So, a little update on things going on.

The weekend of memorial day was my birthday (May 24th). I ate like a pig and partied that weekend, plus being a holiday weekend it was bad. I hadn't weight myself the week before because of all the bad things going on. So I weighed in after the weekend and I was 5 pounds up! I was ready for it though, and I wasn't put back by it, it just gave me the drive to dive back in.

I busted ass last week, two big walks and a log bike ride. (by the way, new shoes are awesome! they make a huge difference in my walks). I was headed for a national sales meeting in Dallas so I decided to weight in Friday morning before I left. I was down 3.5! great to see it work out like that. Didn't take off the full 5 but 3.5 is a great start. This week I've been bustin ass too, over 2k calorie deficit every day, Tuesday I helped a friend bust up and put his driveway into a roll off, yesterday I did a 1.5 hour walk, and today i was prepping a truck shipment in our warehouse all day so I've been bustin. I'm hoping to take off the remained 1.5 and more when i weight in Saturday. Tomorrow I'm planning to work from home, i'm hoping to take a bike ride in the afternoon if the weather cooperates.

Hope everyone is doing well out there, good luck and stay with it!!

Well this has been a bad month for me in terms of my fitness program and weight loss journey. A varying number of forces conspired to make this a bad month along with my loss of drive. My situation at work got much worse, causing me to work longer hours (upwards of sometimes 15 hours a day) which took away most of my time to exercise. My stress caused me to start overeating or eating like crap again. My birthday was may 24th and that weekend I was treated to a lot of meals and stuff so I overate like crap. I also got lax in my food logging for the weekend of my birthday which has happened once or twice before and I know that I need to be more conscious of that going forward. Make no mistake though, I let it all happen, and I'm going to correct it.

Last week I took the week off from weighing in. I knew it had been bad and i decided to give myself a get out of jail free card and take a week off. I had plans to bust ass and then weigh in this weekend, but I had another less than acceptable week. However, two things happened. One is that I finally received a promotion at work and I'll get to do one job instead of two so my stress levels have dropped a bit. And I bit the bullet and weighed in this morning to begin my journey back to where I was because I knew it wouldn't be good, and it wasn't. Since my last weigh in I have gained 5.2 pounds.

This summer is going to be tuf, summers are full of parties and picknicks and god knows what else that give you tons of time to sit and overeat and drink. Heck it happened tonight, I snacked a lot a shouldn't have at a small get together at a family member's house. I told myself when I got home tonight, that that all changes tomorrow. Sunday is the start of a new week and a new month. I'm going to kick ass this summer and I'm going to get below 300 pounds before the summer is out!

I went to a real shoe store today, the oldest running shoe store in the country. A place where they actually know what they're talking about, can watch you walk and examine your current shoes to tell you how you're walking or running and what type of shoe you need. I got myself a good pair of walking shoes and I'm going to use the heck out of them! I was testing different shoes out in front of the store, i even did a little jogging. It's amazing what a difference a good pair of shoes makes.

Well, I guess that's all for now. I plan to run a couple errands, get a bike ride in tomorrow (weather permitting) and do some house cleaning, all of which should burn up some good calories! I hope everyone out there is still sticking with it, and happy losing to all!
