I’m doing terrible with the diet end of things. I’m just eating whatever the heck I want in whatever quantities make me feel good, except for breakfast. I’m on vacation starting tomorrow, so maybe I can take the extra time to go to the grocery store and get something healthy for lunch. It might help…

We had Thanksgiving at my folks yesterday, and I stuffed myself. Somehow, the scales still show a half-pound loss. Weight: 282.0 pounds. Exercise: Week 2, Day 1 of the hundredpushups.com plan. I did 5 sets (4,6,4,4,6). Yesterday, I did the two-week progress test, and I maxed out at 12 push-ups. This is better than the…

I had a side salad from McDonalds for lunch yesterday, but with hamburger and fries, I cancelled out the healthy. Today, we’re going over to my parents’ house for Thanksgiving dinner, so it’s not terribly likely that I’ll be eating healthy today either, so I guess I’ll try starting the healthy lunch thing on Monday.…

Weight: 285.5 pounds. Holy crap! What happened? Actually, I know what happened. I ate out for lunch and dinner yesterday and didn’t even attempt to limit myself. I guess it’s time to take the next step. I already eat a healthy breakfast, so the next step would be to have a healthy mid-morning snack and…

Weight: 280 pounds Exercise: Week 2, Day 2 of hundredpushups.com plan. 5 sets of push-ups (5,6,4,4,7). The last push-up in the last set was a struggle, but the rest was a cakewalk. I’m hoping that I’m improving enough that I won’t have to repeat any weeks. Yesterday’s breakfast: 6 Weight Watchers points. 1 cup All-Bran…

Weight: 282 pounds Exercise: Week 2, Day 2 of the couch-to-5k plan. It was easier than the last run. On Sunday, I was about to fall out, but today I was just breathing heavy. I’m still doing terrible on the diet portion of this. Maybe I need to phase it in bit-by-bit. First things, I’m…

Weight: 281 pounds Exercise: Week 2, Day 1 of hundredpushups.com plan. I did five sets of push-ups (4, 6, 4, 4, 6). The last set wasn’t done with very good form. Hi, everybody. Well, it’s Monday. I only have a four-day work-week because I’m using another vacation day on Friday. Time to get my butt…
