My Third Year Weight Losing Anniversary Is Rapidly Approaching.
Hello weight losing fans...
Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 189.2-pounds.
I was looking at the left side of my blog page and it dawned on me that my effort to conquer my obesity has now been almost three years in the works. The Anniversary date is rapidly approaching.
My first year began in the fall of 2006 when I found myself desperately wanting to lose weight, and rid myself of this unwieldy body of fat. At that time I was tipping the weight scale at around 240 pounds. I had actually lost weight in prior years and then regained all but 20 of those lost pounds.
I like so many people have in the past lost weight only to regain that weight. Therefore I have found myself more frustrated than I was before.
This weight loss season has been different. In my first year that started in 2006, I managed to lose 60-pounds. I managed to keep that weight off for about another year when I began to regain pounds.
My year of doom began in 2009. (I think it's the direct result of my mental anguish over having seen this nation elect President Barack Hussein Obama, who is a pure Marxist, as the President of the United States.)
I started losing it in the summer of 2009. When having wanted to push for my last 20-pounds of weight loss, I began to experiment with my diet. I started trying again the Doctor Atkins' Diet.
Oh boy, was that a mistake.
As a result I began to crave sweets like crazy. This of course is contrary to what they say. GEE, I must be abnormal, or something. Oh, yes let's not forget the real crux of the problem; Exercise !
At the insistence of someone I began a regular regiment of jogging. I actually stuck with it for about a month until I got a back spasm that laid me up for half a day in bed trying to recover.
As a result of my increased excursion, and diet change my appetite became overwhelming. I was hungry all of the time. I found myself wanting to eat more. Now, I did not go out and binge my food. But, I did add in enough calories so that my weight began to rise.
Well, my weight climbed throughout the summer, 185, 190, 198 up to almost 200 pounds. Oh boy, I thought this is ridiculous. (And, contrary to what some friend of mine thought, I did not go into some deep depression over my weight gain.) Now, even though I wasn't dutifully reporting to my blog site my progress, I was still writing all of my food consumption down, and weighing myself just about every day.
Well, I wrote all that to conclude with this. I never did give up my "Battle With The Bulge." I am still aware of what's going on with my weight every day. I am not so deeply depressed about this set back. Whoopee... I say. I did not regain that 60-pounds.
Oh and for those of you who did see some weird stuff on the blog, the person who wrote that is dead now. Ha, Ha, Ha... No, I laughed when I saw it all. It was some one's practical joke.
But, it did get me a Donut Award from a mischievous prankster who was delighting in my failure.
How about you though? What are you going through. I know that I haven't written much lately about my weight. It's mostly because I have run out of things to say. I don't pay much attention to any weight loss sights. That's why I rarely report on them. I think that most weight lose programs are a bunch of Bull S..... !
No one, I mean no one, has to struggle with the cravings that I have. No one, no one, is going to struggle with the cravings that you will. In the end, to lose weight, it takes a sheer will power that most people don't have. It takes even more will power to keep that weight off.
I ate early this morning. I had my bowl of Oatmeal for breakfast. Now, here it is four hours later, and I am absolutely dieing of hunger. I am starved.
But, I know, if I am ever going to get back to 180-pounds. I have to tough it out. Yep, you will too. It's not easy to lose weight, and keep it off. It's just not.

Do Parents Help Build Those Bad Eating Habits?
Hello weight losing fans....
Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 191.2-pounds.
Today as I was approaching the library, I saw a very small child walking with a man. In this child's hands was a fairly large bag of Frito's Corn Chips. The little child was reaching in grabbing out chips and walking along as if this exercise was second nature to her. This child was a toddler. And the bag of chips she was carrying was half again as large as she was.
I was simply amazed at the dexterity of this child carrying a big bag of chips, walking along, eating, and then not dumping them as she went along.
I was also amazed that the bone headed man that was walking with the child was allowing her to consume Chips for a snack. I was thinking "Oh she's so young to learn to eat like this." But, this is what so many parents are doing these days. They never stop to think about the poor eating habits that they are allowing their children to develop. This happened to be a little black girl.
If you have ever paid attention; obesity is almost 50 percent in the black community. It's far worse than in any other "ethnicity" of people.
I can only imagine what this child will look like in 20 years. Will she be fat like so many black children that I have seen? I don't know. It makes me wonder though.
How about you? Are you having a hard time breaking those habits that caused you to gain unwanted pounds? I don't know.
If you are like me, then you have one heck of a time keeping your sticky fingers off of those snack foods; especially the sweets. (I saw a chocolate bar at the check-out counter the other night and then bought it on impulse.)
I am working to re-lose 10 pounds. It's so hard to do. I get so incredibly hungry. I have been working some unbelievably wacky hours as of late. This makes the matter even worse. It's hard to regulate my food. Ugh....

My Weight Is Up Some

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 193.4-pounds.
I guess jogging really doesn't get those pounds off.

It's Diet And Exercise..... So The Small Print Says
See what my Smarty Pants Friend Sent...?Hello weight losing fans...
Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 190.6-pounds.
I just got done doing a 4-mile non-stop jog down the Wheaton Bike Path. My time was a total of 51:37 minus about 4 minutes waiting for the traffic lights at Roosevelt Road to change. It was busy today with people who were jogging, and riding bikes. I kept having to dodge people. Something that was neat was there were jugs of water along the path with little cups for people to get drinks.
This was my second day jogging 4-miles non-stop. I am simply amazed that I did that. I told a friend of mine at the beginning of the summer that I never would jog 4-miles ever again in my life. I was convinced my knees, and hip joints would never endure the strain. Surprise, Surprise... so far they have.
In the beginning of the summer I was having lower back pain, and the strain was too much for me to continue jogging even a little bit. So, I quit the jogging and embarked upon a light regimen of morning exercise before I would leave for work. It wasn't a lot, but I began to condition those muscles that were too weak to endure the jogging. I guess it helped; so far, so good, I guess.
As I was jogging down the path, I couldn't help but notice the young boys running by with their shirts off. These kids were thin, and fit looking. I was beginning to feel the mental pain of the yesterdays when I used to be so thin, and I could run a 6-minute mile.
Those days are gone. Oh, bummer... As I wrote, I am amazed that I did this. Three years ago my knees were destroyed, my hip joints burned. I never could have attempted even a 1-mile jog.
All that said, I am glad that I could do this much. However, for those of you who think that this is a magic remedy to lose weight, forget it. All this jogging and exercise does is condition the body. I still have to be vigilant with my food consumption.
I have written time, and time again in the past that it's the amount of food eaten that puts on those extra pounds. It's those calories that are over and above our daily needs that puts on the pounds. At my age, it doesn't take to many extra calories to get me into trouble.
Time and time again I have written about those little messages at the bottom of the infomercial for exercise equipment: These results are not the same for all persons. For best results exercise must be followed with a regimen of diet and exercise.
So, if you think that just because I went out and jogged for this long, I can go out and pig out. Forget it, that's wrong headed thinking.
Nope, I still count the calories. I still write everything down. During the beginning of the summer I did some exercise. I had to stop the jogging. You know what, I didn't lose one pound because of the exercise I was doing. It didn't push me back below 190-pounds. I actually started gaining weight. So, don't think exercise is going get all that fat off.
Nope, you'll have to restrict those calories to get results.

Another Jump Up In The Weight...It Makes No Sense
Hello weight losing fans...
Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 197.4-pounds.
I honestly cannot tell you why this happened.
Yesterday I had a cut of Oatmeal yesterday (dry measured.) I had a breaded chicken breast that was fried. I ate raisins and and watermelon. That was all I ate yesteday, yet me weight jumped up to 197.4-pounds?
I am eating the same kind of food that got me down to 190-pounds just recently. Only, it's not working this time. My weight is climbing.

No Real Good Reason For This Weight Jump....
Hello weight losing fans...
Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 194.6-pounds.
I did not expect this. I have been keeping my calorie count consistent. I have kept my food consumption low. I have avoided sweet drinks. Yet, this morning I awoke to see this odd spike in my weight.
Again I am scratching my head and asking, "What happened?"
Oh well, there isn't much I can do.
Bye for now...
