Weigh In #10 - Late to the party
Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 10:57AM Weighed in the other morning, but haven't had a chance to come post yet. Bit under the weather to start the week. Feeling a bit better as the week has gone on.
Diet was still ugly, had people over for the Saints game which has been an exciting time for us down here. 1 win away from the first Super Bowl appearance in the history of the city. Also had a few other things to attend so it's been just an ugly diet.
That said I still managed to keep things mostly under control during the week and that got me down another 3lbs and back into the 330's. Upper 330's but still.
Another big Saints game on the horizon likely means another ugly weekend. I expect my diet to improve a good bit once these large temptations are removed (which hopefully won't be until after the Super Bowl).
I've also had a set back in exercise. Both knees are now hurting. One knee is very tight and hurts when I bend it too far, so I've had to keep it limited in movement. The other one is back to locking up a little when used a lot. So it looks like my knees are going to end my exercise again for a bit.
I think the plan at this point has to be to get past all this football, clean up the diet, and get out of the 300's so my knees aren't supporting so much weight each day. All that weight is more wear and tear.
Should be going in for my check up with the doctor in a few weeks as well, so I'll get his opinion on this as well.
For now, it's more of the same. We'll keep moving at this slow and steady pace and hopefully at some point in the coming weeks I'll be able to kick this into a different gear.

Stick with it dude, and congrats to your Saints. I freaking hate the colts, so I'm pulling for N.O.
Get out of the 330's, just like you got out of the 340's...one pound at a time.

Sorry to hear about your knees. That can definitely be a tough obstacle for exercising. Do you have any weights? I was thinking of starting a weight lifting challenge. I'm in on on dailyburn, but it's full of crazy heavy lifting people. I was thinking one for us slightly more sane fellows.
Just a pair of 12lb free weights. I'll be getting back to trying to lose weight here soon. I'm just going to work on diet for a while and very moderate exercise in hopes that once I can drop 30-40lbs that I can ramp up the exercise since there will be less wear and tear on my joints.
