Good morning all my loyal subjects! I am feeling pretty good this morning! It has been a while since my last update - thank you Susan for busting on me. Yesterday KSTS & I ate well and worked out hard! I am very proud of both of us! When we got home from work I was working in the yard dead heading roses and pulling some weeds and KSTS came out and let me know she had a really bad headache and was not feeling well. So I finished up my yard work and come in to sit with her for a few minutes. I was about to say lets just not work out and relax, but I really wanted to start back and get in gear! September/October is rapidly coming and by George I have some fat to burn! So I told KSTS to rest and I was going to go start our couch to 5K. But she was a trooper and said she wanted to come, even though she was feeling like bootie stank and not feeling it. BUT SHE CAME! And it was a good work out! We did our warm up then alternated walking for 90 seconds and running for 60 - we did that for 30 minutes. We both felt great afterwords! And her headache was gone! AMAZING! Exercise sucks huge monkey butt, but it does make you feel better - when it is done... We had a couple quick errands to run and we grabbed some dinner while we were out - a little Mexican, but light on the chips and the fattening stuff. Then we came home and cranked out a P90X workout - it was the first in a LONG time. It was not fun and although Tony Horton is a stud, he is quite aggravating and is hard to watch when it is the same dialogue over and over and over again.... It was a chest and back workout - and I am feeling it this morning! And I like it! I felt so great, AFTER the workout was finished - and I am so PROUD of KSTS for sticking it out and not giving in! We are officially back on track! I weighed in yesterday and I was 326 - fat bastard - I know... But the other days I posted about being back on track I allowed myself to get side tracked... This time I am posting after an official workout has taken place and I have proof today of how great I feel! So I am OFFICIALLY back on track! I have got to be dead sexy for the beach and for a wedding KSTS is in! We are going to see a lot of her old high school peeps and I don't want her friends to look at me and see KSTS married a fatty-Mcfats-a-lot! I want her friends to be jealous of her James Bond studly man-dingo husband! I am have to be svelte and smooth! I may have to work on the smooth part as well... SO! Let me recap it again - it was SOOO freaking hard to get over the hurdle of not working out and not feeling good and being grumpy and just pushing it off another day, then another week, then another month.... But I swear I feel like a champ today! If you can just get past day one, then day two, then a couple more - you will feel so wonderful! I feel like I am on crack this morning! I can't imagine how good I will feel in 13 more days! Usually the first two weeks of being back on track I feel amazing! If I weighed in at 326 yesterday then by May 30th - two weeks - I want to be down to 316!!! 10 pounds in 2 weeks - WAY DOABLE! I am not joking about how good I feel after just one day of eating good and working out - AMAZING! If I could have only remembered sooner how good this feels then I would have gotten back on track right after my birthday - instead it has taken literally 2 months to get back on track! I know you are not supposed to look back, but imagine if I had not taken off these last two months???? Think about it.... Even if I just just lost 2 pounds a week I would be down to 290! Can you freaking believe that???? Instead I gained weight and am a portly 326! Sucks monkey balls! But I can't look back - i cant change the bonehead decision of eating like a pig - all I can do is not let it happen again and kick it back into high gear! And I am doing that! I am on a high and I am going to stay that way! I beg of all you peeps that read this - PLEASE JUST MOVE A LITTLE MORE AND EAT A LITTLE LESS! I PROMISE YOU THAT YOU WILL FEEL BETTER! AND ONCE YOU START FEELING JUST A LITTLE BETTER YOU WILL WANT TO KEEP ON FEELING EVEN MORE BETTER! (I know that is some amazing grammar skills right there!)  My food today - fiber one bar and granola bar this morning, I have 3 apples for snacks throughout the day and raisins, two cans of soup for lunch. I am going on an apple kick lately! Tonight we are eating at dirty dons, but KSTS and I already have a game plan of what to order so we don't over eat and so we eat the right kind of food! Then we are just going to do a quick walk (part of the couch to 5k plan is to ONLY run 3 days a week, and to not push past what they have on their plan - that way you don't burn out) then some more P90X this evening! On my very first post I said I would post some pics of me in my boxers when this all started and then the finished product - I promise that I will still do it! I just need to get back into gear! I am so proud of KSTS for getting back into gear and working had and pushing through the pain last night - I hope she feels as good today as I do! Good luck all my peeps and please post comments! If anyone ever wants me to post something for them in the main body of the blog just e-mail it to me and I will insert it here:
                   "like this. and then you will have your words here. and you can tell me whatever...."

Good luck everyone!
