Day -37

Weight 284lbs

Normally today would be my free day but I took my free day for the game on Tuesday so I finished my week today and will start a new one tomorrow. It has been a really good week for me as far as BFL goes I got a much needed day of slacking on Tuesday and still finished the week with great results. This morning I woke up late hit the snooze one too many times and quickly headed over to my brother's apartment to meet my parents and grandparents for his graduation. It was a nice but long ceremony, I was really excited for him to finally be done. Then we went to Rick's Boat Yard for Lunch I managed to find an item on the menu that pretty was pretty much BFL approved. Blackened Chicken Horseradish mashed potatoes and green beans. My eating the rest of the day was 100%. I came home rested for awhile and then went to the gym did a little cardio. After cardio I did some reading for my class. I finished the first 2 chapters three more to go by Wednesday. Tomorrow I will be doing my upper body workout after softball. I better go get some rest long day ahead of me.

P.S. Found out tonight that I got an A in my first class. One down 14 to go.

Day -38

Weight 283lbs

Today was a very lazy day I did some reading for class and a little cooking for the week but that was about it. Of course I went to the gym this morning and did my lower body workout. It was really good, I like going to the gym and planning as I go. I have been changing my workout as much as I can. I have been integrating the stability ball in most of my workout which seems to help with variety. Tomorrow I am going to my brothers graduation so I better go wrap his present and head to bead.

Day -39

Weight- 284lbs

This morning I woke up and went to the gym to do my cardio, I tried to really push myself. This week I have been going back to BFL style cardio and have been doing it on the Elliptical. I have also been stretching after every workout which was a goal of mine. I came home and made some EFL Golden Pancakes and then got ready for work. I left a little early to day so I could stop by Men's Warehouse and have some adjustments made to my suit so I could wear it this weekend for my brothers graduation. It's kind of funny because 5 months ago I needed to have it let out a little and know its too big!

Work was great very busy, it was our one wild Thursday sale. It can be hectic when its call after call all day but usually the end result is a good one, and today was no exception. I came home had EFL BBQ chicken pizza and then watched some TV.

Tomorrow I want to get most of my homework done as well as work ahead on some Essays I need to write for my ELA program. School is making my life busy but I know it will be worth it in the end. Probably better get to bed it has been a long day.

Day -40

Weight-287lbs

So no journal for yesterday it was my free day for this week. Yesterday was kind of my present to myself that I had planned since the middle of my first 12 weeks. I took a half day off work and went down to Rosenblatt to watch Creighton vs. Nebraska. It was a great day, I smoked some ribs which everyone loved, and had some beers, ok lots of beers. This was the first time I have had a drink of any kind since early Feb. I needed yesterday a lot I have been so stressed lately with school and adjusting to my new schedule it was great to have no worries for most of the day. Plus the good guys won 9-2! I think I may have stumbled on to a new diet too, I dropped two pounds since yesterday! Probably water weight since I didn't drink much water yesterday. Today was as stressful as yesterday was relaxing. Of course I woke up w/ a hang over and couldn't work out so I made my lunch this morning and went to work which was fine no problems there but I had to finish a couple of things for my class after work. I was a couple minutes late for class but everything went ok. After class I came home and went to the gym I felt so much better when I got out of the gym even though it was late my stress kind of just melted away and I felt much better. The new class I am taking starting this week is basic Marketing management it is great to be studying what I am actually getting my degree in this should be more interesting at least. Gotta go eat one more meal and then off to bed.

Day -43

Weight- 293lbs

Today went well but I am tired so it will be a short one. I beat my alarm this morning and went to the gym to do my lower body workout. It went really well my legs were shaking after I worked my quads. I used the stability ball against the wall while holding dumb ells. I liked it alot and I even used the stability ball to super set my hamstrings which was actually tougher than I thought it would be. Went to work it was dead because it was mothers day. So they let the moms in the department go home early which was nice. I hurried home and and then went to the softball field we lost 17-15 but it was a good game so that made it fun. Now bed, busy day tomorrow.
