Anyone remember my diet?

Some of you, or the one of you who reads this (thank you by the way), may remember that I am on a diet and trying to get into some shape other then round. Things were going great, down 22 pounds, walking almost everyday, throwing in some bike riding and even a little weight lifting at work (very seldom). Then I hit the dreaded plateau, the weight stop dropping off and I actually gained back a pound. I was not discouraged though, I can do this, I can keep up with this and reach my goal. That was three weeks ago and I have gained back another half pound even while continuing the workouts.


I am starting to get discouraged a little now. I keep telling myself "the plateau won't last long, keep at it!" I do feel better, some say I look better and my jeans are a little looser but darn it when will I start losing some weight again?

"Holly Bat Ca-ca Batman, can you say mid-life crisis at 38?"

So I hear you all saying "what the heck is Huskerheavy talking about?" Well to be honest I am probably not talking or thinking clearly. I want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. To do so I need to get to my goal weight. I made a deal with my wife that if I do I can jump out of said plane. It has always intrigued me how it would feel to just fall. No net, no mat, just me falling thru the air.

So this is a win/win for me and win/lose for her. When I win I will be at my goal weight and get to jump out of an airplane. When I get to my goal weight she will have a husband who is healthier and jumping out of a perfectly good plane.  Send me your prayers and wish me luck friends, on both.

Weight loss is the sucky suck.

I have been trying very hard as of late to lose some weight. With all the snow we received here this winter it was tough to get outside and do much.  I am happy to report that I am down 20 pounds (don't weigh myself everyday) since January. I am not going to tell you how much I started at, too embarrassed for that. I am starting to feel better and my clothes are fitting me better.

If I ever get to my goal weight I may be brave enough to post before and after pictures then. Just not going to post before pictures now. 

Anyone want to join in and tell about there exercise plan and how it is working? Let me know how its going and we keep each other motivated.
