Ok ok ok ok ok ok ok OOOOOKAY!! yeah I have not posted in a while…
So the question is WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!
Well I have not fallen off the Wagon..But I am well kinda stuck..Wait I can’t even use stuck as the proper phase, technically I am NOT stuck I am just ……for lack of a better term, I am Slacking.
I am currently weighing in about 220, and flucuate between 219 and 223 with a full stomach..
For the most part I am still eating healthy meals just not consistently, sadly I have gotten back into a routine of going to lunch with the guys at work every day and well lets just say some places you really have no options and have to make due, or get creative with your meal.
I am still mindful, but just not motivated, even though I have a free Gym I can access almost anytime I want, and I can fit comfortably into a size 36″ waist, so there are some highs… I guess I need to just get out of this rut and start exercising and finish this stupid thing… I still have goals to hit the ONEDER CLUB and Maintain, I just need to stop slacking …
All, thanks for your kind words… I am going to hold my self accountable once again and finish this goal!!!!
Maybe I will start tomorrow………………….

Went down to Galveston 2 weeks ago and saw the sites. It was a lot of fun. I even went to a water park and felt comfortable to take my shirt off. It was pretty awesome. Here is a pic of my wife and I on vacation
Pic before we went out for the night. Our 1st Anniversary

My wife is my biggest fan(also my most important!!) She sent me an email moments ago saying why have I not updated my blog yet, and then ended the email with “Slacker.”
The sad part is she is 100% right… I am a slacker!
Here are the results.

Any ways I am still losing. I have not put much Gym time in because during the summer time my Job turns from cushy sit on my butt all day to down and dirty, must move 5 ( and some times 10!!!) year old computers out from the school(s) and get ready for new replacements to come in…
This is a daunting job due to having to move old 30-40lbs old CRT monitors, and corresponding PCs from the schools and then haul them off to a hot warehouse where we must stack them on pallets and wrap them in shipping wrap stuff so they can be auctioned off for who knows how much…
Few pics…
88 monitors ready to be hauled away
The Corresponding CPUs Stacked and ready to be hauled to the warehouse.
So it’s essentially picking up a 30lb weight, carrting it about 15 yards, setting it down walking back and doing the same thing until there is nothing left to carry
By the End of the day I am exhausted and the GYM is something I do not even want to think about. But at the very least I am getting some work out in, and for now until that wraps up the ol’elliptical and keep on missing me!
So I know it’s been a while since I posted a few pictures…
Heck it’s been a while since I have posted something beyond my “Weekly Weigh Ins.”
On Saturday My Wife and I needed to go scope out a potential area for shooting. If you have been reading my blog for a while you should know she is a talented photographer. When we go explore an area, we tend to get a few shots here and there to see how they play out.. Here are a few of me when we were playing around enjoy!
20 weeks down, and here I am !

I have passed the 50 lbs Mark!!!!!
This pleases me greatly, as I continue to lose weight, I can feel onederland already!!!
One good thing about weight loss, and exercise is that I can actually ( well some what ) compete once again in sports.
Over the weekend, I attended a little get together in the park and we played ultimate frisbee. Its kinda like foot ball, with out the pigskin, the full contact, and well ok its sorta like foot ball but not really.Any ways I was able to play and not get tired, I felt really good after it was over except I some how injured my right hip and it hurts to this very day. I think it may be a sign of old age??
So wow the 220s… I can’t even remember the last time I was in the 220s. Perhaps maybe over 9 -10 years go. Have a Good Week!
OOPS, I did it again!!!( I do hate Brittney FYI)……
Another day late on the weigh in post, and I apologize for that. This week has been good to me for the most part, I am still trying to get back to full force in terms of work outs, but so far so good…
Week 18 05/20/09 — 232.2

Another loss which is good. I was afraid I might have remained the same, from my bad BBQ eating habits over the Holiday weekend, but alas I lost, and here I am..
You know I always come out swinging in anything I do, no matter if it is something I am very passionate about or something I am … well not so passionate about. It’s always been a crutch for me in many things but eventually that passion begins to wain a little, and then I struggle to keep my 100% effort going at all times.
This has started to happen here in my weight loss journey. The struggle as set in, and I am finding reasons not to do this or do that, that keeps me successful. I am still losing yes but not at the rate I was and that is ultimately my fault.
Tuesday night we went grocery shopping for the first time in oooohh…. 3 weeks, with vacation and holidays we have been eating out a lot more lately and while I am eating chicken sandwiches with side salads instead of double cheeseburgers and fries, lets face it…… It is not the most healthy thing to eat comparing to fixing your meals at home. So at the grocery store, I ensured we came out of there with healthy options for preparing and eating.
How does one get that passion back? Don’t ask me… I am running off pure determination now…
Now only if I could find that determination to blog more………………………
OOOPS… I totally spaced on updating the ol blog here… I am 18 weeks in and the 230s are KILLING ME!!!
Seems I am stuck at around 233, but yesterday morning I was able to break that a little bit and start tipping the scales back towards the way I like to see it go….
Week 17 05/13/02 — 233.2
Week 18 05/20/09 — 232.2
Total = 1lb
One pound gone. Not to bad, considering the week of camping and not exactly eating healthly ( Grilled Hamburgers and hot dogs mmmm ) and as well as not the typical amount of exercise I usually get in as well. So I will take it..
Lately my gym time has been declining a bit, I can say things like, ” I have been busy or what ever yadda yadda.” Truth is I have not been putting my self first in this one category, which coincidentally is the most important category to be selfish in. I need to start following my own advice again and finish this drive I set out to do back in January. Every week that goes by I am getting closer, and I can’t stop now!!
