Either my scale is really messed up or I’ve gained 7.5 pounds in two days. Today is my last day of birthday celebrations. We’re going over to my parents today, so I’ll get back on the wagon tomorrow. Meanwhile, I’m hoping the scale is just wrong. I ran 1.9 miles today and it was pretty…

Birthday’s are hell on a person’s good health intentions. Weight:?? pounds. (forgot to weigh) Exercise:Day off from pushups and running. Took Ollie out for an hour long walk in the woods. There was no exertion involved at all. Yesterday’s water:Zero 20-ounce bottles of tap water. Yesterday’s WW points:?? (Skipped breakfast, ate lunch at Gates BBQ,…

I’ve fallen off the wagon diet-wise. I ate half of a Mexican pizza from Funhouse for dinner last night and had three donuts as a mid-afternoon snack. Today doesn’t look to be any better as it’s my birthday and I plan to go to Gates BBQ for my favorite meal: Turkey-on-bun(on bread) with fries. It…

I finally got to the day in my running plan where there isn’t any walking. Up until now, it’s been alternating sequences of walking and jogging, but today it was all jogging. I did 20 minutes with the treadmill set on 4.5 mph. For you math whizzes, that means that I ran 1.5 miles. By…

Looks like I’m going to have to repeat week three of the pushup plan. I just can’t seem to make it through the whole workout. Weight:280.0 pounds Exercise:Week 3 Day 2 of the hundredpushups.com plan. 5 sets (10,12,3,4,4) Yesterday’s water:One 20-ounce bottles of tap water. Yesterday’s WW points:37 (41 food points – 4 activity point)

I’ve made it through a full-month of exercising every day and I’m feeling like I’m in better shape. Now, I’m just waiting for the weight to start dropping off as I continue to be faithful to my diet. Weight:282.0 pounds Exercise:Week 5 Day 2 of couch-to-5k plan. On the treadmill, I did a 5 minute…

Michelle and I went to a Christmas party yesterday at Brian and Angela Morris’s house. We had a good time, and I ate lots of good stuff there. I didn’t even attempt to count my Weight Watchers points. Then we went to Lola’s 2nd birthday party at Brandon and Emily’s house and I had cake…

We went to Olive Garden last night to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday, which means I had to rely on my activity points to stay within my daily Weight Watchers limit of 39 points. Linguine ala marinara is on their Garden Fare list but it was still 11 points. I did my progress test for the…

Six days in a row that I haven’t cheated on my diet. Michelle and I went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner up in Liberty after Jake’s basketball game last night, and I was sorely tempted to get a big ol’ prime rib and mashed potatoes, but I was a good boy. I settled for chicken…

Five days in a row that I haven’t cheated on my diet, but it appears that the scale is crap. I guess the best I can hope for from the scale is to notice a general trend, but I can’t rely on it for exactitude. I did really well with push-ups this morning. I think…
