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;
Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength
http://www.amazon.com/Body-Life-Mental-Physical-Strength/dp/0060193395/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1297827091&sr=8-1

and
Get Fit For Free and Ditch the Gym for Total Fitness: Workout Routines to Keep Fit, Tone Up, Lose Weight, and Save Money
http://www.amazon.com/Get-Free-Ditch-Total-Fitness/dp/1606521934/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1297827153&sr=1-1

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.....
