hey you know what, I was legit-ly tired

slept for a solid TEN hours or more last night.

I skip workouts to avoid joint pain

today I think I'll go play with the weights after work rather than do cardio

Meddy take something for your joints with Glucosamine, Protease enzymes and MSM.
It works well, remember you are not that young any more.

true that I am not that young anymore

I took at least ten hours of sleep as a recovery.  overall, things are going well and I am pleased with my success

perhaps in about six months I will get a professional photographer to take progress pictures, and  I will post some "before" pictures so you can compare results

Medford, you don't need a professional to take your photos.  Just have someone take regular shots of you.  Those are the most "honest" types of pictures.

3 years ago I used glucosamine/chondroïtine for my troubled right knee. Used it for about 2 or 3 months, it's been good ever since.

good to know, and thanks.

you know what?  I dropped another 2 pounds!  THATS why I was so tired.  Backing off a couple of days, because the weight loss is happening too fast.

If you're keeping track, total is minus 15 lbs since Nov 1st

That's not too fast at all IMO. You've been dieting 10wks if you started at the 1st of Nov. If you hadn't lost 15lbs by now then something would be wrong. Keep in mind, all of that 15lbs is not bf.

Definitely not too fast.

Just stick with it.

These are the critical few weeks, when the diet will make or break.

If you hang in there for the next 3-4 weeks, you will get through with it.

You have to focus on your goal, on being in shape this summer, and what a great feeling that will be.

How good you will feel. This is what you need to think about, at least a couple of minutes every day.

It will keep your mind strong.

Whenever your doing cardio, let your mind focus on things like this; the great payoff for all your hard work.

Good to hear that you're able to sleep well.


A long, deep sleep prevents the body from being stressed up, and keeps the body in a healthy state.


And as usual, keep eating the healthy carbs, plenty of fish and chicken, ham, et al.

Veggies.

And another tip: Use seasoning. Such as garlic, pepper, salt, et al. Spice up the food, make it more enjoyable.

Let me re-iterate: Don't slow the weightloss down. Keep it up.

If you continue on this pace, you will be able to (realistically) lose some 30 lbs more before summer.

If you do that, you will have changed completely.

And remember, onlyme has already lost 55 lbs... ;)

I agree that was a good one.  Very motivational and also points out that healthy food does not have to be bland.

onlyme reports that as his weightloss.  I couldn't keep up with numbers like that.  I will, however, get right back into training today, my little break has cost me.

and I'm too embarrased to have this thread a sticky :-[

You're a much smaller person.

Percentagewise, I'm sure you're fairly close.

Just keep the focus on the goal.

Don't really know if its true but read somewhere once that ham/pork is a poor choice of protein.  They said the quality of the protein was poor.

I sure did love the Honey Baked Ham I had for Christmas though!

I've heard the same thing but never by anyone that I would hold too much value in their opinion. After all, "THEY" say a lot of things, lol!

I'm not a model.  But, I would like to really do what I can with what I have.

Prep day:  got my whey protein shakes made.  need to make broccoli salad.

doing the laundry for the week.  thinking about getting a few more workout gear outfits

Today is kind of a moment for me.  I've had these pants that are two inches smaller in the waist than what I've been wearing for a couple of years.  It's finally time to wash these brand new pants then take them down to the tailor's and have them shortened.  I think I am at the point where I can finally start wearing them.  My waist size and fat ass have always been my major weakness, but with my recent weight loss over the past few months, I am feeling great, and not only am I going to get the pants that I ordered more than a year ago tailored, I'm also getting psyched about only wearing them for a short time until I need an EVEN SMALLER size pants!

Thats great!  Yeah buy yourself a couple new things now cause it will feel great.  But dont go crazy cause you will like you said need even smaller clothes in a couple months.  :)

yes I think I am at the point where I will look into being a bartender.  I wanted to go down a size first.  I'm going to give notice at my one job in a day or two.  I'm going to try to expand my role with the other job, go back to trade school, and practice our house specialty drinks (I have had the workbook for months)
