I am still here. Sometimes I just need a break. I have stayed withing 224-226. Now I just need to get out of the 220's and into the 210's. Once that happens, I will no longer be morbidly obese. I will just be obese.

I have started running again. Last week was my first week. I have alternated running and walking at 4.0 and 6.0 mph speeds. I know I can run faster, but I didn't want to overdue it. Yesterday and today I ran 2 miles straight at 6.0 mph so that was a 10 minute mile. Hopefully I can keep it up. I have been bringing my lunch to work and only eating out once a week for lunch at work which saves money and calories.

I will try better to keep you all updated about my progress.

For the past few days I have been doing pretty well staying within my points range and getting excercise in. However, last night I let loose and drank A LOT of alcohol and ate so many chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter brownies. I wasn't going to go to the gym today, but after sleeping in until 1, I couldn't jut lounge around all afternoon. I went to the gym and did some cardio for an hour and 40 minutes. I walked over 2 miles on the treadmill for 35 minutes. I then got on the elliptical machine for a hour and 5 minutes.

I read a really interesting aticle in Time magazine while at the gym and losing weight. I will elaborate some more on it later.

I stayed with in my points range with the help of activity points. I would say the only thing that was not such a smart choice was the sausage biscuit I had. No one forced me to eat it, but I was offered it and man do I love sausage biscuits.

I can already tell that a full time desk job is going to be a struggle eating wise. As long as I plan out my meals and snacks I should be ok. I also need to limit the amount of times a week I eat out. It will definitly help my wastline and my budget if pack my lunch and don't eat dinner out as much.

After work I went to the gym and man was I sore from yesterday! I worked out with weights for 30 minutes and cardio for 60 minutes. I haven't yet decided what my excercise plan will be for the weekend. I do know that I will be drinking tomorrow... a lot!

Readers, if I have any left, It has been a while. Graduation from school and the job hunt has been crazy. Basically for the month of May. I had no eating or excercise plan what-so-ever. That would explain why the scale read 230 on Tuesday. So with the start of my new job (I am a booking coordinator at an arena) I have also am trying to eat better and get in my routine of going to the gym. I went to the gym on Tuesday and Today. I am going to try to go every day after work. I really missed it. On Tuesday I went for about an hour and 15 minutes and today I went for an hour and a half. I did 30 minutes of weights and an hour of cardio tonight. I don't want to push myself too hard since I am just getting back into the swing of things. I was sore yesterday.

If there is one part of my body that felt like it went to flab the quickest, it was definitly my abs. I need to get those bad boys back in shape.

Ok, I am really going to make an attempt to post more now and catch up with my blog reading =) I hope you all are doing well with your weight loss!
