to nobody in particular (nobody reads this) that success has been occurring.

Weight - 290 pounds
Total Lost - 18.6 pounds

There's one more week of this work competition.  If success continues I'll break into the 280's!  Time to finish strong.

Week 3: Weigh In

Another week has come and gone...

More mild success to the tune of:

Weight - 300.2 
Body Fat - 36.8%

Trying to be patient with the results, but they are 2 pound baby steps every week.  The truth is I can work out more and with more intensity.

Free Ice Cream

I was just offered free ice cream and I instantly accepted.

I know ice cream won't help me lose weight.

I know that the competition penalizes the consumption of sweets.

Is the momentary sugar rush worth it?

Apparently yes.  Maybe next time I'll say no to free ice cream...

Week 2: Weight Loss Challenge Results

Another week is in the books.  I was able to get more cardio in so I received points for that (I did next to nothing in week 1), which was very helpful and moved me up the ranks of the competition.

In week 2 I finished 6th out of 23!  A nice jump compared to 20th place last week...

Here are the numbers for week 2 weigh in:

Weight - 302.6
Body Fat - 38%

Heading into week 3 with some momentum, I've got to keep it going!
