4 MORE pounds lighter

I weighed in today and lost 4 more pounds which is a total loss of 9 pounds now. I am so excited!! :)

2 miles

I have now started the 2 mile walk. Want to talk about a difference. It is INTENSE!! :) I hope to pick up more days and start walking 4 - 5 times a week for at least 7 - 10 miles. Just keep me motivated people!! :)

5 pounds lighter

Well I got on the scales this morning and I have lost a little over 5 pounds since last Friday!! :) I am so excited!! I actually got Jenifer to do the 'walking' exercise with me last night plus we worked in the yard for the most part of yesterday - so at least I was able to burn some calories!! ;)

Hopefully this next week will let me see close to the same results. Right now I am targeting 10% of my weight which means I need to lose 31.7 pounds before I move on to my next goal. :)

Moving on...

Well yesterday was not a great day for dieting. Cayden had 2 pizza parties - 1 at lunch and 1 at supper. So I guess I can say that yesterday was a 'flop' day. However, I will make sure to increase my exercise for tonight to help burn some of those extra calories! :) I did get on the scales yesterday and I have lost about 2.5 pounds in the past 2 weeks. So while I'm just getting started I hope I can average 2 - 3 pounds a week. :)

Also - thank you to those that are clicking on the advertisements!! :) I have earned $12 so far...While I'm averaging less than $1/day at least it's some money I can put towards my student loans!!

Day 2

Well I started my dieting and exercise yesterday. Since I am in a hotel room 3 nights a week I decided to buy a Walking DVD. So I have been walking a mile each day so far. I hope that by next week I can increase to the 2 mile program. I don't have scales in the hotel so I will probably weigh myself every Friday morning. :) Hopefully progress will be seen soon. BTW - I have been soda free for 2 days as well!!

80 pounds to go...(more if I can)

Ok so I went to the doctor Friday and I have really gained some weight. In August 2005 I only weighed 244 (yes that is still to much) - now I weigh 317. My goal is to loose at LEAST 80 pounds - if I can average 2 pounds a week that will take me 40 weeks. I would like to loose 110 pounds though if I can.

I did much better with eating today. I only had a 6" sub at lunch (usually eat a footlong) and I ate baked chips and drank water. For supper I had a grilled chicken salad (fat free ranch) and a water. The only snack I had today was some pretzels. I also bought a Walking DVD that I can do when I'm in the hotel room each week - so tonight I also walked a mile, boy did it burn.

I hope that I can keep things going - I just seem to loose my motivation easily so hopefully I won't give up on myself. I know that I really need to do this to get my blood pressure down, weight off my back and knees, and my HDL higher!!!

I made the walk / sad news...

I made the walk across the stage for a second time in my college life. I completed my MBA in Management from UNA with a 3.82 GPA. While it was a wonderful day, it did not end that way today. One of my Aunt's has been battling lung cancer and she passed away this evening. Please keep the family in your prayers over the next couple of days. God Bless - Jeffrey

1st Hair Cut

Jayse got his first hair cut yesterday - doesn't he look handsome?!?! He is also walking now! :)

Advertisments

In case anyone was wondering why I have the advertisements at the bottom right of my blog it's because its' a way to earn money!! I get about 8 cents each time a person clicks on a link - that's all you have to do is click (don't have to buy anything, fill forms out or anything). I thought this would be a good way to earn some money towards my student loans. I know 8 cents doesn't sound like much but if I could get 50 clicks a day that is $4/day or $120/month that I could put towards loans. So if you feel like clicking - go for it!! You can click a link - come back to my blog and click another one (you can do this as many times as you would like)! :)

Training

Well I had 2 more days of training this week and I must say they were enjoyable. It always helps when you have a great speaker! :) There isn't much going on this week - I graduate Saturday - YEAH!!! Only after 21 years of going to school am I done (well for now). :) Hope everyone is having a great week!

Camera

Well for graduation I got me a Sony a350 camera. It is NICE!! I just now have to figure out how to use it. ;) This camera is a 14.2 megapixel which will allow me to have pictures blown up to bigger than a 30x20. I think it will be great to catch great shots of the kids with!! ;)

I made it!!

Well other than my throat hurting and my stomach being a little upset I survived the surgery!! I can already tell a difference in my hearing levels so hopefully this will help.

Well I'm off to watch Cayden play some soccer!
