Missed Goals & A New Year

Well I missed my goal for being in the 180s for my 35th b-day and the cruise I am about to go on. Looking back I don't really know why. I had plenty of time to turn things around several times and make things happen. I am sitting here today right at 201 pounds feeling like I settled but knowing I still want to realize my goals one day and get into the 180s or lower. For me it is mostly to see my bodies potential or to maintain a healthy lifestyle that promotes a usable physic and long life. Some where around the house hunting and moving I lost some focus. It was not like I totally lost sight of my goals as I was still working out pretty regularly. Just not as much nor was the diet as tight as I would have liked it to be. Like I have always said I am not going to try to live in or examine the past because its all about today or the future in my book. I am going to enjoy my cruise but try to watch my portions and get in a few workouts while still trying to get some R&R from every day life. My goal is to come back refreshed with a new plan that puts more structure back into my workouts and eating. Last year wasn't a loosing season for me I made big changes for the positive. This year, my 35th year, I want to go all the way. I want to get to where I have always wanted to go and see what it will bring me. This is going to be the year of Ripx.... Be looking for a more outlined approach of what I am going to be doing in early October. I will leave you with a picture of a still goofy, trying to stay young, 35 year old man (at dinner for my b-day at the local fish house). For those of you still reading take care and keep blogging. Its your entries that help keep me going day to day in my weight loss quest.

Never Ending Battle

WI: 201

The weight is coming down slowly but I am still pretty sad to see that stupid 2 in front of it. So far this week I have been hitting all my workouts and diet has been descent (not 100% but better). I need to dig deep and find the weekend warrior of fitness. This weekend has no agenda and we are scheduled to be at home so I need to take the next 3-4 days and make them healthy. I need to watch my weight continue to go down on a weekend, which hasn't happened in a long time. The inlaws are due to arrive on Monday and I should be down about 25-30 lbs since last time I saw them. Our cruise is in 22 days so I have plenty of things to focus on. Hopefully I can report a weight with a 1 in front of it before end of day Monday. Hope everyone else is doing well, its been awfully quite in the blog-sphere the last few months (less a few of the troopers).

Trying!!!!

WI: 203 uhhhhhhhh
