I needed a good kick in the ass!
Date: 4/13/2009 12:14:48 AM ( 15 y ago)
The last two weeks have been a bit of a struggle for me with regard to staying on track to get to my goal of 190 pounds. I lost no weight week 14 and week 15 wasn't off to any better start. I was off from work all last week and bought a rack of half-liter German lager beers. The weather was beautiful and I was barbecuing every day for my kids. On Tuesday, I had a buddy over and we cooked up some bratwurst and got into the beer. On Wednesday, I got my kids a chocolate bunny for Easter and on an impulse buy, I bought a box of chocolates as well. Boy was that a mistake and I still can't figure out why I did that. Anyway, Wednesday afternoon and evening, I finished off the beer, five bottles I believe, and ate that box of chocolates, ten pieces in all. It tasted so good. I got up the next morning and weighed myself and I was at 215. I literally freaked out. The good news was that I have stuck to my weight training and not missed a day. The bad news was of course the beer and chocolates, as well as the fact that I have stopped doing my cardio for about eight or nine days. Well, once I saw the number on the scale Thursday morning, that was all over. Rather than doing interval training on the treadmill like I had been doing, I did a short warm up and just ran. On Thursday I ran for 20 minutes non-stop. I haven't done that in over 20 years. I'm up to 30 minutes now and that's where I'm comfortable for the time being. I really surprised myself with the running, and thanks to a rededication to my effort, I actually dropped three pounds for the week! No more screwing around as I have learned my lesson. I'm sticking to the diet, the cardio, and the weights until I get to 190! Below are the stats for week 15. Bottom line, I just needed a good kick in the ass to get back on track.
