Red Ribbon Ride Time to hit 270 pass those calories on the left =)




Sorry everyone it's been a while since I posted. I have been having some weight troubles. Right after I hit 275 I stopped losing and put on 4 pounds that I have been fighting lose. I am back at 277 today. My goal is still 270 by June. I have been realizing how hard it is going to be to keep the weight off. I have been heavy for so much of my life that my body tends to revert to gaining and eating to much. The last 3 weeks I have been working to much and not watching my calories as I should be. 


On the side of being a dad and my weight I was doing well the first 4 weeks after having the baby then my diet and exercise crashed as not sleeping enough cought up with me. I was also drinking way to much coffee to stay awake at night and I am working on cutting that out.

I know I need to kick up the weight loss a notch and really track everything I put in my mouth.  I need to start splitting my workouts into day and night just incase I don't get time to get in a full hour workout.

I am still in Gladiator and Boxing at the Y and have really started to hit the trails. That's part of why I have not been posting as much. I forgot over the winter how much time you can spend on a bike and not even know it. I am still playing dodge ball every Friday, at least for the next 3 weeks until it's over for the summer. I am kicking around getting into P90X or joining the St.Louis Park Crossfit. My problem is I have a health club membership that I am not going to give up and I have all the gear and weights at home that I need to train. What I really need is someone who want to come train with me at home. Or a group of people. Let me know if you want to =)

Today I pledge to watch what I eat and make it more of a big deal if I go off my diet. I will hit 270 this summer. Keep up the good workouts!
