Hello Avid Readers!
I finally went in the right direction again! I weighed in this morning at 468.0 pounds, that is down 1.2 pounds! I know it's not a lot and I have a long way to go yet. I got in 4.59 miles and 115 minutes of exercise this past week. I did no exercise over the weekend, but, back at it today! I was awake fro 6am on Friday until 1:30pm on Saturday...then I slept...basically until Sunday. Sunday is football. I live and breath football during the season. So no exercise yesterday. :-(
I wish that I could lose weight faster, but, I keep telling myself they say the slow weight loss is the permanent weight loss. So if I keep holding on to that, then I can continue to do this slowly. That said I wish I was 180 pounds and then I could just maintain instead of trying to lose. I want to know why it is so much easier to gain the weight then to lose it? I mean if I could lose it as easily as I could gain it, it would take no time and I would be 180!
I had kind of a weird week last week. My Monday through Thursday was pretty normal, but, my weekend was not a normal weekend. Friday, I got up at 6am, worked my day, then off to ChAdam Games to work the Pre-release of the new Magic: the Gathering set: Innistrad. That started at 12:01am on Saturday. Of course I worked from 4:30pm Friday until 6:45am Saturday. Then a road trip to Stevens Point for a couple classes for my certification for being a CCD teacher. That went from 8am until noon. Then the trip home a little lunch and zonk time. I slept from 1:30pm until 9:00pm. Then back to bed at 11:00pm and got up at 9:30 Sunday morning. I guess I really needed the sleep. Then Sunday a couple football games and a nice dinner with the family. Watched a Movie and that was Sunday.
Now BACK ON THE HORSE! I just purchased a heavy bag to work on my arm and shoulder strength. I am looking for a good, but, cheap Treadmill for use during the winter and possibly a cheap Elliptical. Anybody that might have any leads on this please let me know at chad180knight@gmail.com.
Talk to you all next week.

Chad, it is wonderful that you are continuing to work at this. I would have given up a while ago. But your determination is what is going to get you through this, along with the support of Nikki, Molly, and Emma. Do not ever loose sight of WHY you are doing this. It is for YOUR health and to be around for a long time for them. If you have any pointers on how to keep yourself motivated, let me know. Timothy and I both need some good kicks to our asses! Keep on that horse! DO NOT EVER GIVE UP! But also take time for yourself and don't overpush...that might be worse than not doing anything. If you keep a steady pace, you'll do great!
