Skiing Back on the Schedule

We're in the midst of a 6-9 inch March snowstorm. I think I'll make an effort to get out there and make some tracks this weekend before it all disappears. Upper 40's in the near future will certainly wipe this snow out soon. Plus it will help to change up my workout a bit.

Beef. It's What's for Dinner

Bought a pound bag of jerky. That probably wasn't a good idea. I can't stop eating it and it's so many extra calories that I really don't need. I guess I'm determined to delay the reaching of my goals. I'll just have to really try to make it last a while and not wolf down a meal's worth at once. Cadbury eggs still remain at 35. I'm sure the weekend will claim a victim, but maybe I can hold off. I need to be good one of these weekends. I know I won't next weekend with company coming.

Still a little sore in the chest from lifting Tuesday. Will probably lift again on Friday. Plan on some cardio tonight and maybe an abs workout.

I will try to weigh-in on Thursday afternoons instead of mornings from now on. My weight and water should be a little more accurate that time of the day as I eat and drink about the same each day.

My Weight Goes Up...

...and then down. Repeat. 

I started lifting tonight. I was quickly reminded of how sucky squats are. They sure get a workout out of me. Oh yeah, those exercise balls are also no fun whatsoever. I spend more time falling off of them than getting my set of exercise done on them. I like the hurt after lifting. Anxious to hit the cardio again tomorrow morning.

Slimming Down

I'm starting to graduate out of my fat clothes and am getting into stuff that I haven't been able to wear in a couple of years. I will have to try to wash the "hangar horns" off my shirts, but that's a small price to pay for losing weight and feeling good about it. Hovering around 260 right now, historically a very low figure for me. I've been hanging around the 270's and 80's on average for the past 8 years.

35 Cadbury Eggs Remain

Title says it all. Damn they're tasty.

That's All Folks

Skiing is now finished. The snow last night was very slushy and not a lot of fun, but a heck of a workout. The next time I would be able to ski is Saturday, and there won't be much snow left by then. Oh well, it was a lot of fun while it lasted. All of the skiing this past week had to have helped with a 2 pound weight loss. I'm getting closer to those 250's. 249 is definitely my first major milestone in my book. That will take me a while.

Winter's Last Gasp?

The temps are rising and the snow isn't. Got in 90 minutes of great skiing last night. I ate the snow hard twice however. I'm really surprised I didn't break anything. Possibly the last hurrah for skiing tonight as the temps will be above freezing in the 7-day forecast and I have to work late tomorrow night. So, I'm going to try to get as much in as I can. It sure is a lot of fun and it qualifies as a great exercise. I hurt a lot less after long sessions than I did just weeks ago. Too bad it has to end. Though I'd trade winter in for spring any day.
