The first thing I do each morning is get up and step
on the scale even though I knew it might mean the end of beard, I was really
hopping to see a drop down under 299.8.
Alas this was not the case despite trying 4 times and even breathing out
before getting on the scale I couldn’t change the 300.2 number. I’ll be honest, I know with my size this is
something as simple as a little too much salt yesterday or just a lot of
toenail growth, but I found it to be devastating. I think my favorite part of the biggest loser
is when those big guys drop under 300 and they say “never again, I’ll never see
300 again” I want that to be me.
On top of the lack of weight loss, I work up sore,
real sore. I can’t laugh, breathe deeply
or turn without a lot of pain through the mid section. I’m not sure what I did to my Abs Sunday
night but things weren’t feeling good Monday morning. So in the end, I decided to move my workout
until later and head out to work.
This is where my problem today started, because if
you remember last week, I talked about the excessive heat we had been
experiencing. Well Jen’s grandma heard
our pleas and decided to give us a couple window air conditioners. So Monday after I finished work we went over
to my in-laws to see my wife’s side of the family. (On a side note everyone dined on casserole
full of cream soup, hash browns and burger.
But you will notice I had a chicken salad) Well the mini reunion lasted
until about 9:30, but then someone needed to take Jen’s brother home and I was
the most obvious choice. So after a
drive back and forth to Adrian it was 11:30 and I was too tired and to sore to
make it through a workout.
I’ll move my workout to Sunday again, but I am going
to have to get back on track at some point.

On the
plus side of things my Abs are feeling a little better, and I have plans to work
out with my brother in the morning so I’ll tell you about it then…
Keep up the good work, Tim! You can do it. Just stay focused! I'm trying to do a weight loss challenge right now, and haven't been focusing on it and lost a little over a pound in one week. But if I focus on it, I gain weight. How does that work? Haha. But it's good to see determination!
