by Stephen Vinson May 30, 2009

Today was good. I actually have plans to have lunch with friends tomorrow. This weekend WILL be better. I won’t f*ck it up (Jack Sh*t). I saw all of the wonderful food recommendations in the comments. I like the idea of the seasoning on the popcorn. I’ll probably go to the grocery store on Sunday, [...]

Workout

by Stephen Vinson May 28, 2009

Well I worked out with the personal trainer today, and it was great. I did not look forward to it because of past experiences with trainers. The first thing she asked me was “How long has it been since you lifted weights?” I told her it has been a long time. So she had me [...]

Today’s weigh in was 573, which was a 10 pound loss from last weigh in. I’m on track for my 50 pound challenge. I’m going to call the personal trainer today and try to step it up a notch. The swimming really makes a difference. Have a great week!

50 lb challenge

by Stephen Vinson May 11, 2009

Here’s an email I received from my friend Kevin B about last weekend: Let’s chalk this up as a splurge weekend. You have been going hard since January and maybe this will be a good break. BUT, tomorrow, you have got to get back on track. How about you knock out another 50 lbs before [...]

Happy Mother’s Day everybody. I thank you for reading and commenting. Well, I had another bad food weekend. First, Friday’s supper was a double cheeseburger and fries from Chris Z’s by St. Vincent’s Hospital. Saturday was good except for a 1/2 big bag of chex mix that I ate along with a small bag of [...]
