Lovely

So on Sept 24th my son started having seizures...so now we are off and running on doctor appointments, testing and other not so fun stuff. Kevin is being such an awesome trooper and is acting as though nothing ever happened and nothing ever will, same old carefree now six year old. I LOVE THIS BOY!!!!!!
As for me, I feel as though I am barely keeping it together. Since breaking my foot the end of May I am lucky to go to kickboxing once or twice a week. Motivation seems to have flown out the window, food cravings and binge eating has taken over again and to top it all off, I have gained 5 lbs back! NOOOOO! So since it is now shortly after midnight on Sunday morning....I am trying to start new TODAY and get back on track. "I can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens me!" I CAN DO IT! All good and bad things seem to have to come to an end. So hopefully this is the end of the bad run for a while. A six month break should be MORE than enough. Anyone else deal with this trap before? Have you been successful getting back on the wagon? Where are you on your journey now and any words of encouragement?

New stuff!

So the last three months, since actively being on here I have fallen off the wagon. I haven't regained any weight, but haven't lost either. The dreaded "Platau" has found me I suppose. So I decided that I wanted to start getting myself ready for the Bolder Boulder that is about 9 months away now. In order to do this I resolved to getting up at five am (if I am not already up and gone to work) to jog along side dad (who is now living with me as of a month and a half ago). He is a bit of a speedwalker so it works well for a nice slow jog. This morning we did about thirteen blocks. I feel quite accomplished and satisfied with my work this morning because I felt as though I could have kept going a bit longer. Now I just need to get my eating under control again and I should start dropping some weight again. My new goal is to be down another 40 lbs by Christmas! That will take me to about 175! It is SO SO SO nice to think of actually being at that number. I think it will feel SO much better.

Rocky Road

Nope, not the ice cream...at least this time. Last couple of months have been so overwhelming that I am not sure that I am really living it, or rather just watching from the outside. Regardless, it has been a long road. I broke my foot the end of May, spent all of June out of kickboxing. Now I get to try to jump back in, although still swelling and painful. No money for medications so Asthma is starting to spiral out of control. All I can say is this is life. I must be able to teach myself and move forward. Stay on board and still run after my goals. If anyone has suggestions or sympathy, send them my way ;) Hope everyone is enjoying their summer and keeping active, healthy and productive.

GOD BLESS!

Weights and measures

1/1/10 weight= 263 lbs
1/16/10 weight= 253 lbs BMI =43.4 Fat % = 45 Bicep= 16 in Thigh= 26 3/4 Waist = 49.5 Hips = 46
2/20/10 weight = 241 lbs BMI = 41.3 Fat% = 42.5 Bicep = 16 in Thigh = 26 1/4 Waist = 49 1/4 Hips = 47
3/20/10 Weight = 234 lbs BMI= 39.9 Fat%= 43.1 Bicep = 15 in. Thigh = 27 in. Waist = 46.5 Hips = 44.5
4/3/10 Weight= 228 lbs


Notice some measurements seem to get bigger the second measurement check? Thigh for example is bigger now than it was the first two measurements. Not sure this is really me or the way I was measured. Fat % came from a machine, the same machine both times. Not sure how my fat % can increase when my weight decreases. VERY interesting. I am finding that two weeks of the month (that time of the month) I lose nothing and even maybe gain a pound, then it comes off the beginning of the third week. Curious to see if the trend continues. So long as I keep going down...I'll be happy!

Dar's Time To Get Healthy

So it is really no surprise, I am yet one of the millions of obese Americans running around lying to people about how I feel about myself and most importantly, to myself about how I feel. It is now, the last three months, that I have realized some truth to my life and decided to take charge. Anyone crazy enough to read my thoughts or crazier yet...join me on my journey, may God be with you as he is with ME! As I get going here, I will list where I started, where I am going and how I will get there. I hope this information will be helpful to someone else and or even slightly inspiring to at least one person who, like me, has decided it is time to get healthy.
