Doug after I lost 65 pounds!
I am generally camera shy. On our 2005 Caribbean vacation, I was forced to pose for a shot!

July 6 2010 175lbs Tuesday
I am just back from a short vacation, and not displeased that I have (like I usually do) not gained any weight. the goal this month is to lose 10 lbs and try and reduce my high-normal blood pressure.

 

More in future posts, have a nice Tuesday! :D

I did almost my best, yesterday, as far as eating goes, in a long while. I did do a little late night snacking. Not much. I did manage my eating for the whole day, and not any bad snacks.

This weekend i hope to keep it up. Have a fun weekend! :D

 

May 26 2010 175lbs Wednesday
I think I've been slowly changing my eating habits, mostly for the good. i have been having some "pastry" moments. Maybe it's a food that i should completely ban from my life at this time. I don't seem to be able to control myself with these types of foods. I am hoping to get some exercise tonight, however a personal project looms. i'll do my best.

have a wonderful Wednesday! :D

 

May 21 2010 176lbs Friday
Two things, I have done very good with adding exercise back into my schedule. in fact i have been exercising very hard. The other thing, is I have been trying to get a little more rest at night for recovery time. Unfortunately, I have been extremely hungry after exercise. So have not taken advantage of the calorie burning.

Try to do better this weekend, have a good one :D

I was very stable with my eating, yesterday. Although having a couple of food sins, i managed my snacking well and didn't go crazy at night, like usual. I hope to keep that up today. I also didn't exercise, last night. Tonight I will do something, for sure.

Have a wonderful Wednesday! :D

 

May 18 2010 176lbs Tuesday
Feeling much better about my effort yesterday. I managed my eating very well, and got in some good exercise late in the day. I also did no late night snacking. Hopefully I can keep it up!

Have a nice Tuesday! :D

 

May 18 2010 178lbs Monday
Definitely a weekend of not eating properly and not exercising much. I paid for it by feeling really very bloated for most of the weekend and lethargic for the rest. Not a good thing.

Have a Fun Monday! :D

 

May 12 2010 176 lbs Wednesday
It was an okay day managing my eating and after work snacking. The exercise factor was non-existent yesterday. Still battling through the dominant home project and also a night school class. Today I have a large over abundant home project planned. I have a good lunch packed and hope to build from there.

Have a nice Wednesday! :D

 

May 11 2010 177 lbs Tuesday
Not a big drop, but I am pretty happy with my effort. I feel like I am back on track again, and will keep improving this week. Today I have to improve my discipline and control my cravings a little more, while keeping up the exercise. 

Have a fun Tuesday! :D

 

May 10 2010 177.5 lbs Monday
I had a setback with my asthma as it was bothering me a lot over the past few days. this made me lay off any aerobic exercise whatsoever. I feel really bad about that as I rely on exercise to make up for my lack of eating discipline. I hope that i am feeling a lot better soon and that I can get back exercising soon.

Have a fine Monday! :D

 

May 6 2010 175lbs Thursday
A decent day, yesterday, for exercise, and managing my snacking late at night. I think that I can do a little better in controlling my snacking after work. i need to also look to a few more high energy foods for during the day to fend off the crash i get, later in the day. A positive step, though.

Have a terrific Thursday! :D

 

May 5 2010 177lbs Wednesday
I definitely let things sneak up on me, yesterday. I think there were a few critical snacks and meal choices that really put me over the top. Add to that i have a course Tuesdays, This allows me to have an excuse, not to exercise. I'll try and do better today!

Have a super Wednesday! :D

 

May 4 2010 175lbs Tuesday
The last few days and the weekend, i have been doing very good. Much less snacking. Not perfect but much better. A little more healthy lunches, which i am going to continue and hope that it keeps my energy level high. I am going to try and manage my personal projects as well, so i keep exercising regularly.

have a fantastic Tuesday! :D

 

April 30 2010 177lbs Friday
I admit it, i did not do good this week, I also need to exercise more. So my bad eating/snacking habits along with my lack of exercise, and paying too much attention to personal projects, has not been good for me. I hope to do great this weekend, and  exercise more.

A big challenge, wish me luck. have a nice weekend! :D

 

April 29 2010 176lbs Thursday
If anything. I have been consistent. My eating habits were slightly better, yesterday, but I had a project and did not exercise, like I usually do. Today i will try and continue the eating habits and try and continue to improve them. I made some strides, so it's time to build on those.

Have a fabulous Thursday! :D

 

April 28 2010 176lbs Wednesday
It was both good and bad, yesterday. I did a great job exercising, i did a decent job managing my eating, but again my late night snacking was not perfect. Also ,y post work snacking was not great. It is a good step in the right direction. I am hoping to keep making gains and eliminate a few more bad habits today!

Have a cool Wednesday! :D

 

April 27 2010 177lbs Tuesday
Well I did not do as good as I should have, yesterday, especially with my level of snacking. During the day I gave into temptation a couple of times, and during the evening as well. I'll see if I can be a little cleaner tonight!

Have a fun Tuesday! :D

 

April 26 2010 175lbs Monday
Well not a lot has changed over the past few months, when i have not been updating, however, I feel like I am on a mission now. I plan on doing a lot more exercise this week, and trying to manage my snacking ad eating as much as I can to get it into gear for the summer.

Have a fabulous Monday! :D

 

January 11 2010 176lbs Monday
Starting to get back into the full swing of things, finally. Regular swimming and regular gym. I think the biggest thing that I have to do is manage my energy. This will be a function of making certain that I get enough rest at night, and making certain that I am eating just a little better during the day, during the weeks. In this way I should be getting better nutrients, and feeling more energetic.

Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy New Year! I wasn't exactly watching my weight over the holidays, and it shows. I had been skipping some exercise, and indulging a bit more than i should have been. It was a fun time, though!

All the best for the new year, and I expect to get back on track soon!

Have a great day! :D

 

Dec 9 2009 175 lbs Wednesday
I am making progress getting back into the regular exercise routine. My energy is coming back and I felt good at swimming and in the gym on the weekend. I went to the gym last night. It was good. I have swimming scheduled tonight, and should have no problems getting there.

Have a fun Wednesday! :D

 

Dec 2 2009 176 lbs Wednesday
It's not going too bad, getting back into the swing of things. I am going to have to moderate my eating slightly, but otherwise am feeling great. Swimming night tonight. I have a fairly big personal project that I am working on, so that is taking some time.

Have a cool Wednesday! :D

 

Nov 30 2009 176 lbs Monday
It's been a month fraught with illnesses and excuses. I hope that these are over now. I feel like my energy is slowly coming back. It's been a very challenging time, but I did get into the water over the weekend, and I also went to they gym yesterday. I am very much hoping this is something that I can continue, to get better and get my energy back.

Have a terrific Monday! :D

 

Nov 18 2009 175 lbs Wednesday
Still feeling healthier, touch-wood, so swimming is planned again tonight. The exercise is going to be very welcome. The feeling better part is also something I really appreciate after the last couple weeks. I am getting mentally ready and psyched to start in on a much more disciplined diet and control of my snacking as well.

Have a cool Wednesday! :D

 

Nov 16 2009 177 lbs Monday
It's been a couple weeks now that I have been under the weather. I have been taking it easy, trying to get more rest, sleeping in and generally trying to fend this off. I think it's been going okay, and that I have been getting more energy as of late. I have been going to the gym infrequently and less frequently going swimming. I hope to hit the pool tonight if I feel good.

Wish me luck and have a great Monday! :D

 

Nov 2 2009 175 lbs Monday
Last week is now over, and I hope all of the colds and muscle injuries. This week I am pumped up to get on track exercise and diet wise. The first challenge is packing good lunches for work. Have a great week!

Have a cool Monday! :D

 

Oct 27 2009 176 lbs Thursday
A Couple of things have happened. One I hurt my back a little and two, I have not been exercising s much. A third thing has actually happened, I have not been very disciplined in my eating. Today I'll attempt to do much better in the eating department. I definitely need to get out of some bad habits!

Have a cool Tuesday! :D

 

Oct 21 2009 173 lbs Wednesday
So I have been working on a project, and skipped exercise both Monday night and Tuesday night. I definitely need to exercise. Tonight is swim night, so that will help me get back on track. I made a few little food sins over the last few days so, I will need to muster up some discipline again.

Have a fine Wednesday! :D

 

Oct 19 2009 174 lbs Monday
It looks like I did not too good on Sunday. I am regretting some of the meal choices that I mad. I was also kind of busy and skipped jogging again. I need to prioritize this for exercise and asthma purposes. A new week ahead and I am feeling very positive this week.

Have a fine Monday! :D

 

Oct 15 2009 169 lbs Thursday
Wow a very good day yesterday. Now I have to keep it up. Hopefully the good work on the scale will be a positive influence. I worked pretty hard at swimming last night. I have gym scheduled tonight.

Wish me luck

Have a fine Thursday! :D

 

Oct 14 2009 171 lbs Wednesday
It looks like I did fairly well over the last few days, even though it was a long weekend, and I missed a lot of exercise. The plan is to keep up the lowered level of snacking and get back to the exercise routine. I have been making some less than stellar food choices, so i need to watch that,

Have a cool Wednesday! :D

 

Oct 9 2009 175 lbs Friday
Contrary to what the scale says I did do very well with eating and exercise yesterday. I had a couple protein drinks which add up to a lot of calories always, but at least a quality food as opposed to all the junk I had been eating. Looking forward to a big weekend!

Have a great Friday and fun long weekend! :D

 

Oct 8 2009 173 lbs Thursday
All due to a very hard swim workout. It looks like we have a challenging series of swim workouts, so that is great for weight loss, not so great for energy levels. I had a couple food sins yesterday. I'll try and keep working on this.

Have a terrific Thursday! :D

 

Oct 7 2009 175 lbs Wednesday
Well not much changes except for the lack of exercise due to my course Tuesday nights. I think that I had only a couple of food sins yesterday, which was good. Today i will try and reduce a little and look forward to swimming tonight.

Have a nice Wednesday! :D

 

Oct 6 2009 175 lbs Tuesday
I think that I am going to start adding up food sins, maybe that will help me stay on track. So anyway I had approximately 5 food sins yesterday. Today I will try and lessen that amount. I have a course so may have to skip gym tonight.

Have a great Tuesday! :D

 

Oct 5 2009 176 lbs Monday
Obviously not a great job this weekend, in managing my eating. Certainly I've been getting enough exercise, but not enough smart eating and smart snacking. I have my work cut our for me this week.

Have a fine Monday! :D

 

Sep 28 2009 173 lbs Monday
Well I am reaping the benefits of skipping swimming Friday night. On the plus side I did go jogging Sunday night. This was a help. I think I could have eaten a little better over the weekend. I did do better than a lot of weekends. but my meal choices while eating at restaurants could have been much better. I'll try and make up for that this week.

Have a cool Monday! :D

 

Sep 25 2009 171 lbs Friday
I had a personal project last night which cause me to work a lot without too much eating or snacking. This was a good help in polishing off a few calories, but I skipped going to the gym. Tonight is a swim night. I hope to either go swimming or to the gym. One or the other.

Have a fantastic Friday! :D

 

Sep 23 2009 173 lbs Wednesday
I think I have been eating more precisely and watching for the most part, what I am eating. I have also been exercising very hard. This is making me pretty darn tired at night, and in the morning when I wake up. An adaptation that I am going to have to make. I have also not been having any naps after work, which maybe will help.

Have a fine Tuesday! :D
