Day 41 and 42

It's tough to get out a do anything after being sick for so long, but I did it. The one bonus is that I lost a few pounds and I am going to keep it off. Tomorrow I am hitting the ice to go for a nice skate on the lake and in the evening I will be going to the gym. I will also be inquiring about spinning classes. Its no additional cost at my gym so why not take advantage of some free coaching :)

Day 39 and 40: Still sick

Nothing exciting to post for the past couple of days. I have been battling a chest infection. Day 41 is January 1st. The clock is ticking. No matter what I will be exercising tomorrow. This past week has been a complete bust and I hate it. The purpose of this blog was to find a new strategy to help myself follow through on a commitment and lately that hasn't been the case. I don't have time to be sick anymore. Back on the ball starting now.

Day 38: Damn This Illness

Seriously, I'm not being lazy. I have a sore throat, a nasty cough and so stuffed up that I can't breathe. Taking it a day at a time. My alarm is set for 7am. If this sore throat is gone then I'm heading to the gym.

Day 37: Taking Advantage Of The Weather

Today I went skiing with my fiancé and we are both feelin it. After getting in a few good runs I thought that I should take advantage of this opportunity and burn an extra few calories. I found if I kept my knees and hips bent a little more than usual, ever bump you hit on the hill feels like a squat exercise. My legs are on fire right now, just like when I go to the gym. But this way I got to spend some quality time with my fiancé.

Days 35 and 36: Down For The Count

Sick as a dog. No more treating my body like a garbage dump for fatty foods. Party time is officially over. I'm back on track now.

Day 34: Christmas Day

You may have notice that my recent posts have been coming in a day late. Well actually it's because I'm not getting home until really late ...these holiday celebrations have made it tough to follow the program. But by working out as hard as I can I have managed to maintain a constant weight over the holidays. From this day until October 15th I have no further excuses. Time to get with the program again.

Day 33: Can't Move

I worked so hard yesterday that I can't move today. I wish I could say I just took it easy and ate well, but I made a stop at my bosses place and, well ...ate like a champ! Actually, I didn't eat more than anyone else at the table but, because I have been decreasing my protion sizes, I can't eat as much anymore. And since I'm still "the big guy" people seem to think I want to eat more. AND because it's Christmas and they were nice enough to have me over for dinner I have to eat everything they give me ...just to be polite ;) But seriously, am I the only one that has been in this situation? I think not. I was so full that I felt like I was going to explode.
What can I say ...it's christmas eve. I'm just trying to maintain. Tomorrow is Christmas and I think I am doomed.
