I haven't been on in about a week. Not much is going on with the weight loss, I really am at a loss as to why I don't have the strength to loose weight. I have the right mind set, just nothing seems to be going my way on that front. I'm gonna keep plugging away.

Since Friday my family has had some trying experience. My wife's Grandmother passed away on Friday, she had been in the hospital for about 6 months with kidney failure. She was fighting hard and the family thought she was going to be able to be home for Thanksgiving. Her funeral is on Tuesday.

My wife's brother went to the hospital this morning because he had a seizure, as of this moment I haven't heard anything from my wife (she went to the hospital, Mt. Clemens General). Not sure what is going on with him. I hope to be able to give an update a little later.

Being this is a short week and unsure of what is going on with the family, I don't know when I will be able to get back on here.

If I'm not back on in a couple of days, have a good Thanksgiving and be smart.

Its been a very busy week and I haven't had a chance to catch up on here. I'm not sure what is going on. My weight has pretty much stayed the same for the past week or so, only changes about a 1 lb in either direction.

I have been eating better as of late. I have noticed that I have been eating few more carbs than normal. The binges are gone, no halloween candy. I just can't figure it out.

As far as exercise is concerned I have been doing about 45 minutes of cardio 4 days a week. Mostly treadmill work. I only have about an hour to workout 4 days a week. Kind of sucks.

What a weekend I had. I had to mow my grass on Friday, now with the new house and the huge yard it takes me about 2 hours to mow and I break one hell of a good sweat. Nothing compared to Bowling on Saturday. I forgot how much energy is needed to bowl 8 games. I thought my arm was going to fall off.

So how was everyones Halloween? My daughter had a good time, she dressed up as Snow White including the dark hair. She didn't get alot of candy and to make it even better my wife is taking most if not all of it to work. The temptation is gone.

My hair hurts. Thats right I think I am getting sick. Not only does my hair hurt but I have a headache, sore neck and shoulders and I feel like going to sleep.

Used the treadmill tonight. 30 minutes walk/run, felt pretty good about it. Would like to run more than walk.

So far today I have had a great day. At work today I had my 6 month evaulation and I will be off probation November 1st and I am also getting a 6% raise. I'm geeked about that.

My employer does a Cardio Challenge with Worthington Ohio and each year for the past 3 years. The goal is to have as many people participate and log their cardio minutes from October 29th to November 14th. The points are set up in a football style scoring such as 60 minutes = 6 points, 30 minutes = 3 points and 15 minutes = 1 point.

The challenge is to promote a healthy lifestyle with exercise and its also to promote the UofM/Ohio State game.

Not much to say other than it is a new week. I'm ready for the challenge.
