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:

  • Run/walk/jog at least 20 miles this week.  Boo! I did do cardio, but unfortunately I only walked/ran 5.7 miles.
  • Two more rounds of #awesomeworkoutchallenge.  Boo!  While I worked out, none of these were 152 minute workouts.
  • Three rounds of strength training.  WooT! I actually did some form of strength training 5 times this past week. Sometimes it wasn’t much, but it was something.
  • Work at least 10 hours of overtime.  WooT!  I actually worked 12.5 hours.

    •  

    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!

    Another week, another gain.  Big ol’ shocker.

    I’ve been losing and gaining the same few pounds for a bit now, but I thought I did better this past week.  I don’t think I ate an extra 3lbs worth of food, but I know some of the crap I did eat was of the salty crap variety.

    I’m not sweating it, because I WILL post a loss next week, dammit.  Even with my Moms “End of Summer” Party over the weekend.  I will do better.

    I’m also going to go and bring back some of the weekly goals that I used to do.  Hopefully they will provide some help with keeping me on track.

    • Run/walk/jog at least 20 miles this week.  This goes in line somewhat with my marathon training, which is something I’ve been sucking at.  My legs have felt like lead, and running has been extremely difficult.  I need to do it though, so do it I will.
    • Two more rounds of #awesomeworkoutchallenge.  As per the challenge, I have two more 152 minutes I need to do.  These may be used for my walk/runs, or something else, I’m not sure yet.
    • Three rounds of strength training.  Pretty straightforward.
    • Work at least 10 hours of overtime.  Not weight loss related, but something that needs to be done.

    How is everyone else doing with their weight goals?
