Weigh In

Well Monday evening is weigh in time. In the last week, I have lost 3 lbs! Woo hoo. Not too fast, just about right. Now if I can keep up that pace, I'll be good to lose some weight over the next few months.

Bound and Determined

Day 2 of my new adventure into weight loss. So far so good. I did good on my diet today. Had a good breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and then spent an hour and a half at the gym. I downed like 100oz of water today too, no soda, woo hoo! Did some weight training, and then 17 minutes on the eliptical. By the time I hit 10 minutes, I felt like I could go forever. I had my iPod blazin loud with music, and was in the groove. Right now I am trying to stop myself from standing on the scale. It's tempting, but I want to try and stick to weighing myself only on Monday nights. Hopefully I'll see more results. In previous attempts to lose weight, I was weighing myself every stinking day. That's probably why I always gave up. Alright, well there's my report for the day.

Vacation Ends

Today we came home from our trip to St. George. Bummer. I hate coming home from vacation. Then we get a call reminding us of dental appointments tomorrow. YUCK! Oh well.

I started on my quest to lose weight today. I spent almost 2 hours at the gym. Just over an hour of it was spent shooting hoops. Although it wasn't a hard workout, it was excersize none the less. I then spent some time on the eliptical, and then some weird arm machine.

After my gym time, I ran to Walgreens and picked up some Hydroxycut. Not sure if it will work. I've heard a few success stories, so who knows, I'll see if it helps at all. I figure if I can continue to work out and eat a bit better, I'll start to trim down. I just gotta try and keep myself motivated. I usually do well the first few weeks, and then fail miserably. I'm tired of being fat though, so hopefully I can use that as motivation. I need to pick a day that I can report my weight. How about Mondays!? Well since it's a monday, I stood on the scale right before writing here, and I weighed 313.6lbs.

Vacation

This weekend was spent in St. George, UT. Amy's birthday was today (sunday), and for her birthday we came down to see Les Miserables at the Tuacahn Theatre. It was cool. I haven't ever been to a musical quite like it. We had a good time, and even ran into some folks from our ward that went down too. We both have tomorrow off, and will be driving back home.

Today we spent the morning at Snow Canyon Park. It's a park that is about 4-5 miles long, and has probably about 10-11 different hiking trails. We didn't know what was here, so we didn't really prepare, but we ended up doing a few of the short hikes. We hiked up into a small slot canyon called Jenny's Canyon, and then we went and climbed all over the Petrified Dunes, last of all, we did a short hike they call Pioneer Names Trail. It's basically a small trail near a big rock face, where some pioneers back in 1894 wrote their names in axel grease on the rock face. Very interesting. After the morning adventure, we went to lunch at The Bear Paw. It's a small restaurant, that only serves breakfast and lunch. It was tasty food! After lunch we came back to the motel and crashed until 7. Man I was sleepy! We went out and had dinner at Wingers, and that's been pretty much our trip. It was fun, and it's a nice break from the normal day to day routine.

Trying to work on losing weight wasn't easy, and we really didn't do very well. Especially since we've had to eat out for all our meals. Hopefully we can get on the right track starting Monday. I'm pretty sure I haven't lost any weight yet, and I only have 2 1/2 months left to lose my 30 lbs that I want to lose. :)

Gosh i'm fat and outta shape!!

So, tonight, Scottie and I went to a Preseason Utah Jazz game. Watching the game reminded me of my good ole days when I was skinny and in amazing shape. Since my mission I've gained about 100lbs, which is depressing and sad....anyways.

I've decided to set myself a short term goal...lose 30 lbs by the end of the year. I'm not gonna get stuck on this 100lbs deal, even though that's where I eventually want to be. So, as of tomorrow (friday) morning, I'm on my new quest. I want to try and use this blog of mine as a tracker of weight lost.

If any of you few people who read this blog notice I haven't blogged recently about my progress, you better call me, and tell me to get on it. :) Well, that is all....
