I think I over did it in the beginning. I am trying to figure out what works best for me in the long run. Going to the gym everyday isn't going to work long term. I have gone once this week and gonna try to get acouple more days in for the week.
Due to some money tightening I had to stop my Weight Watchers. I'm okay with it. I know what to do. Track and Move! Those are the only things you really need to do but I just have to do them. I downloaded an app from SparkPeople.com to track my food.
One thing I have learned about myself is that the scale has a lot more power over me than I thought. That 1 lb loss really messed with me. All that work for just that one little pound! So I am going to only weigh in once a month. I will see how that works for me.
One way or another this weight is going to come off. Its only the end of Feb! Got lots of time left to get to my goal before the new year!!

Day 17 - 21...
I lost my way but I am going to find it again.
Day 17 - The gym was closed. Forreal! Walked all the way over there and a sign on the door about some water main break. Its kinda funny because I totally had to drag myself out of the house that night.
Day 18 - Did a bunch of running around after work and didnt make it home in time.
Day 19 - Played frisbee golf with some friends and got in a lot of walking. Even though I didnt make it to the gym I was still pretty active.
Day 20 - Another day of frisbee golf and didnt make it to the gym do to getting sick from overeating :( That was not fun! Its been a long time since that has happen and I dont want it to happen again!
Day 21 - Since the weekend was pretty busy we didnt get all the stuff done that we needed to. So we finished it last night. Yet again no gym!
I can tell I am starting to feel crappy again like I did before I started this. I will make it to the gym tonight. I have nothing to do afterwork and no reason not to!! 2 weeks straight is nothing to be mad about. I think I lasted a lot longer than I thought I would. Maybe I can go a little longer this time. I kinda knew I wouldnt be able to go all 100 days but it was something to really push myself to try harder.

Day 15 & 16....
I made it to the gym on day 15. Did my normal 30mins of cardio but skipped the weights. One of the reasons is that it was all smelly on that side of the gym and it was making me sick.
Yesterday (day 16) after work I had to do some running around and what not. By the time we finally got home I was pooped. I didn't sleep well the night before and it was getting to me. My brain was just going and going. I just showered and went to bed.
I will get there today! But Friday-Sunday are going to be interesting. Friday I have some running around to do again. Then I am going to be active on Sat and Sun but not sure how I am going to fit the gym in. I know I need to but hard when you already know you are getting some cardio it too. I am playing Frisbee golf both days but also doing other things as well. I guess I will just have to get up earlier or something. I will figure it out.
I guess what made the first 2 weeks easy was that there really was nothing going on around me. I was able to go to the gym when I wanted to without thinking twice. But this weekend will be a real test to all the hard work I have been doing and going to be doing. I wonder it it will get easier when I get closer to goal or not. I guess we will all have to wait and see.

It's All True...
So I have basically been working out for 2 weeks now. I cant believe how much more energy I have and what a good night sleep I am getting as well. In the past I have always been a light sleeper and started taking a sleeping aid to get good sleep. Since I started working out I don't need my sleep aid. I fall sleep quickly and stay asleep until I need to get up in the morning. This just another great reason I need to keep going.
