mmm tasty cortisol

This week I have had unhealthy levels of cortisol inundating my body. I can feel its effects as I can feel slight weight gain as I am too tired to fight my mouth. Hopefully things settle down and clear up soon.

Still Cracking

It has been rather frustrating working out so frequently and not melting off the pounds. I pulled the kids behind me on a long bike ride father's day. After 2 hours I was still looking for hills to climb and up shifted much of the ride. So my endurance and stamina is much improved since starting our program. I am happy with that but still wish I would budge off of my 205 mark. I am considering going veggy for a week perhaps breaking the plateau.

Update: started off with all vegetables for breakfast and lunch...then promptly ate a steak sandwich for dinner. I will try again tomorrow...:)

Not Too Bad

The cake is gone. We ate massive amounts of cake. But the birthday is over (for this month) and we are now cake free. Well, we have another one in the freezer that needs to come out today, but that will be going home with the aunt and boyfriend. We do still have ice cream in the freezer though, and that is not good. I LOVE ice cream.
I'm only up .5 lb from a couple weeks ago though, so that is good. I don't know how that happened though, it seems like I should be up at least 6 lbs.
The Fat Man is up a couple lbs, but I'm not sure how much exactly. He's being good and working out every night though.

Weight GAIN.

Gain??? Wait, aren't we supposed to be going the other way?
Just like I thought, the endless amounts of cake and frosting we have in our house is not good. And if you add to that the greasy fattening food from The People's Fair this weekend in Denver, it's no wonder I'm going up and not down.
We really need to get back on track, but we've said that for over 2 weeks now.

Hey Fat Man, when are we going to get back on track??

Injury and Ranting

We got the wii active game a couple days ago. I love it! It really kicks your butt. Problem is, I injured myself doing it on day 2. Since it's a wii game, I just stood up and did it without shoes on. The running, the lunges, the high kicks... All that movement with no shoes gave me achilles tendonitis. I can barely walk.
Everywhere I've looked says that it takes 2-4 weeks to heal and I can't exercise until it heals.

We've been stalled out for almost a month on our weight loss. Due to our overeating and lack of exercise again. And now it's going to be harder for me to get back on track.

Oh, and did I mention that we have a 2 layer cake sitting in the kitchen? I have to practice the cake for Lexi's birthday in a couple weeks. That's not going to help either!

*sigh* here's to hoping we can get back on track SOON! I am sitting at 200.8 right now and I sooo want to be under 200. But I soooo want to eat that cake too! :)

Imbalanced equation

It seems as if all of my hard work exercising is being lost to my inability to not eat. I am going to start calorie counting tomorrow to see just how bad its gotten.
