I messed up my wife's Mac

I thought I could follow simple instructions on how to install new RAM for my wife's iMac. But I couldn't and then when I couldn't get it to work... I tried to put the old RAM back in and couldn't get that to work. Luckily my wife still loves me. We had to take her computer to the apple store and get it fixed but the clowns wouldn't put in our new RAM or show us how to do it. So I'm back at square one but my wife still needs her computer faster.

Luckily we still were able to make it to the temple tonight a little late but we got there. Mindy worked in the kitchen and I did laundry she got the short end of the stick.

For dinner there I had a salad, green beans, a roll, a couple bites of Mindy's chicken and mashed potatoes and a fourth of her cinnamon roll. For the earlier part of the day I ate granola with half a banana, fiberone bar, I don't remember eating lunch because I was messing with the computer for so long.

I worked out when we got home and did 20 second fitness. with the main exercise being curls.

Thanks,

Quick post

I did work out but didn't eat so great today. I didn't eat unhealthy just to much for the changes I want in my body.

I did day 3 of 20 second fitness. It was a leg day. My knee's sore but I'll live.

Back on the Wagon

Back for the second day in a row to track my workout and food I ate. I feel so much better about myself by making it back to my blog.

Today I did day 2 of 20 second fitness. It was a great workout because I pushed myself. I also went to the gym last night and did a few quick sets on the bench with dumbells. I was still able to us the 110's but need to work on building back up to the 120's and eventually higher. I tried to ride the stationary bike but my knee couldn't take it. I'm pissed that I can't even ride a bike without pain. I'm contemplating on going and getting a shot for my knee to see if that will help with the pain. I know that I don't want to inquire about another surgery.

Food: Granola Cereal, fiberone granola bar, two super large carrots (from the huge bag I bought from costco), roast beef sandwich on flat everything bagle with extra mustard (again from the huge two pack I purchased from costco), small bowl of twice baked potatoes, V-8, furit snack, two cheese, rice and bean burritos, banana

Blogging part time equals not losing weight

Since I have been lazy about blogging and not tracking my food, I haven't been losing any weight.

I haven't lost weight in almost a month. But at least I'm not gaining all the weight back.

Today I worked out today with my wife doing day one of week one for 20 second fitness. I'm starting all over again and I'm not going to miss any day's this four weeks.

I also am thinking about going to the gym and hitting the sauna. We'll see how that goes because I haven't been the the gym for months.

Food: Granola, fiberone bar, banana, snack pack, fruit snack, three baked chicken strips, mashed potatoes, small bowl of pasta, 3 chicken nuggets (I stole those from my girls plates after they were done eating. That is something that I have to stop doing again.)

On Saturday I went shopping and was banned from going to costco alone by my wife. I was caught up in the buy-in-large vibe. At least I have 18 packs of gum to help me curb snacking.

Thanks,

Doug

Avatar!

I didn't workout yesterday. I was busy and made the mistake of turning on Avatar before I worked out.

Today I did the day 4 workout of 20 second fitness. I also went to the park with my girls and hit foam golf balls for over an hour.

It's late but I'm posting

Worked out today with 20 second fitness. Day 3 of week four. It hurts when yesterday was star jumps and today is all legs. But I made it through.

That's all for tonight. I have to help my wife.

I've been working out sort of but not blogging.

It's 1:30 am but this counts for Tuesday the 20th.

It amazes me how much I move around all day when I'm cleaning or doing yard work. It has only been a couple weeks but I have to give mad props to all the stay at home moms out there. WOW. I feel like I worked out for three hours while I was doing house work.

Today I did day two of week 4 on 20 Second fitness. The push ups are crazy but now with the star jumps I am touching my ceiling. Not saying much but at least I'm getting more than one inch off the ground.

Eating is my downfall while staying at home. I'm eating sugar, not enough fruits and veggies and I'm not drinking enough water. I have to stay strong with my eating if I want to make this work.

Tomorrow I'm back posting my food.

Thanks for bugging me and encouraging me.

Oh the Joy's of Staying Home

Today I had the privilege of taking my daughters to their gymnastics class. They have a lot of fun going there. My three year old is obsessed with Gymnastics. She has to wear her leo every single day and most nights she holds onto one while she sleeps.

I did really good with eating today & I feel like I drank enough water today. Also Worked out to 20 second fitness. I need to stop making excuses & ensure I workout on schedule again. It is crazy though because now that I'm at home cleaning and on my feet a lot more than I am used to it feels like I am working out all day long. Just as long as I still make time to workout too I should continue to see results.

I know I have lost weight but I want to lose even more. I am looking forward to the day my wife tells me I have a great body again (& actually mean it!) I am going to not be ashamed to wear a swimming suit this summer!

Thanks, Doug

I need to Blog Again

With all that has been going on in my life I haven't been making the effort to ensure I work out every single day. & You may have noticed that I haven't been blogging as I should also.

I ate more sugar and sweets in the last week than I have in a long time. But I still haven't been over eating.

I weighed in this morning and finally broke the 250 mark! I weighed in at 249 lbs!

Wow it has been since 2007 since I weighed less than 250. This motivates me to get back on the blogging wagon.

What I am proud of most is that even without blogging I was able to lose a little weight but not enough.

Thanks, Doug

It has been a while.

I stopped posting for a few days. Last week I was let go from my job and I've been a little distracted. That has also led to me eating unhealthier that I have been for a while. It is funny how hard it is to eat healthy when you are at home all day.

I vow that after today I will start writing down my food again. I need to check myself and become accountable again.

Thank you to my mother for finally calling me out about not posting.

See more tomorrow.

Doug
