Well, while I have been trying to find my stride a bit, I have officially started the routine monday.

Its going to take more planning the first few weeks to keep myself on track (especially with eating 5 times a day).

I actually use to do that years ago when I was having stomach issues and I managed to get down to my ideal weight then. So here goes again.

Windsurfing this weekend was a blast. But I was horrible at eating as I was on the water most of the day. Who wants to stop when the wind is so good. So, the first day wasn't great for balanced meals throughout the day. Will try to be better tomorrow. Also hauling a sail around all day made the upper body strength workout a challenge. But, I did it :)

First day back online after a holiday weekend.
I did pretty good I think. Even managed to walk a mile at the track on Monday. Did more swimming on Sat.& Sun. than I thought I would too.
Internet was down during break again today, so no online ab exercises done again. After work I have an appointment, and other things to get done - not sure if I can fit it in then or not. Plus, I'm tired and it's a grey, rainy day - the kind for taking a nap. - And deep down inside, I know the real factor in just wanting to take it easy another day is because I got some bad family news over the weekend, and my mind is preoccupied about if there is anything I can/or should help in the situation.

Good evening! Whew! What a workout!!! It was good, but now my legs hurt, my big toe keeps popping in its socket, my ligaments feel twisted around to where I'm not sure if I'll ever walk upright again! JK :) It was a good workout, but surprised myself as to how much endurance I've lost since the last time I jogged. Only did 2 miles! (Used to do 5) But that was before these love handles ;) So, I ate good today. Fruit in the morning, salad for lunch, and a decent well rounded meal this evening. I didn't take 2nd helpings! I got my nutrition plan today from Chad. Looking forward to giving that a swing, being that I know nothing about eating healthy!!!! Oh, and if anyone has easy, college student, healthy recipies, please let me know! Funny thing happened today. I had a salad from Burger King since that's the closest to my college. While I was in there, I was so distraught over just eating salad that I forgot my keys to my car on the tray and proceeded to throw my trash away... I get out to my car, and I'm like "This sucks!!" I search high and low in that place for my keys. Finally, I ask the people that work there to let me into the trash cans. LOL... Ever notice that there is a key needed to get into the trash???? Who would want to steal it??? One day, you and your friend are out hanging out, maybe a little drunk, and you go... "Let's go steal some trash!" He's like, "Ya, man! You never know, some idiot might have thrown his keys in there and we'll inherit a VW Passat." Back to my story, I got into the trash, digging around, I skewer a pickle, cold french fries, ketchup flips up on my knuckles, my friends are taking pictures for "Marty on College Budget" Album, finally I get them!" Tomorrow is DEFINITELY going to be a better day... With that, I sign out................................ "To go steal trash from Burger King"
