We are still here!!!

Hey everyone! It seems that we are all taking a break from writing in here! I guess Facebook has taken over. Bec and I are still working on loosing weight! Bec is doing great! She happily broke the 160 lb barrier that she was stuck at forever! She is down to around 155 lbs. She looks great! I am bouncing between 233 and 237 lbs. We are having a difficult time getting out and running on a regular basis. Things have been pretty crazy with work and all the other things that we have going on. We are planning on running in a race on the 14th of Nov. Bec is going to do a 10k and I am going to try and do the 1/2 marathon with Earl. He has been doing a lot better at training for it than I have. I am going to try and finish between 2 hrs and 15 min and 2 and a half hours. We will see. We are also getting very excited for the cruise. I bet if any of you still want to go you can get tickets still. Everyone keep going! You are all looking great and I know we feel much better. I still have a long way to go. You all are getting pretty close to were you want to be. I am still trying to get down to 190 lbs or so. Let's keep posting so I don't get discouraged. I don't want to think that I am the only one suffering through the holiday season! Thanks everyone!

Is anyone still working out?

I hope everyone is still working on getting "in shape". I have been pretty steady the past couple weeks. I had to sign up for another race to keep me motivated. I have taken a leap and signed up for a half-marathon on Nov 14th in Sacramento. I guess that is about 6 weekends away.

I ran the 10K loop around Linda on Saturday. I really needed some motivation around mile 4. I managed to come in at 56:41. I managed to run under 9 minutes for the first 4 miles, but then felt sluggish and took a couple walking breaks. Looking back, I should have just pushed through it.

Of course I still plan to attend Run to Feed the Hungry on Thanksgiving. My past runners will be feeding their faces on a cruise...getting fat!

Haven't really lost any weight lately...still hovering around 200 lbs.

Back on track

This week I started my work out routine. Monday I ran 3.1 miles. It was rough as it has been a while since I ran. Wed I went to the track and did some 200 and 400 meter work. Today I ran 4 miles. I wanted to run 5 but just wasn't feeling it after 4. Better to keep building it up.

Better to be stuck here. . .

Well I haven't done too great with my eating lately and it shows. I am going to be better and planning to go back off sweets the day after Labor Day and try to get 10 pounds off hopefully by Halloween! I weighed in this morning at 159.2 and have been stuck right around there for quite awhile (between 157 and 160)


But I keep telling myself - better to be stuck here...


Than to be back stuck here. . . Right!

Rhett hasn't been able to exercise this week, he stepped on a bee while we were boating the other night and his foot is swollen huge! He looks like he has elephantitous!! Poor Guy!

We are headed to my reunion today, last one of the summer! :(
(Not looking forward to going back to school, but being back on a schedule should help get me back on track!)

Back at it!!!

Hey everyone. We weighed in on Friday. I weighed 236.6 lbs and Bec weighed 163.2 lbs.
Bec is doing the P90X DVD's and says that they really hurt. She is doing the ab workout. I should try that!
I started running this morning again and hope to be out again tomorrow. I am going to try and run every morning and see how that works out. We will get this schedule thing down starting next week. School starts and so does seminary. Life will be hectic again. Summer is too short!!!!
We are still working on the eating good and not too much. That is going to be my battle for life I have come to realize! Rhett and Claudine, bring Rhett's dad with us on the cruise! We would love to have him there! It would be great to spend time with him too! Hope you guys can make it! Keep up the great work! You guys are all my inspiration. Have a great week.

The Cruise Is On!!!!

We are signed up for the cruise for the November 21 - 28th!!! We are very excited and hope that everyone can make it. Thanks Anita for working your magic with the cruise people!
As for the weight loss status, it is not going very well. Summer has not been very easy to stick with any sort of workout schedule and that is what helps me the most. The past couple of weeks my work has totally messed things up also. We are going to have to figure out how to manage things better and get back to running and exercise. It does make us feel so much better when we are keeping with our goals.
I weighed myself this morning and I was 239 lbs. That is going in the wrong direction!!!!! I am recommitting today! Back on track! Back on the wagon!!! Eating better and eating less and exercise! We will also be posting every week again. This will help us to be accountable! It is too easy to get complacent and just try to slide and HOPE that things will get better or at least not get too bad!!!
Thanks everyone for letting me vent today! We are still here and our goal is still the same, get IN-SHAPE!!!!

Need to get on track

I have been slacking big time. I have been maintaining that 199-201 weight for sometime now. I use to run at night, but it has been too hot and my schedule too full.

I need to get up early and get my run on! Not sure if Cameron and Ron are still paving the trail?
