Thank You Sir, May I Have Another?!

Blogging at 12:21 a.m. in the Platteville hospital parking lot is not what I call catching up on sleep.

More Work, Less Sleep

Work has won out again. The day after I get my first 8 hours of sleep this week, I get to stay at work until 1 a.m. That left me with no choice but to skip my morning workout and the afternoon workout is in limbo as I'm pretty much a zombie right now. Hopefully this weekend will give me some relief. I do plan on being good in the eats department through the end of the month to reach my goal of sub-250. Last night was 253.8 on the scale. I may have been a bit dry, but my water percentage was higher than normal- so who knows?

Sometimes Sleep Wins

It's been a rough week on the exercise front. I'm missing a couple of cardio workouts due to late nights on the computer. The body doesn't seem to want to function much when you get a few hours of sleep on consecutive days. I got my 8 in last night and rewarded myself with an hour on the elliptical this morning. I've got a sub-250 goal for the end of the month that I will hold myself to, so I can expect a lot of time on the equipment the next few weeks. Some running will surely be on my plate- I feel it really gets my fat burning. That will be my experiment. 

I've knocked back a few Cadbury eggs in the past week. I believe the count is at 36. I have to start eating them a bit so they don't become hard candies.

Where's My Damn T-Shirt?

Ran 2 miles tonight. I haven't done that since I was a kid collecting fun-run t-shirts from all over the northwoods. I had more in the tank at the two mile mark, but I didn't want to overdo it. So, I walked another brisk mile to cool down.

I've Got the Runs

Step 1: Bought a pair of Nike Shox Turbo VI running shoes.
Step 2: Put them to use.

I Was RunnING...

I am starting to run a little bit. I figure it can only help by switching up my workouts a bit. Ran for 18 minutes straight yesterday morning. Probably would've went longer, but my countdown timer stopped the treadmill. It's a start. Weight- 255.6

April Fools

Well, I never did go skiing last like I planned. I ended up getting too busy running around the countryside shopping for cribs and other furniture. Did some clothes shopping and closet cleaning this past weekend. The fat clothes have been eliminated from my wardrobe. That means no going back now. Last week's weigh-in was 257.6. I hope to shed 2 or better from that. I guess 2 pounds would be acceptable. That HUGE milestone of sub-250 is getting closer. I'm going to feel awesome once I get there. I almost can't imagine what it would be like to be in the 240's again.

Cadbury count is at 41 after a last minute purchase before the bunny came and took them all out of stores.
