Time to Buckle Up!

So here we are with just a little over a week left in this competition. I haven't reached all of my goals yet, but I am really close. The most pre-dominant one is to surpass the 50 lb loss mark (which is very close, only 1 pound to go). I know that this whole thing has not been about who could lose the most weight each month. It is about changing your habits and lifestyle so that you can feel good about yourself and stay healthy, but fifty pounds is a huge deal. That is almost a fourth of what I started at. Thats just crazy. Anyway, I've got a long week+ ahead of me. We are going to California for the holiday this weekend. So I have to put in extra time until then and as soon as I get back to make sure I can continue to progress. We'll see how it goes.

Two weeks to go and not such a good week

I didn't have the greatest week this week as far as losing weight goes, but not gaining is better then actually gaining. Some of my eating choices were not the best; however I did not completely crumble under the pressure and give it to crap. I just ate a little more of this or that. I'll get it together. I have too, looking at the percentages, it looks like I need to step it up to stay ahead of the crowd. Second place isn't all that far behind (and who knows it may be closer than that, those numbers are from the beginning of the month). So here's to my last two REALLY GREAT weeks of this comp. Going to have to do a lot of schedule juggling to stay on my game, but it'll be worth it. Good luck all. See you next week.

Three weeks and counting

We're down to the home stretch. Only three weeks left and still 15+ pounds to lose. It's gonna be tough, but it always is. Had kind of an interesting week. Received a phone call from my former boss asking how things were going b/c he is about to be swamped with work for the next month or two and wanted to know if I would be interested. So being that my current work week has been only 2-4 days of actually working, we talked out the details and I will be working from week to week (depending on when my current job's work becomes hectic). So far it has been good. Working long days and having the chance to pick up OT at the end of the week. This will hopefully help us get caught up from the extremely long slow season we have endured. We'll see how it goes. Anyway, I had a decent loss this week (any loss is considered decent at worst), and a good start to next week. Until next week, good luck and don't eat too many sweets.

The Home Stretch Eve

So not the greatest week I've ever had, but still a little productive. And besides I still have today to add to it before the weigh in tomorrow. So we'll see what happens. Don't really have a lot of time right now (I have to leave for school soon), so this will be short. Maybe I'll write more tomorrow after the results are in. Good luck all.
