Well, My coworker nad friend is off to the Army this week. I have got some good pointers and have started yesterday on implimenting them.

Today I walked home from church, 3 miles and at a fast pace. I had three of my kids volenteer in walking and they started to slow me down the last mile, but i pushed them ahead of me so that what little hinderance there was was hopefully minimal.

Diet wise, I had a three egg omlet with 3 pieces of bacon, a 1/4 cup of mushrooms, bell pepper and cheese. A can of tuna fish with a 1/4 cup of mayo, bell peper, and diced bread and butter pickles (sugar free). diner was steak covered in a cream sauce, cheese and mushrooms (about 6 oz) and about a cup of broccoli salad. For a snack, I had a carb free yogert with whipcream. For the most part, I stayed satisfied and was never hungry.

Tomorrow I start a new shift time, Thanks to my twin nine year old boys, and am adjusting my diet with my wake up time of 4 am and bed time of 7pm. Hoping that the change will be beneficial for myself and goals and to meeting my work and family needs.

Till tomorrow...

Now I know why I do not keep Journals...

Sorry for any gaps, but there is a reason why I do not keep a journal. (SEE...!)

Anyway, I have been working on school and diet, but with family life and being sick, I have not done my exercises. So, tomorrow I start in ernest again. I am hoping to hit the incline on Thursday or Friday with the great weather.

Books wise, I have been given a book by Charles Sakai, THANK YOU and found another that would help any with weight loss;

http://www.amazon.com/Body-Life-Mental-Physical-Strength/dp/0060193395/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1297827091&sr=8-1

and

The first book gives you some great tips and a break down of excercise, diet and other great tips for weight loss.

The second book walks you through exercises and workout plans for the individual. They are all built for you and ready to go.

I am hopeful in getting back to exercising and posting everyday.....

Ok, as my facebook page states "I do not know what hell is doing, but my little bit of heaven is frozen over". It has been a very, VERY! cold day. Did not exercise today. Yesterday I did 100 crunches and I am waiting for warmer weather to start jumping rope and walking/running.

food for the day:
Breakfast: 2 eggs and 4 slices of bacon
Lunch: Atkins Shake
Dinner: 6 oz thin steak, 1/2 cup of coliflower (mashed) and green beans.

till tomorrow.... Stay warm and safe.

Well, yesterday was a interesting and exhausting day. One of my boys, Jacob who is 9 years olf got an attitude at work and carried it over to the family before we left church. It got so bad that we felt it was time to have him learn another lesson the hard way. He walked home form church.... 4 miles. Now he did not walk alone; I went with him. He was so mad though that he kept a block or two distance between us.

Now, I was planing on walking alot, but in making the same trek as my son, in dress shoes (he wore tennis shoes) and at times I ran to try and catch him; up hill and down, I am sore to say the least. Everytime i caught up to Jacob, he would bolt ahead by a block to keep the distance.

Now today... I am sore. My feet are recovering from the abuse of yesterday and I had a busy morning in taking care of erands. Then to top it off, I forgot my lunch and dinner. So, I was on a liquid diet from 10 am onward.

We will see what tomorrow will bring with a -2 degrees forcasted for a high....

Well the good news, lost more weight than the last post...

140.9 kg....... 309.98 pounds

Diet wise, I am getting the portions down and drinking more fluids, but am needing to cut out sodas again.

Breakfast was skipped due to a school openhouse for Sophia and high school.
Early Lunch: steak fajita (6 oz), cheese (1/4 cup) and sour cream (1 tablespoon)
Dinner: 3 eggs scrammbled with a tablespoon of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of bacon (cooked), chopped bell pepper and mushrooms.

Stress is starting to mount as some un expected bills came in and I am frustrated over the timing. However, all in all, parenthood was the only other stress today.
