In a post I did earlier in the week, I explained that I was working a lot and not really sleeping at all. Well, along with that I have been working right through exercise time as well. My exercise has consisted of throwing footballs and doing a little jogging at football practice when I am coaching, that is about it. I also have not been eating healthy again because I haven’t really gone to the grocery store in a long time. I don’t really have the funds right now to go out and by $100 worth of groceries. Business is good, but there are plenty of other things that require my money at the current time. Back to the subject, I have put some weight back on unfortunately. Not a lot, I am still down a few pounds from back in September when I got serious about losing weight, but still not down to what I want to be.
I have a monthly goal of losing 5 pounds before every doctor visit, which at this time is every 4-6 weeks. I may have to cancel my next visit that is scheduled for later this month because I may not have insurance coverage at the time, we shall see and I should have a better answer shortly about that situation. Once again, if anybody has information about being on Cobra, I really need your help. I’ll post more tomorrow, but I no longer work at the diabetes supply company that I worked at for 2 1/2 years.
I will get back into my workout habits again, it doesn’t take much for me to get back into the gym, it’s just making sure that I continue to go everyday, well at least 5 times a week. I also need to cut back on my coffee intake and fast food. Lately I have not been cooking breakfast, instead I have just been going to Dunkin Donuts and getting a large coffee and a sausage biscuit (it’s only $0.99 so that’s why.)
Here is my goal and I will keep a daily record on my blog of this starting on Friday November 6, 2009. I’m going to look for a cool WordPress plugin, if anybody knows of one, let me know, that will put a chart or graph into my blog and I will add it into here. But I will keep track of my daily calorie intake, as well as how much exercise and energy drinks that I intake.
I’ve cut down on my exercise too and gained maybe 3lbs back. Without the exercise, controlling the diabetes is much harder! Time for me to get back on track too.
Stick with your exercise program. Even if you only do 10 or 15 minutes per day, it’s better than not doing anything. How do you feel? What image do you have in your mind? If you’re “thinking and seeing” fat, you’ll will not lose weight. You’ll just attract more pounds. Believe me I know. I lost 100 lbs. then gained 60 lbs. of it back. Luckily, I moved from OH to AZ (hot, hot) and lost the 60 lbs. and then some!
