I recently read online that the key to losing weight was not only to have a reasonable goal, but was also to have someone you don't want to let down. I unfortunately don't really have a person in my life that I feel that way about so it creates a problem for me. However, the article that I read went onto say that using a online forum is suppose to fill that role. I'm not really into the whole forum seen so I decided to try it with a blog instead.
While I do want the focus of this blog to be weight loss it will also serve as my place for random thoughts and feelings I'm having as well.

Frustrated
Haven't posted in awhile so I thought I should.
I'm walking more and lifting more, but I still am seeing no change. It's beginning to get very frustrating. I'm thinking of trying out weight watchers to see if that makes a difference, but unfortunately I'm not optimistic.

Home or away
Doing a lot of eating out this week. So I'm going to have to watch what I eat while I'm at these places.
I also bought 2 15 pound weights today and worked out a little with them. It felt really good.

Shrimp genocide
Red lobster yesterday was great. My friends and I went and ate oodles of shrimp and I stayed below my calorie count. It was also convenient that my lose it app knew the calorie count for everything I ate.
Did some exercising today and am now relaxing and watching Wall Street. I'd say this weekend has been pretty good for me.

Irish Stew and lots of shrimp
Yesterday was the 1/2 to St. Patricks day party at my local Pub and I went a little crazy. I ate a lot and drank a LOT. I know the exercising is helping, but I still feel kinda lousy about.
It also doesn't help that I'm going out tonight to Red Lobster for endless shrimp either. At least shrimp are not a lot of calories.

Vitamins and soreness
Worked out again today. Did more then I did on Sunday and I'm not even half as sore as I was then.
I've also started taking a multivitamin and a fiber supplement. I've heard they're important to stay healthy, and I know they can't hurt.

NYC
Still sore from working out on Sunday. I went to hard to fast. I plan on working out tomorrow as long as my legs aren't still throbbing.
I'm getting plenty of exercise today. I went to the city (for those of you not in north Jersey I mean New York) and have been walking around all day. I'm in the museum of natural history now and am in quite a bit of pain, but it's that oh so good pain again.

Epiphany
So I guess its been pretty obvious the last couple of weeks that I've been "falling off the wagon". Its just been really hard to not be able to see a definitive change through all the hard work I've been doing. That however is all gonna change. I had an epiphany this morning. I can't really explain it but I just kinda feel like I'm back in the game all of a sudden, and honestly my biggest problem right now is beer. Which I am going to have to cut out of my life. This Friday I'm going to be going to this 1/2 way to St Patrick's day party, which I'm obviously going to drink a lot at, but after that no more beer until Halloween.
However, I have started exercising. Its raining today so no walking but I attempted a few push-ups, did some lifting at home. It is a step in the right direction if nothing else.

Bad Week
Unsurprisingly the scale is unchanged because this week has been rough. I've eaten tons of shit I shouldn't have, but nothing to put me over my weekly allotment. So while I feel bad for eating like that I'm glad that I'm still keeping myself a little in check. However unlike me last post said I did not start exercising. However it will change this week. I'm determined to get back on track.
