I have not forgotten my blog or have I stopped my 100 days. Still going strong with workouts and eating right. Just wanted to take a break from blogging for a few days slash weeks. It began to feel like a job for various reasons, I am not going to go into details about why it felt that way but I needed to take a break.
Few things have changed that have made blogging everyday tough as well. One I have started my new job which means by the time I get home most nights I am not motivated to do much after the gym. Also I have switched a few things up. I decided two a days were really time consuming and I am trying to figure out how to workout in the morning. I do not like machines in the morning because I am half asleep but I have found running on a trail outdoors is fine.
That is what I did this morning. I ran for a few miles on a local trail and used a new app couch to 5k. I am really hungry right now so I will promise to write more tomorrow or later today.

Day 20-22
I watched diary of a sad cat on YouTube the other day. It is pretty funny. Sometimes I feel like this blog is like that. Melatone voice Day 20 of my weight loss. Well I feel like I am losing a lot of weight but Sunday will be the real test. Of course tomorrow I am suppose to start two a day workout and I am going to a wedding so this may be interesting as far as when I have time to workout.
So problems learned from trying to do a post from your phone while driving through BFE when you hit post you might not have internet. At this point I am back to civilization and a computer.
It is Day 22 and Sunday. Day 20 went well did a good workout before heading up the road to Waynesboro for a wedding on Saturday. Stayed under for my calorie goal.
Yesterday was the day of two a days. So I woke up early put on workout clothes and set out to jog/ walk around the neighborhood in Waynesboro. Do not know how far I went but it was 30 minutes and the views are beautiful. Breakfast was egg whites and lunch was Panera. Then off to Charlottesville. Well we were going to go directly to the wedding but I forgot to pack a black belt so we went to the mall. And then I realized I did not bring cuff links for my french cuff shirt. So we proceeded to run from one store to the next buying a belt and and cuff links and changing with 15 minutes to spare and having then to drive across town before the start of the wedding. After parking the car and racing in we made it to our seats just in time (even though I may have been a bit sweaty from all the running) Workout number #2. Dinner was at the reception and we ended the night with a few dances before driving back over the mountain.
No work out Sunday was great. Still ate healthy but did not count calories so I have not idea for the day. Did my measurements and weight in....Drum roll please...... Lost 1.8 pounds maybe eating more is helping. I also lost a quarter of an inch on my next line, one and half inches on my chest and a half an inch on my waist. Hopefully the weight loss will continue from here on out.
That's it for now...feel free to add tips, comments, and suggestions in the comment section, also do not forget to vote to the right side of the page and as always thanks for reading. Cheers!

Day 17
So today was my first real day at my new job. Although most of it was shadowing, I did get on the phone and book one appointment. Started the day out early at 6:30 and went downstairs to only realize the delay on the coffee had not started. So I proceeded to the living room where I sat for awhile and played cell phone games and checked Facebook for an hour all thinking I should have just slept a little longer. After getting ready and having a cup of Joe, I had breakfast which was greek yogurt with honey and almonds, a tangerine and a thinaddiction (367 calories).
At work I continued to snack all day having a thinaddiction, the egg white of a hard boiled egg, and a tangerine (172) Lunch was a pork tenderloin slice, green beans and a sweet potato (212).
After getting home and driving through the wonderful spring weather of sleet and snow I discovered out gym was closed because they are redoing the floor. So I decided to do Insanity. I would have preferred to do a workout off of the first DVD but we have loaned out some of them and all we had was one that had Max Recovery and Insane Abs. I did Insane Abs. I was not ready for this to say the least. Since that muscle group was not ready and it was not a cardio workout in nature it was hard to log how many calories I burned so I did I guessed around (100).
Dinner was Quinoa and stir fried veggies and chicken (482) Way short on my calories my wife and I went to Circa 1918 for wine night. Two glasses of red wine and a few bites of my wife's dessert, bread pudding, and my caloric intake was 54 under. I ate enough today finally. A little carb heavy though with the wine and quinoa. Maybe tomorrow I can cut that down and hopefully the gym will be open. As always thanks for reading Cheers!

Day 16
I would like to start tonight by apologizing to my audience for the recent short posts and missing days of posting. Sometimes I just loose motivation. Not loosing any weight in two weeks despite all my hard work was a little depressing. It would be one thing if my measurements were showing improvements but they are not. So as I mentioned yesterday I am going to start tracking my caloric intake. I am using an app called Lose It! on my droid. Seems like a good one.
Also, the whole reason for blogging is for support and guidance. If you read this feel free to comment below. I would appreciate any tips and encouragement. Also on the side there is a on going poll to vote for the next 100 days. I might add another category if this continues in the same direction of flat line....100 more days of weight loss.
On to my day....also since I am using a calorie counting app I can tell you all of the caloric values. For breakfast 3 egg whites (75) Turkey sausage 3 links (200) One slice of whole wheat bread (110) and 1/2 of a potato fried and cubed (80). Total breakfast was (465) Lunch was Panera. Greek salad with dressing and chicken breast (522) I meant to ask for dressing on the side but forgot and they mixed it in and I was too much in a hurry to try to fix it. I had Rotary tonight and dinner was provided. Chicken gumbo soup to start, and then a chicken breast baked, vegetable medley, and a cup of mash potatoes for dinner. Dinner was (569)
Also the app said I should be eating 1,886 calories a day which is a lot if you are eating somewhat healthy. With that said after my workout I was 700 calories shy of my goal. My workout was 35 minutes on the elliptical and 2.17 miles. So with me being so short on my caloric intake and that probably being my problem with not eating enough and my body going into starvation mode, I decided to have second dinner. White corn tortilla chips, salsa, broccoli, baked beans, a salad no dressing, and a handful of almonds (406). Still nearly 300 calories shy of my daily goal but I am done eating for the day. Hope this post was long enough for you ;) (wink face)...hehe.... as always thanks for reading. Cheers!

Day 15
Another weigh in day. Still the same weight as when I began. Did some research and decided I need more caloric intake. Measurements are almost the same. Lost half an inch in the waist but gained it in the chest. In five days I begin two a days so I will see what that does for me. Till tomorrow.
