313/225/210...I feel ya man. Granted I'm not running like crazy and only just started this week to add 20 minutes of cardio to the end of my workout in hopes of getting the scale moving. It is...just the other way.

I've almost convinced myself that it's time to just stop lifting for a bit and focus on cardio just so I can try and get to my goal. I know my 3 week break from the gym in February is what caused my substantial weight loss then, but my lifts are already back to where they were before that break and I've been hovering around 224 the entire time.

I'm so close...I just want to get my 100 and my goal and have a little celebratory drink and pat on the back and get back to it.

haha, luckily that is one thing I have going for me. I don't drink very often, maybe once every 2-3 months. So it won't take many, but I still have to get there first

Yeah 3 biggest changes I made when I hit my goal
- started drinking more
- started eating out more (more social really)
- less intensity in my workouts

I think the first two items won't be a problem for me this time. The last time I lost any substantial weight was when I was 20ish living on a college campus. I did the exact same thing with drinking and just being more social in general. I've had that reality slap me in the face already, so here's hoping I learned my lesson. I'm also married and enjoy being boring and staying at the house these days, which is a big advantage

The last one kind of worries me, but to be honest I'm lifting weights I've never lifted before, and have goals in mind to reach that won't be hit for some time after I've reached my weight loss goals. So I'm hoping that one won't be a problem, but we'll see.

be patient. It will come off. I've been doing 10 miles a day for a week and haven't seen much drop in the past five days but I know it's coming.





You are staying away from the beer too I take it?

running 6 or 10 miles a day is just not good for you, guys. Any doctor will tell you the same.

I said that, I always do a mile a day but past 3 months I've run 80, 72, 61 miles until this month I'm at 71 right now. I can jog at a 12 minute pace for 4 miles and then mix up jogging/walking for another 2

Walking 10 miles, god dayum

At least it's not so bad for your joints

Down another pound this morning, but today has been a cheat day of epic proportion:
-pulled pork, mashed potatoes and baked beans at lunch
- cracklins ( ) and a little bit of pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cream cheese for dinner with a whiskey drink and a few vodka drinks.

I got 1/3 lb of cracklins and threw away about 1/3 of what I got. They are so damn good, but I get through about 6-7 pieces and it just makes me sick thinking about what I'm eating.

Good news is, there are TWO kids birthday parties tomorrow that I get to go to, so I'm sure there will be a bunch of crap food involved. I may try and get an extra insanity workout in tomorrow, but it depends on when I wake up.
