I can’t believe that tomorrow is Thanksgiving. This year has moved along so fast and it seems that every year it gets faster and faster. Christmas will be here before you know it and of course I’m far from being ready for it.
Tomorrow will be spent with family as I hope that everyone else will get to do the same. Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for what we have and maybe for things that we don’t.
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving tomorrow and have a lot to eat.

Today was a bust. I spoke with my doctor and he advised me to not get on my treadmill for a few more days. If it’s not any better by next week I’m to come to him for some x rays. With that said I guess I’ll wait until the weekend to try it again.

Treadmill didn’t happen today. This was our first major cool down of the season and today was hellish. My boss called me even before I left the house because of an issue. I rested my foot over the weekend and I thought it was doing better but because of all the running around I did today, by the time I made it home I was in a lot of pain. If I did anything right today was the fact that I did eat right and stayed on my diet. I might make the treadmill tomorrow eve.

I decided to take the weekend off and just make sure I work harder this week to make it up. My right foot has been giving me fits and I decided that I needed to stay off of it for a couple of days. I had a meeting this afternoon but other than that I’ve been staying off of it. It feels some better today after being off of it for a whole day. I know the scales will be much higher than on Friday but I’ll just have to deal with it.
I work three days this week and off for Thanksgiving Thursday and Friday. My wife and twin daughters are out of school for two weeks starting tomorrow and my son is coming home on Tuesday of this week so I’m actually looking forward to four days with my whole family at home.

Nothing but a sea of Yoga pants. Is that all they’re wearing now? It seems that all women are wearing them now no matter what they’re doing or where they’re going. Today at the game I noticed that nearly every female was wearing Yoga pants. Some of these women, in my opinion, really didn’t need to be wearing them. In fact, I was sort of surprised that they even made them in that large of a size.
Anyway, I did not get a chance to get on the treadmill tonight, which may have been a good thing being that my foot is really hurting me. I walked a little over five miles making the trip to the stadium from the car and back again. I’ll try to get on it tomorrow.

My ugly mug. Left picture was taken 2012, right picture taken today. I am 60 pounds lighter today than in 2012. It’s been a long, hard, painful road. As of this morning I weighed in at 284. This is not a new number for me because I’ve seen it before. I saw it on my way down to 269 two years ago and I saw it again on my way back up to 305 back in March of this year.
I have come to realize that it’s a mental thing with me. I started cycling just about the time I reached the 269 mark. According to the app I was using, it stated that I was burning over 2,000 calories a trip. In my mind if I’m burning 2,000 calories I can eat more and not worry about it. I stopped using the treadmill and just rode my bike and with me burning more calories I ate more and with that I started gaining my weight back. Like I said, it’s a mental thing with me.
I’m staying within my diet this time and I’m staying on the treadmill, at least for now. It’s too dark for me to ride when I get home and right now I don’t have the time to ride on the weekends.
Today had another 4 miles on the treadmill. My plans are tomorrow morning to get another 4 miles before I leave to go to the football game. I’m not sure if I’ll have time to walk after I get home.

Today’s workout consisted of another 4 miles on the treadmill. I am beginning to be plagued with foot pain in my right foot. I’m not sure if it’s diabetic related or if I’ve actually done something to it. I’m going to double up on my neuropathy meds tonight and see if that helps. Otherwise I may have to take a couple of days off the treadmill.
The scale god smiled on me this morning with a 1.2 pound loss. I’m hoping that this will continue over the next few days before the next plateau happens.
Tomorrow is Friday and I’m so looking forward to the weekend. We are going to Tuscaloosa to see my son and to go to the Alabama game. I’m hoping to get some good pictures of the band and even some pictures of the game.

Today marks the eleventh consecutive day that I’ve been working out on the treadmill. Out of the past eighteen days I’ve worked out sixteen days and I have lost a total of eight pounds as of today. When I first started I did an average of 2.5 miles a day. I have worked up to an average of 3 miles a day. Tonight I walked 3.4 mph for 4 miles and when I got off and headed toward the shower my clothes felt like I had jumped into a pool.
I guess I’m at a plateau because I haven’t lost anything substantial since Sunday, in fact I’ve gained nearly 2.5 pounds back. I haven’t changed my diet and I’ve certainly haven’t changed my treadmill habits. I’m going to keep up the fight and win this weight loss battle eventually.
