20 October
Feel like I am starting over, got a new baseline weight from the doctor. Corrected my scale issues, back on the diet and exercising every other day again (pulled a muscle), know that I am losing weight, clothes are getting looser and stamina is getting better. Just not where I thought I was. Next weigh-in will be next Friday, moved it to Friday since that will be 2 weeks from the baseline. Little down about the situation but just have to stick with it. Nothing to it but to do it.
Or, as one of the guys I served with on Mobility would say "HUAY", (it's an Army thing....)

10/10/10
It's Sunday,
Been a pretty good day, found a good hot wings recipe which has 0 carbs in it. Allowed me to enjoy watching football and movies with munchies. Still have to exercise today, but at least I was able to enjoy snacking for the first time in a while, cause you really have to watch those hot wing recipes, some of them have a whole mess of carbs (TGIFridays and Hooters for example).
Some days are harder than others, that's the thing about dieting; it is basically a solo venture. You can talk about support structures, others that are dieting with you, etc. You can complain about people eating things you can't eat, or not having enough of what you can eat. But in the end, it all comes down to this, How Bad Do You Want To Lose Weight. If you really want to lose the weight, no matter what happens you will have the will power to do what it necessary.
Guess that is all for today, tomorrow I work, we are getting in new laptops for on-call and finally just got the tunneling software to work, so maybe, just maybe I can get back to my studying and get a little stress off of me. Stress is part of our daily life, this is true, but added stress can really mess up dieting. And remember, most importantly, drink plenty of water, I believe they recommend at least 48 ounces a day (yes you will spend a lot of time in the bathroom); personally I drink even more than that (always in the can of course...). But one thing I have noticed over the years with diets, no matter which diet, not matter what types of exercise, if you drink a whole lot of water while dieting, the weight comes off a whole lot easier. You also need to either cut back on caffeine or add 8 ounces of water of each 8 ounces of caffeinated drink, caffeine bind fat to the body and water breaks that bind, which is why with the amount of coffee I drink that I consume a couple of gallons of water a day. Which means all I have to watch is my diet versus exercise. Good luck to all of you.

Oct 1 – Oct 8
It has been a long busy week, work piling up all around me, keeps me busy and the days go by fast. Got back on my diet after a couple of falls from grace. Have increased my exercise to everyday, nervous about the weigh-in next week, but if I continue as I am I should be okay. My current goal is to be on a normal scale at the Doctors office by Thanksgiving (that is one that only goes to 350). That means about 20 lbs in the next 7 weeks, with this diet I should lose that and more but that is my goal. My next goal after that is to get to the 2’s. I figure if I set goals between 20 and 50 lbs at a shot I should be okay. Especially if I give myself about 8 weeks for each goal. Reasonable on this diet.
My support structure has drifted away it seems, at least they aren’t as vocal about their support. I have to keep reminding people that I have changed my diet so I can’t eat certain things. It makes it hard sometimes because people forget that I need to have certain things to eat. Like the other night we had burgers for dinner, vegetables were supposed to be prepared so I would have something besides just burgers. They weren’t. They didn’t forget to make the fries though, a lot of good that did me. It’s incidents like this that make it stressful sometimes, Oh, I get the I’m sorry, but again, a hell of a lot a good sorry does for the empty stomach.
Have a question for any of my few readers, is there anyone out there that has diabetes and has had to come back from a lot of weight. (Like I am doing now) It seems that my legs are hurting more and more as the days go by. Is it because that now I am exercising I am just noticing it more than before when I wasn’t exercising? Or is it something else, it seems it’s the muscles that are hurting in spots. Unless someone has a suggestion I am going to wait a while to see if it eases up as I lose weight, if it doesn’t then I will contact my doc about it. Wish me luck.
Next weigh-in is Oct 14, feeling better about it right now, never confidant though. Will have to wait and see. This weekend should be good, nothing really to do, no events that is, just going to watch football, eat Buffalo wings and celery for snacks (great low carb snacks)

Weigh In
Posted 1 Oct
Sorry about the delay on posting, had some computer issues yesterday.
30 Sept 2010
Weighed in this morning, gained 1.8 lbs, can only attribute it to the extra carbs while I was sick, I didn't stop exercising no matter how much I felt like dying. Back on the low carbs now that I am feeling a little better. Still have the cough and still not 100%, but getting better, need to get better sleep though, that's causing issues. Hopefully with the increase in levels, and being back on the low carbs I should drop some weight, Thinking about going to work the bike on a 2 and 1 schedule instead of every other day. Might help to increase the metabolism so more.
It is a little discouraging, but have to keep working on it, it is going in the right direction. Will be glad when I finally complete my journey, it's amazing how much you miss french fries when you can't have them. Tired and it's time for bed, will get this posted when I can. Keep looking for the updates....
