Somethings gotta give…

Well let me tell you I missed last weeks blog. I am sure you didn’t care either way but it’s been a hellish month at the Sicilia ranch. I was at 49 pounds lost on March 31st. I am now at 56.4. Ive lost maybe 5 pounds this whole month. And it’s really freaking frustrating. 90% of everything that goes in my mouth is high protein. I am still not drinking sugared drinks. I am doing my thing. I go to boot camp at least 4 days a week. I walk and make sure I hit my activity goal everyday. Something has to give.

There are 4 weeks tilll Memorial Day. I had really in my head hoped to have been at 70 pounds lost by then. Even though my goal of losing 100 pounds really isn’t up until January 6 of 2015. I never dreamed I’d be working this hard. But I am and I won’t stop. Something will click. Something will change. I’ve had a few drinks… Now I am going to cut even that out for the next two weeks to see what happens. Something’s gotta give.

a few days ago I hit 100 straight days of reaching my activity goals. I still can’t believe that I did it. 100 straight days. Me!

It’s 4 weeks till Memorial Day. I am at 356.8 this morning. 54 pounds lost. I am going to shoot for a 15 pound goal. Memorial Day Thursday I’d like to be. Screw it. Let’s work even harder for something and see how close we can get. FTW!

Any ideas? Suggestions? Send them my way!

Well 14 days into April the only showers that are really happening are my tears when I get on the scale. And no I am not crying. I am a man 🙂 But I have not lost anything in the last 14 days and I have been working very hard.

I went to bootcamp 5 days straight last week. I feel stronger and much more confident. So for the last few blogs I have been preaching the same thing that the trainers at boot camp told me today. EAT MORE! My body is in shut down mode. The thing is hoarding fat on me. Can someone please tell it to let go?

I sent both trainers a note this morning. They are both great guys. One wrote back with a few ideas.. the other wrote back to eat 500-700 more calories at least 2x a week. The truth is that it’s very hard for me to get to the 2500 calories eating healthy. But I will try. Bigger breakfasts and more food every two hours.

So I will do boot camp a few days this week… I’ll try and eat more and just keep doing what I am doing. Something has to give right?

My 3xl WCU soccer shirt that did not fit when I bought it in September.

You can’t always have those weeks that put a smile on your face. I seem to have more of the frustration filled ones than the ones that motivate and push me. I weighed in yesterday and basically gained 2 pounds. So I am 1.5 away from 50 again. Yeah. I am shaking my head too. Went to boot camp 4 times. Watched what I ate. I walked. I rode my new bike a little.

Just sucks honestly. I am usually more articulate here but today I am writing cause I feel like I have to and not because I want to.

So what do I do honestly? Well I was waiting for my boot camp place to put up their personal training prices. He was going to have a special. But they were released today and they aren’t that great quite honestly. I basically can save 9 bucks per session. Granted if I buy 10 then I save 90 bucks. If I had en extra 600 bucks laying around buy 30 of them and really save money. But I don’t so I can’t and I won’t.

I am honestly going to work out and walk less this week and eat more. Give my body a little shock. Try to keep my protein levels high, carbs low and see what happens over the next few days. I am not sure what to do. Who to trust. Where to turn.

Rocking it with Deb at her wedding this past Sunday

I came to the conclusion that it costs a lot of money to get fit and is much cheaper to be fat. I am going to try and wipe away my frustration and depression and push forward.

We will see what happens. I am not giving up yet.
