.....and the results are......

After one month since my last weigh in, I have lost 5 lbw and 2.5 inch's more.  I am up 2 inch's around my belly, so not exactly sure what happened to that.  My chest is down and my thighs are too.  A bit of a loss in my waist area, but the significant area is the chest.  Knowing what I have been doing for the last 4 weeks, has given me a new life in the program so to speak.  I have been bored with it lately, and finding it difficult to mix things up food wise.  Now that I can see some movement, I think I might be able to kick the boredom now.  With golf starting shortly, and giving me more exercise, I am hoping 100 lbw is not that far away.

We are at the spa in Moose Jaw this weekend.  I can honestly say I think  it will be my last visit.  A new company took over here a year plus ago, and the place is going down hill.  It is so sad to see so many changes that are not conducive to customer satisfaction in my opinion.

The night before weigh in.....

Just want to post my thoughts before tomorrow and the scale.  I have not weighed in since March 18th, and I am not really sure what the results will be.  I hope that after 4 weeks, I am at least the same weight I was then.  I have not been very faithful to the program, and I think it is more so because I am starting to become bored with it.  I have found some new protein foods, which I have been trying to see how it will work for me.  It's been my habit for about 3 weeks.  I just needed something different to try.  The IP food is good, but as I said the boredom is getting the best of me right now. So the tale of the scale will really dictate to me what I will be doing in the next few weeks.  I need to get active again, and I hope golf will start soon too. That will help me, for sure.  I am still planning to have lost 100 lbs by the end of August, but I need to decide how I am going to do it.

Stay tuned..........

Let's try this again......

I want to apologize to everyone for being so delinquent in not blogging the last month.  I have been really busy and away allot, and I haven't dedicated anytime to my blog.  It doesn't mean that I haven't been falling the program.  I have continued on with Ideal Protien, and have my 1st weigh in, in 1 month coming up on Thursday morning.  I think that since getting back from holidays, we have been on the go so much, that I struggled to stay focused for a while.  I did make some poor choices in food at times, but overall I do not see any changes in my current weight status.  I have tried to get a bit more concentrated on getting back at it, and I think now that the spring has come, I will be more motivated.  been out walking recently, with Mozart and Sophie, and have been really watching my choices.  I struggled with some body issues, but those have come around I believe. I still feel real good, and I have the same energy I have always had.  My back/hips have been sore and I had a lot of problems about 3 weeks ago.  I could hardly move around at all, but had been in the car so much.  A project at work has taken me to Meadow Lake, Kindersley and Swift Current.  I really needed to be relaxing any trying to get the muscles stretched out.  Instead, I drove in the car.  Not the best thing for a bad back/hip.  Since I have been out of the car in the last week, its gotten a lot better.  Hopefully I am able to shake off the tightness, and get ready for golf.

On Saturday April 16th, 2011, I was voted in as the President of the new Golf Saskatchewan.  I am very proud of this, and am really excited about leading the golf community this year.  It will be a challenge as we have been struggling for volunteers in all our committee's, so I have some work to do with our staff and board.  I hope that the year will be as rewarding as the past 5 have been, as a board member.


I am attaching a couple of pics from Phoenix, and our holiday.....................

This is coming our of Oatmen Arizona.  We travelled on old Route 66.  If you ever get a chance, you need to travel on this historic highway.

This is from the Joshua Tree Forest northwest of Phoenix.  It was  taken from the van as we drove by.
