Starting to hit the weights again

Hitting the weights again...

     Now I have my gym set up and ready to go.  Last few days I have been trying a new workout routine. It is going to take a few weeks to see if anything comes of it, but I have heard nothing but good things about the type of work out I'm doing.  I'm going to work out as much as possible, hopefully 6 times a week.  3 days will be upper body workouts, 3 days be lower body and core.  

     The work out is one that you just keep going until you can't lift another weight that way.  This has been talked about on many different sites I have looked at as one of the best muscle building workouts.  However, I'm not going to see (flex) for a month so I can see the progress all at once.  We'll see how that goes however.  

     I'm still not losing the weight and I know deep inside I need to start tracking what I eat again using Sparkpeople.  So Sparky here I come again! I'll keep you updated!

Moving means losing weight right?...

Moving

     So we moved out of the place we were staying and moved into a place of our own.  Very nice house, and lots of stuff that had to be moved.  I was excited for more than one reason.  First reason, finally get to have my family living in a house of our own again after 15 long months (thanks to those who put up with us haha).  Second reason was, moving all this stuff and all the exercise I was about to partake in, I was bound to lose some weight.

     Well, what I didn't take into account was the fact that eating was going to be a little difficult.  Dominoes here, Jack in the Box there, and my full time work diet that I talked about last night, really did a number.  I haven't really gained, but all of that extra work I did with moving seems to be the only thing that has kept me where I am.  That and those almost daily walks.  

     We are all human and bound to make mistakes.  I need to learn to control myself again and get on a routine so that I can better monitor what I eat.  Not only do I need to go back to monitoring what I eat, but I really need to start my strength workouts again.  I have my gym, it's time to cut my crap and start hitting it hard!

The diet that is not working...

Finding a way to overcome...

     Lately I have been stagnate in my diet.  It seems I have hit a rock that will not move.  I'm at 195 pounds and I know people seem to think that I am fine at this weight, but in reality I'm still overweight and need to still drop hopefully 20 pounds.  There are many reasons why this has happened, but one shines brighter than the rest.

     I have started working full time at my job.  This is different than I"m use too.  I'm use to only working four hours or so at one job, having a few hours to come home and do things and then work at a different job.  Now, it's eight to nine hours of working, with a half an hour break.  

     During that half an hour I will go out for walks, sometimes taking something easy with me to eat.  This easy thing is normally a sandwich or a bag of nuts.  Other times I will not take anything at all.  However, I do go for that daily walk and I think that is the only thing that has kept me from not gaining.

     So what I have here is most of the time I will eat breakfast.  I then go through the rest of the day not really eating anything.  So by night time I'm starving and eat and eat and eat.  This has been a killer and a habit I am trying to get out of.  Struggling is not fun, but it is a good learning experience.  We all are going to have our ups and downs, its getting past the downs that gives us great experience.  

     Hopefully, I can break this here in the next week or so.  Kind of getting tired of not losing weight anymore, I know in my heart I still have more to go.
