Day -29

Weight-285lbs

So less then a month away from my second and probably final "official" challenge. I have been chugging along as Kevin put it but, I am getting to impatient for my "final" results. I know they will come and I know that I am also in a much better place than I was 15 weeks ago. I am sure it is linked to a slow week in the weight loss category. It's funny because I know this week I will loose weight, no question about it, but I still get down about it. Today went well I ate well and made some money at work. I think people were getting there shopping done before the store closed tomorrow. After work I cam home and took a little nap, then went to the gym. There was one car there I couldn't believe it they closed early for Memorial day. So I came home and did my leg work out with a stability ball. I strapped on book bags, golf bags, and anything that could be used as weights to myself. It was a pretty good workout considering. Tomorrow after I go golfing I will go to the gym (They are open till 8pm) and do cardio then Jon and I are going to do abs together. We wanted to try out floor wipers. They sound like fun and definitely require a spotter. Here is a link if you don't know what they are. They originated from Gym Jones the Gym that trained the "Spartans" in the movie 300.

Day -31

Weight- 283lbs

This morning I woke up early and went to work to fix my customer's issue. Luckily, she had calmed down a little since the night before and was much easier to deal with. I left work and went to the zoo to meet my Mom and her class. The zoo was a zoo! Half of the baseball stadium's parking lot was full and it was 10:30 on a Friday. It was a great day outside so I can understand why. I was really impressed with the new orangutan and gorilla exhibit it was a much nicer area for the people and the animals. I think the gorillas were my favorite part of the day it was just neat to see them up close and how massive their hands were. Another thing I was so impressed about were the Rhino's. Sizing them up I would have to say they they were at least as tall as me if not taller! I guess I thought they were a little shorter than that. The funny thing is I thought the elephants looked a little small.
I didn't really feel like hauling lunches around all day so I didn't eat from about 8am till about 2pm. I was so hungry when I got home. I ended up getting 5 meals in today. Later on I went to a local bar and met up with a guy I worked with at the Mart. It was good seeing him it has been awhile. I hung out for about an hour and then headed to the gym for the ole "speed" mile challenge. Well I finished today, my time was 8mins 20 seconds. I was pretty happy with that, heck 3 months ago my time would have probably been 20 minutes. I can't wait to see what I will be able to do come Sept. after my second challenge. Could I shave 2 mins off of that time? I don't know I don't think it would be impossible but definitely challenging. I came home ate my 4th meal and watched some TV. I didn't get any reading done today so I will have to make up for it tomorrow.

Day -32

Weight 284lbs

I woke up this morning and had a good upper body workout at the gym. My legs are still really sore from Tuesday's lower body workout. I came home from the gym ate and packed my lunch then headed off to work. That is where my day started going down hill. I screwed up a customer's order Monday, and long story short I am going to have to show up tomorrow morning for awhile to fix things. I hate making mistakes on orders and for the thousands of orders I write it doesn't happen all that often but when it does I hate it. After I get that order taken care of I am going to meet my Mom and her class at the zoo. It has been a couple of years since I have been to the zoo so that should be fun. Oh well better go pack my lunch for work tomorrow :(

Day -33

Weight- 285lbs

Work was slow today, but I managed to make some money. I ate well today, and all my meals were pretty much right on time. Any more I feel kind of like a broken record most days when I journal, but things are going well so I guess why fix what isn't broken. After work I came home packed a meal for class and rested for a few minutes. Class was good tonight, the 4 hours go by fast. After class I came home changed and went to the gym. I tried to push myself I wanted to see how fast I could run a mile. I started out at 7mph and gradually sped up to 8mph unfortunately I didn't pace it right and pooped out around .80 miles. I slowed down and walked hills the rest of the way. I might have to rethink my pace for Saturday. I didn't think I had a great lower body workout last night, but my body is telling me something completely different today.

Day -34

Weight- 285lbs

Don't really feel like writing just finished writing some papers for school so I am drained. The day went well my leg workout was pretty good not the best ever but decent. Eating was good today very consistent. I have all of my assignments done for class tomorrow which feels good, but I still have one chapter to read, I will probably read it tomorrow at lunch. Speaking of lunch time to go pack it!

Day -35

Weight 285lbs

Today went really well I got alot accomplished. Work wasn't horribly busy but really productive which was nice. After work I came home took about a 10 minute nap read my Marketing book a little bit and then went to the gym. I had a good workout on the treadmill today almost made it 2 miles. After my workout I came home did some dishes and back to reading. I cooked dinner and then watched the final episode of Heroes. It was pretty good nothing earth shattering but good none the less. After Heroes I made some EFL egg casserole for breakfast the next few days and continued to read. I am really enjoying this book because it is interesting to me. I am guessing come December I will be sick of reading marketing books, but either way it is a nice change.
