Another Week Sweets Free!!!!

I made it another week without sweets! It's still very hard, especially at school and parties. We had 2 birthday parties this week and I passed up cake for a glass of water! WHAT THE ?!*@#! Now that is insanity right there!?!!?!! But it has been paying off and I think I am going to keep at it as long as it keeps working (or until I cave in to something really good!) Friday morning I weighed in at 176.8 Yeah!!!! It is so nice to see those numbers coming down!!
It has gotten really cold here again so I haven't been running outside, I really need to get ready for the run in May! It snowed this last week and there is snow in the forecast for the next few days. Gotta love Idaho Springtime!
We hope to be able to cruise!!! (Hoping the $ is there) Where are you thinking about going? We would rather go when it's cold here and go someplace warm and wonderful, rather than go when it's hot here and hot as you know where there. What cruises are you looking at, where, what cruise line, etc. There is a lady in my ward that is a travel agent I can talk to about it.

Still working!

Hi all it is me Rebecca! I know it has been to long. I am so lucky to have Cameron once again he is my inspiration too! Cameron is looking SO GREAT! he is 40 pounds down from the start of all this last Aug!

He was bummed to go back over the 240 mark by a bit. he is 242!
And I was bummed to go back over the 160 mark Again! I'm at 162 AGAIN!
We are just plateaued at these weight's or something. We may have to work a bit harder. We have been keeping up with running 3 days walking 2. We are hoping to do a 10K on May 16Th. We are planning on that and hopefully we will be down a few pounds and in better shape by then.

We are PLANNING THE CRUISE! It will happen. if you have a preference on dates this coming summer give us a shout out. we are looking at late July early Aug. What do you all think???????????? So GET YOUR PASSPORTS EVERYONE!!!
and Get your butt's moving with us. Thanks for the support it is helping us so much to have all of you to check into! DON'T GIVE UP, any exercise is better than nothing at all!!
HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE! CANT WAIT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!

Baby Steps

So I'm trying not to get frustrated, this is a slow process and I am all about things being quick! I guess the slow turtle was the one who won the race though right! I weighed in Friday at 180.2
I had a little bite of a cookie, but it wasn't that great so I didn't eat anymore. Other than that, no sweets! I did have a little too much to eat Friday night, we went out to a Mexican place we have never been to before and it was awesome! I've been able to run outside a few times, the weather has been pretty nice, but it has turned cold today and will be most of the week. :(
Over and Out!

Visiting An Old Friend! (Crap!!!!!)

Well not a good day to be doing this, but to stay with my schedule!

My weigh-in for today was 240.2 lbs.

I really didn't like seeing that! Oh well, now I can work really hard this week to get back where I should be.

Good luck all!

Cameron

P.S. Bec said that I needed to explain the "Old Friend" part. The old friend is the 240 lb mark and it is not a welcomed friend!

Don't Be Shocked

Okay, don't be too shocked, two posts in a row! I am on a roll! We have had a cold at our house, which aren't colds the absolute worst! I have had it for about a week, and yesturday Rhett came home with a stuffy nose and sneezed his head off this morning. I feel so bad for passing it on to him! I'm sure I picked it up at the school! Anyhow we have continued to exercise everyday even though we can hardly breath through our noses! I have continued to stay away from sweets, almost 2 weeks now. I have never in my entire life done that! It seems when you are trying to stay away from sweets, they are around even more!!
Anyhow I weighed in this morning at 181.4
Yeah! Progress at last!
Rhett weighed in at 207 this week, he has been stuck there for awhile.
Have a good weekend!

YAHOO!!!!!!!!

Finally!
I know you may be thinking that I reached my goal but that is not the case. The weigh-in was good today though.

Cameron - 238.8 lbs

I finally got below 240 lbs! It seemed like it would never happen. It is so frustrating sometimes.

Bec - Is not here. She is coming back tonight from her Utah trip so she can update her info. I will tell you that she is looking very good!

Hey Todd! I tried on the speedo and I think I better keep working out. Not quite there yet! Everyone keep up the great work. Post, Post, Post! It really does help! Have a great week!

Cameron

Hello From Idaho!

Wow, I haven't posted since January...it's already March! Cameron gave me a bad time on our blog for not posting on here. But as I have said in the past it is hard to write anything when things seem to be about the same. I fell off the wagon...yes, again. I went to the doctor and he had a bunch of tests run and I didn't exercise much during that time and pretty much ate like crap! I figured if they found something wrong with me I would deal with it all later. Well all tests came back normal.... I had an insulin resistance test (both my sisters are insulin resistant and my mom is a type 2 diabetic). The test is if your number is below 4 you are insulin resistant, or above 6 you are normal. Mine is 5.4 so I'm not insulin resistant, but I'm not normal either. The doctor says with this kind of number we recommend diet and exercise.... REALLY... YA THINK! I started crying telling him how hard I have been working out and trying to do good on my eating, but lose nothing so then I eat a bag of cookies! I think he thought I was a retard, but he was very nice and told me he didn't know what I was so worried about, that I'm not fat :) (how nice of him huh?) Anyhow, he gave me a diet plan and lots of encouragement. That was last week, and I have been doing so much better. I made it to the gym 6 days this week, and went back to my weight lifting class yesturday (I wasn't getting it done at home) And I haven't had sugar since Monday (I decided maybe I will try Bec's approach). Yesturday I weighed in at 183.8 which I am excited about. I weighed in at 187.0 last week. Oh and I weighed less on my doctor's scale than our stupid digital scale that I still hate!!!

I'm not sure where Rhett is at, probably about the same. I will make sure to get his numbers for next week. He has been really good at working out, has lifted weights a little, but says he needs to do more. I'm sure he will lose more as I am trying to eat better and not buying the crap at the grocery store, and trying to fix healthier dinners.

We are running a 5k on May 16th so it's onward and upward...no looking back!

Looking to get back in the swing of things

Well I haven't posted in forever! I haven't actually been doing much exercising either. I have been slammed at work the past couple weeks with operating meeting. I did weigh myself the other day. Actually I weigh myself pretty much everyday. That is a way I keep myself disciplined. I fluctuate as of late between 207.2 and 207.8. Feeling good about breaking the 208 mark and keeping myself below 210 for sometime now. It seemed a few weeks ago that I would weight between 210 and 212 from day to day. My next goal is 200. I don't know if I will be able to post my official weight on Monday as I will be in the OC for a meeting. If not, I will post Tuesday. Good luck.

Here We Are!

Hey Everyone! Another week has past and we are half way through another. Sorry it has taken me so long to get to this.

Results from Monday:

Bec - 160.2 lbs

Bec is finally seeing the results of her sacrifice(no sugar for the month of Feb.) on the scale. She looks great and she says her clothes are fitting better all the time. I thought they fit good anyway!

Cameron - 242.8 lbs

I am going in the right direction again. It seems I get hung up as I get closer to say 240. We just have to keep going!

I will keep your advise in mind Todd. I know it won't be too flattering to showing up in that speedo with a bad case of the "dunlap" disease. Great job on getting down again. Keep up with the exercise. I have started doing stomach crunches and leg lifts as well as push-ups. We are also running in the mornings more regularly again. It has taken us awhile to get back into the swing of things since Christmas break.

Good luck everyone!
Cameron & Bec

Todd Is Back!

Hey guys, I missed logging the weigh in last week but I went up to 240.5 due to a dinner with a Polynesian family. Three plates of food did me in. They kept telling me they would be offended if I didn't eat more.
Tuesday I weighed in at 237.5 lbs. I was glad to see that. I'm down 20.5 lbs since 12/17/08 when I peaked at 258 lbs. The 20 lbs it great but it is only getting back to my average weight over the last few years. : ( So far I still haven't done much for exercise besides ride an exercise bike a few times a week. However tonight I plan on getting the serious exercise going so I can get way below the 240 lb threshold. Well I'm off to workout. See you next week.

Cameron get going because I don't want to see any flab hanging over your speedo when we are on the cruise. I guarantee that you will drive the 75 and older fe/males wild if you look good in your speedo. A tan leathery skin and shaved legs will only add bonus points.

Todd
