This has been a challenging week.Today at WW 2lbs up. I had not a good week eating wise and exercising wise.I feel this time of the year my body goes into hibernation. All I want to do is eat and sleep. This is something I cope with every year at this time . Who wants to walk on the treadmill after a good dinner and the fireplace is burning. But I have to motivate myself . I still have a lot of paintng to do. I hope next week will be better.

Today Calem and I had the oppertunity to take a long walk. It was dry after a couple of days of heavy rain. No running yet since I am still somewhat sore. Tomorrow big plans for some more painting And hopefull some more execise .Diet wise not too bad Saturday will tell

My shins and quads are still killing me so a resting day today.Not too bad on food today. Hopefully I am up to it tomorrow. Lots of cooking but fortunately a little tasting only.

I survived christmas and I exercised alot. We went to my wife sister who is a exerciser . on christmas day at ten o clock she said to me lets go for a short walk.It was a good hour walk
in hilly terrain. It was nice just after a rain storm and it was very brisk.I worked up a sweat because she lives on top of a hill. On monday we walked with Calem 90 minutes. This was according to her the short loop. My shins and quads are killing me but it feels good. Calem enjoyed it too since he had not going out the house for a couple of days due to rain .I hope to continue the trend for the rest of the week

I omitted to write yesterday because of a party but on the other hand I exercised for half an hour.

Today I went to weightwatchers and I gained 0.2 lbs Not bad considering all the cookies people brought and I had to eat. I hope to maintain this week and to my weightloss partner Lynda next year w are gonna do it in remembrance of Laurianne. It tells me also how important dieting is I believe sometimes more important then exercising. I wish all my blog readers a Happy holidays

I Finally did it. I logged 30 minutes including a warm up. I did 10 minutes of walking afterwards for a cooldown. It lifted my spirits my diet is reasonable except for the homemade cookies.I exercised a total of 38 minutes. Tommorow hopefully will exercise again. Feet don"t fail me

Another day of painting and cookies. To round things off we also spend most of the day
shopping wich was necesary. Tomorrow I hope to work out a little more. Maybe things are not as hectic

The last two days I refer to as paint till you faint. I have done a lot of scraping and painting. We are fixing up the extra room. I also walked two miles yesterday after I brought the car to the shop. Maybe tomorrow I try to jog again on the treadmill. My mood has been down the last couple of days. But tomorrow hopefully the sun will shine again.

Today I went to a friend christmas party. Needles to say after the champagne and the food, you could imagine that exercise is on the back burner. Tonight I am sitting behind the computer and tomorrow I will try to make exercise a first priority Needles to say I went a little over my points.

the rest of the day has been crap.It is cold rainy and I have been feeling lazy So no exercise today. Tommorow maybe a better day.I will work on it. And try to start earlier .

THE TRAIN OF FAILURE USUALLY RUNS ON THE TRACK OF LAZINESS

Today was my weighin day at weightwatchers .I gained 0.4lbs this week not bad considering having food friends over the last two days. I haven"t exercised today
but will be shortly. It is a very difficult time of the year and it is also loaded with
stress but I will prevail. I am having a hard time drinking water especially in the winter time but I am gonna try herbal teas.I will try again to blog again later on my exercise and points results.

Today was a difficult day .We had stil out food loving friends over. I blew it today
majorly.I was unable to jog today on the treadmill but was able to work in a 45 minute walk with Calem. This was very enjoyable.I hope tommorow will be better. Weightwatchers scale please be kind to me.

Today was a challenging day I really had to push myself to do 25 minutes .I did a weightloss interval program. I kind of overate due to stress .Overall it was a day of depression and stress.We also had visitors today who like to eat

tommorow will hopefuul be a more succesfull full day

Today I started my exercise regiment as promised to myself .I did not feel much like exercising due to feeling of being down in the dumps.I climbed on my treadmill anyway and did a regiment of a half hour jogging a very slow pace. I would call it slogging.I slogt 4 minutes and walked one it came out as
5 minutes warm up
30 minutes jogging 4minutes jogging and 1 minute walking
10 minutes cool down
distant 2.64 miles
total time 45 minutes
max heart rate 150
total calories 264
I stayed well within my weightwatchers points limit today
To go back to my being down in the dumps the exercise lifted my spirits
After 2 months not exercising I was happy with the amount of jogging I was able to do

The purpose of my blog will be to write down my daily exercises and since I am a weight
watchers member I will write down the points consumed for that day. Since I just flew back from Indiana and are severely jet lagged I will start with my exercise blog tomorrow. My weighin day is saturday and I will start recording my consumption of points on saturday. It is off this week due to my visit to Indiana but I will journal
for myself and watch my intake. I hope this blog will be helpfull in my journey.Iwill also blog on my progress or lack of it

My decision to start this blog comes from a life long struggle with weight and exercise. I lost my youngest daughter to lung cancer recently and my weight loss journey and fitness went to pots
I hope with a daily blog to get back on track again. My fitness has been running and I hope At one point to run a marathon in honor of my daughter. Running a marathon has been a lifelong dream anyway. At this moment I have been lazy and feeling sorry for myself again I hope with this blog to get on track again.
