Patrick and Rebecca's Fun without Fat!

This was a hard day for me.  I had to stay after and do game duty.  I did walk a ton tonight in supervision but not the type of walking that would do me any help.  Eating was the toughest part of tonight.  I stayed away from the snack bar with pizza and chips.  My wife had made a great low calorie texmex type dinner that was good.  Long day and I'm wiped.

Food content wasn't to bad today but I only got 15 minutes of exercise in today.  I had to bike most of it as my legs hurt and I just couldn't keep up with the elliptical.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better and I will try to beat the superteachers best of 6:23 on the elliptical!!!!  Bring it on girls.... :)

This trying to eat healthy is hard. It's hard to pass up that awesome chocolate cupcake, those salty savory chips, to not eat that extra bowl of pasta.  I know for me that I can't go cold turkey (even that phrase has food in it) with my eating habits.  I'm trying to change a little at a time.  It's hard, very hard.

Trying to switch service cost me quite awhile on the Internet so we have been  unable to check up on all of you and keep you updated on ourselves.  A few new things have happened.  My teammates at school and myself are working out just about everyday at least once, if not twice.  Things will be much easier at home now that I have fixed our treadmill.  SEARS came out to do an estimate (freakin' ripoff) and then wanted to charge me $240 to fix the piece (the belt itself only cost $20).  I asked the guy if I were to do it myself, what would I do so he showed me.  Pain in the butt which I think I burned a few calories beating the treadmill and calling it a few encouraging words.  As for the eating, I'm going to try and add a breakfast now to my diet everyday. I was never a breakfast person but I'm going to try and see how that goes.  Talk to you all later.

It's been awhile since I've written anything here.  Our internet was shut off by our phone company a week ahead of when I was getting switched to another provider.  Anyways, the diet goes well.  Haven't been that bad on the cheating, it's just trying to make sure I get enough low calorie good food to fill me up.  We're still doing at least 20 minutes of exercise a day (want to up that to 40 soon).  The other day I was able to do a mile on the elliptical in under 8 minutes (a personal best).
