Can I tell you how frustrating it is to try to get back into the game, and to only see gains for the weeks that follow?
Frustrating at hell!
I thought I did okay. I have been at the gym almost every day, and the days I wasn’t at the gym I was doing something at least.
I did okay at the party, not as good as I could have done, but it certainly wasn’t horrible.
I thought I did okay foodwise, but you can still eat bad without considering it gorging, so I have some work there, I guess.
Anywho, here is a rundown of my goals for the past week:
Okay, we’re in another week now, so here is a new set of goals:
- Run/walk/jog at least 20 miles.
- Four rounds of strength training.
- Work 10 hours of overtime.
- Lose SOMETHING!
- Watch the diet. No unnecessary crap.
In other news, I got my digital body fat monitor in the mail. Still waiting on the calipers so I can compare readings, but I’ll be including a body fat count in the weekly status reports from here on out. Weight itself isn’t everything. I have to get both of those numbers down.
That’s all I got. Hope you have a good day!
Definitely understand your frustration. Good luck reaching your goals this week!

Hey Steve. Are you counting calories? In the last few days I’ve been doing a food diary again and my actual intake was was (surprise surprise) more than I had estimated. “I did ok foodwise” can easily be more calories than we think.

You know what? I agree with Harry – just track for a few days and be 100% honest with it. Sometimes, we’re surprised by the actual calories/fat/sodium/carb/sugar/protein counts, but even if the diet (by diet I mean food intake) is “ok foodwise,” it might still be good to tighten up the screws just a bit. I’m not preaching to you so much as I’m preaching to myself…
It will be ok, buddy. You can do it!

Keep posting these. As long as you keep posting, I know that you care. The moment you disappear is the moment that I know that you’ve stopped caring.
Hey Steve – I totally understand your frustration – I’ve been hovering in the 230′s for a couple of months now. I’ll lose, then I’ll gain – rinse, lather, repeat. Ugh. But at least we’re trying! I have no doubt our efforts will start to pay off soon enough. Stick with it!
Chad´s last blog ..Weekly Weigh-In 44- Live Life Today!
I totally understand where you’re coming from. August, for me, was a pretty stagnant month for weight loss. I agree with the other commenters about tightening up your diet. Weight loss/body recomposition is about 80% diet and 20% exercise. It can be very easy to eat too much. I’ve lost over 25 lbs since June 1 by eating a pretty strict Paleo diet, and haven’t been hungry at all and haven’t counted any calories. You might want to check it out. If you’ve got questions, I’d be glad to answer ‘em.
