This sucks I cant get motivated, I cant get off the couch, I cant lose any weight, and I cant stop eating. At least I know I wont waste my time watching American Idol now that Ellen is a judge. But really I dont know what I doing these days, I really just need to get up and get my ass in gear. Im sick of feeling so blah but I cant seem to find any motivation to do anything. I guess Feb. is not going to be my month, its a good thing there are still 3 left in this competition. I am really hoping to make march my month. I am going to have some work and maybe thats just what I need. I am still eating mostly good, just without exercise I am only maintaining. Winning second place last month was great and it should have motivated me but getting laid off has been really hard. Maybe I should just stop bitching and stop complaining and loss some weight...Talk to you next week BYE!!!

Week 1 month 2
This week sucked. I barely exercised and I ate too much. Sitting at home with the kids makes it way too easy to snack and be lazy. I have a membership to the club but my wife has to be home for me to use it, and since she is never home unless its when the gym is packed, I usually get to go twice a week. And for some reason we stopped doing the P90X, so I'm really screwed. I guess I really just need to find a way to get re motivated, but that's tough when you are used to supporting your family and now all you can do is watch your wife do it. I guess if I cleaned up around the house I could get a little exercise but that's just not my style. I just spend too much time sitting on my ass watching hockey and fishing shows wishing I was playing or fishing. I even used last months winnings to buy an ice auger (to go ice fishing) but because of our unusually warm winter, most of the lakes near me are not safe to ice fish! On the positive side I have not gained any weight, I just wish I had lost more. Oh well I guess I need to try harder. Anyone want 4 kids so I can exercise? Just kidding Hopefully this next week will bring some motivation back to me.

Weird thoughts...
I never thought I would spend my 8th wedding anniversary at a health club doing cardio and loving it. But I did! Friday marked my 8th anniversary and we decided to celebrate by going to dinner and working off the food we ate. Which is strange because in our lives neither one of us has ever enjoyed working out, but we did enjoy time by ourselves (which never happens since we have four kids!) and we have been enjoying having success in loosing weight. I know I weigh less now than I have in years and my wife says she hasnt weighed this much since before we had kids. So hooray! We have also figured out lots of really good meals that are good for us and even the kids LOVE them! But the no sugar thing is going to suck, I mean talk about peeing in my cheerios! I can live without soda and fast food but you take the sugar out of my coffee in the morning and I might go postal! I would use honey but I hate it and every other sweetner I have tried suck.
((((This is my Poke at Brandon)))) POKE haha you got poked!
Bye all I will get back to you for the weigh in on FRIDAY!!! (Have the money ready) yeah right...

Just doing it
So today marks a mile stone. According to the pain in the ass scale in my bathroom I have finally lost 10 lbs. Hooray! Finally all this crazy stuff is paying off. I did not do well with the water challenge and my wife did, which if you read my previous blog you know this makes me an idiot! I thought that would be cake for me but it was not. This weeks challenge on the other hand I think will be tough, not because I have a hard time checking lables but because when I make a meal I do not take the time to do the math and add it all up. My wife was putting it all into the computer for a few days but we are both finding it a lot of work and we are lazy so...it didn't last very long. But these challenges seem to motivate my wife so maybe it will happen, you never know. This is the point in my blog where I would comment about some terrible really yummy food because I am stronger than the food, but my wife is sick of reading it (since she is not stronger than it) so I won't this time. I dont think I will even pick on Brandon this week. It must be that I lost 10lbs and Im happy or something, either that or I am drunk...mmmm empty calories. I Love You Guys!

week 2 blog
Hello, goodbye, this week sucked!
That was a joke but really there is somehting to be said about loosing a ton a weight one week and the staying the same for another entire week. It kinda makes you want a warm fudge brownie with mint ice cream on top, oh well. I am still exercising and eating right, I guess I should trust my body to do what it needs to do. Somebody told me that one morning I will wake up having lost 5lbs, so my fingers are crossed.
This weeks water challenge is awesome! Water is a great thing, if I am still saying that in a week I am a little nuts. Really its just funny because in the 12 years I have known my wife I have never once seen her optionally drink water. So where it might be easy for so I know she will be sweatin'. a little entertainment is always good. My water goal will be 90oz or 5 1/2 water bottles. (I will be reusing the same bottle, I wont waste that much plastic)
Also light work this week means more exercise at home, YAY ;0/ ! At least I dont have chocolate cake with yummy ganache and 200 cal. cookies laying all over my house, hows that treatin' ya Brandon?
See ya next week, goodluck!
