gooooooooooood morning...looks like im behind on my journal...

goooooooood morning...just couldnt seem to get outta bed for a morning bike ride...so just layed in bed till 6am...an when i did finally get up..it was raining...so guess it all worked out for the best...my plans later today was to cut grass..guess thats on hold as well...so...might have to get a stationary bike workout today just to keep motivated...weight is up a tad from yesterday but figured its just water weight that i havnt lost in the bathroom yet today...not to worried about it...was hoping to be down to 300 by the end of the month, but doesnt look like that will happen...but i have a good start on it for next month...and its ok...i kno that even though im still big, that the flab is slowly working off...just takes time an being focused and determined to get it off...to many years of wearing it means its gonna take longer to wear it off...well...gonna get up an head out to ride that bike to no where for 40 min...have a greatttttttt day everyone...

gooooooood morning back from a 10.18 mile ride..was shootin for 10.25...but guess i didnt ride far enough...now i kno where i should of rode to...lol...

goooooood morning eveyrone...the plan yesterday was to take the day off from exercise an detox...might as well worked out an ate like a pig..everything looked good that i stuck in my mouth...so back at it today working out an eating healthier...weight is up some but i did have some pretzels yesterday something i dont normally have, and a small bag of popcorn as well...guess i was craving salt...so back at the ole grind today and back on track once again...much cooler here this morning ...in the upper 50s...so might be puttin on sweats this morning to do my mornng bike ride...hate this time of year when your not sure how to dress when you are getting ready to head out for an hour of outside exercise...you hate to wear to much and yet you need to dress warm enough to stay warm....well guess i need to get up an moving...even though the thought of layin back down does sound liek a greatttttt idea...lol...have a greatttttttt day...

goooooooood morning...just couldnt get woke up this morning an bed just felt to good to get out of...so took the day off from a morning bike ride and since i did...decided it would be a great day to detox as well...so...its water time again...lol...

goooooooooooooood morning...back from a 8.23 mile bike ride...didnt plan on doing a 10 mile ride today..do a few lower days an then do another 10 mile ride mabye on sunday if i dont take that day off to rest...about run over a cat today on my bike..it was crossin the road watching the street cleaner and run into the front tire..i was hissing an slowing down thinkin come on cat...look where you are gooing....when it run into the front tire..it woke up..an headed back the other way...first cat thats about got run over by me...there are always squirrels on the road or crossing that i think if i only had a horn to scare em...lol..

goooooooooooood mornin everyone...well stepped it up alittle more today...mapped out my route on a site called map my ride...i did 10.18 miles this morning..yes i could tell it was an increase...but wow...i did it...sometimes i just amaze myslf... giving that bike a good workout on my morning bike rides around town...

own last night...that was all she wrote...felt like i had to pry my eyes open this morning...just wasnt ready to wake up but knew i had to get up an get that morning bike ride over with...have been doing 7.8 miles and want to keep adding to it...aired up the tires yesterday...was only riding on 20 pounds of air...but didnt know thats all that was in there until i checked...figured it only needed a pound or 2...lol...well hopefully they will hold the other 15 i put in...today is one of the grocery store days...i use to dread going to the store cause everything wanted to jump into my cart...but now when i go...im only thinkin healthy pickings...i do occasionally get something i wouldnt normally get...but not as often as i use to...i think as you continue on this long journey of changing the way you look at food you learn what you can and cant have...but it does take time...i do still eat cookies, or ice cream but less portion sizes then i once did...one or 2 cookies and im good to go for several hours or the day...(depends on the taste of the cookie)...lol...im still addicted to chocolate...and thats ok..i kno i can only have so much...ice cream...instead of getting a bowl of ice cream i just get a fork out an get me a bite or 2...and thats all i need...a carton actually lasts 2 weeks now...i can remember when 3-4 days and it would be gone...so over time habits are changing for the better...day by day.. its getting better..an im getting healthier...well...need to get up an dressed and ready for a morning bike ride...65 here this morning..so will be puttin on a hoodie...to take the chill off...i needed one yesterday, but didnt realize it till after the first block...lol...well ...HAVE A GREATTTTTTTT DAY !!!...keep that body guessin whats in store for it thru out the day...change your regular exercise habits...your body needs a challenge from day to day to make it work harder..

gooooooooood mornin everyone...just got done eating breakfast and in about an hour will be headed out for a morning bike ride..then later the plan is to cut grass...if it hadnt rained the other day then i probably wouldnt be cuttin grass...just been so hot an humid...but the temps are coming down this week...even a few days of waking up to 50s...guess that means fall is gettin closer...have seen alot of leaves already falling in the neighbors yards...so that means raking the leaves in a few weeks...more exercise...lol...already been on the scales and hoping to show a loss again soon...for a change im seeing results and hard not to be excited about seeing the light at the end of the tunnel...finally gettin close to a mini goal that i set several months ago...and im ready to reset it and head to another mini goal...well...have a GREATTTTTTTTTTTT DAY... and keep tabs on your eating and exercise...if its not comin off, just tweak your food menu...or change the exercise routine...it helps...

goooooood morning did a detox yesterday just to get some of the water weight off..i knew that a detox would work wonders...i quit eating at 3pm most days...so when i get up at 5am...i already have half of my detox over with...so it seems easier...i lost 7 pounds in water weight yesterday...i weighed at 3 when i quit eating an drinkin water...and every hour after i weighed in...off it came...so todays plan is to track the carbs better...and see if that helps to burn more off...

its raining for a change...started at 130 am..an is still raining...grass and plants are dancin in the rain...goood morning everyone...guess its not bike ride again today but i am going to go out an get on the stationary bike an do a 40 min workout on it...better then nothin...after the rain then its suppose to be another hot one again...so will just have to wait an see if it gets to hot to get on the stationary bike again an do any extra workouts...had planned on going for a morning bike ride even with the rain as it was a light rain, but then after looking on the internet an seeing that its also a hard rain mixed in...guess i better play it safe an walk out an get on the stationary bike...weight is still up an i kno what it is ...i just dont kno how to fix it...i kno its water weight...plain and simple...cause my salt intake is in better numbers then it has been...o well...when its time the weight will be down again...hopefully doing a detox today since its raining, will help some...well...im off to get a few things done, then outside to get a morning workout over with...have a great one...

change of pace...goooood morning everyone...woke up this morning still alittle stiff an sore in my back so decided to do a morning walk instead...took a couple of tylnols and headed out...half way thru my walk i was thinkin a bike ride might of been faster and easier...but i finally got my 2.5 mile walk over an back home...its humid again...nothing new...lol...gonna pull 2 pepper plants, tired of waiting on them to do something..i think they are about done for the year anyways...an pull on ot the mator plants its still growing like a weed, but no flowers...so might as well pull it an clean up around it..still have the halbanero peppers growin like weeds...waiting on them to turn red ...lest 20 or so of them on plant..an have several green mators on the other mator plant...kind want to do a bike ride..but not sure if that will happen today...weight is still up alittle...but weigh in is on sunday so mabye by then it will head down again...will i meet my goal on sunday of 300 i just dont kno...i had really thought i would...but picking a day of being down to a certain weight is just unpreditable anymore...so who knows...all i can do is my best an keep at it...have a greatttttttt day everyone....

goooooood mornin everyone...decided to take a day off from riding the bike...pulled my back yesterday alittle...and just layed around on heating pad off an on most of the day yesterday...its much better today, but decided just to take it off...havnt had a day off since saturday so...will do my body good to rest today...should make tomows ride faster...so since im taking the day off decided to do a detox today as well...one thing about doing the detox...i already have a head start on it since i havent ate since 3 pm yesterday...tummy is rumblin..but i dont listen...lol...it will get over it...once it knows i have control over when it eats...probably give in about noon...as thats about when i usually eat when im on a detox...well since im not going to ride the bike this morning...not sure what im gonna do to keep my mine occupied...guess i could always lay back down an just rest...lol...have a greatttttttttt one...

goooooooooood morning everyone...just getting home from my morning bike ride...i think my body is suffering from change of weather...its taking longer to get daylight and harder to get up outta bed to do my workouts...but i did it...lol...i have noticed i am more tired lately by noon so gonna try an cut down on the carbs today..see if that helps give me alittle more energy thru out the day...been takin a nap for an hour each day..something that just lately has become an afternoon habit...and im still sleepin my 8 at night as well...well...gonna go an work on my food menu for the day...see what i can tweak to cut the carbs some...have a greatttttttt one...much cooler here for the last 3 days...lots of clouds, but no rain to speak of yet...

gooooooood morning everyone...was just so hard to get outta bed this morning an do my morning bike ride...i woke up before the alarm clock, but just layed there and thought about taking it off...finally 30 minutes before i usually go i got dressed and ate..an hurried out the door...guess im still tired from cuttin the grass yesterday...sun had pretty well cooked it, but it still needed to be cut for the week and trimmed...was a decent day yesterday..humidity was almost down to 0 for a change...so made being outside bearable...todays store day and going to the store an gettin only whats on the list is so much easier now then it once was...was alot cooler again this morning...down in the 60s...makes it hard to decide what to wear when you first go out...so i wore a hoodie, but half way thru my ride..i was thinking...i should take this off...but didnt and sweated out all the food an water i took in yesterday...seems like the days i spend out in the sun workin on the yard, i tend to eat more salty things...yes i do sweat alot..an im sure its just my bodys way of catchin up, but geeez...just means the weight goes up an down for a few days while i try to get back into the right routine again...well ...need to get up an dressed again...might go out an do a 40 min ride on the stationary bike since its cooler this morning...get back into that habit since the humidity is down for a change..then its off to the store to get more bananas to stick back into a brown paper bag and put em back in the fridge...the one i had this morning with my oatmeal..was still green from last tuesday...amazing huh...have a greattttttttt one....

goooooooood morning...shorter ride this morning...had things to do early...but was a nice ride..almost a cold ride at 71 degrees...first block was like brrrrr...but soon warmed up on my ride...

gooooooooood  morning...woke up to lightening again this morning but by time time i got ready to do a morning bike ride...it was outta the area...so went for a 7-8 mile ride...always hard to go out in the morning...but always so glad when the workout is over...now for a little rest an then up an moving again...

ive been trying the ole brown bag with bananas in it in the fridge...well it does work...the bananas i bout on tuesday are still green like they was when i bout em and still hard like green bananas are...so it does work...something that i will start doing all the time...as i do hate soft bananas after a few days...the idea of it all is to keep them in a brown bag, and outta the sunlight...by puttin them in the fridge...goooooooooood saturday morning...waking up to 82 with a heat index of 87...weather map shows rain along with lightening , but guess its not here yet...we can use a slow rain...plants and grass are showin signs of not enough water...had planned on getting in some morning exercise on the bike today...but if its gonna rain i might just go ahead an do a detox...for a change...since i havent ate anything since 4pm...and its 430am...im half way thru my 24 hour detox...weight is still up some, but its creepin back down so now im happy to see that again...had planned on doing a morning bike ride cause i knew that would help it show on the scales, but doing a detox will help as well...well...guess i might as well just go back to bed..an listen to the rain...have a greattttttt one everyone....
