OK so I have been continuing the workout schedule as prescribed, but horror of horrors, I have gained back some of the weight! Very sad, I haven't been eating the wrong things, in fact it turns out I may not be eating enough.
I was reading about it and this is normal with alot of people, I just have to be patient, or something. I guess that is all I can do. I'm not quitting.
Started to ride my real bike outside yesterday, it's really nice. I don't get to watch TV while I bike now, that would be hard to balance, but the real bike is a huge diffrence over the stationary.

20 min on bike today, and full workout on the Bowflex.
I went to the Elders Quorum game night. It was interesting because when I first walked in I didn't recognize anyone at all. So I thought I was maybe at the wrong house, but they seemed very welcoming so I figured if it wasn't my quorum, at least they were playing games.
It turned out it was my group, I am bad with faces, fortunately they recognized me so all was well, except that the only 'snacks' they had there were brownies cookies, and chips. I must always remember to bring my own snacks to these events. I was planning on it, but I didn't get around tomakeing them.
So everyone kept talking about how great these home made brownies were, the kids were loading up on them and they did look really good. However I avoided them completed, no home made brownies, no home made cookies, nothing. Though I had foolishly not eaten enough before I got there so I had a little Sunny D at one point just to raise my flagging blood sugar, but that was all.
Oh and I lost playing Blurt, but won soundly playing Porto Rico.
My weight this morning, was 219! This is a significant number, because 220 has long seemed like an impenetrable barrier. whenever I get close to it I seem to go crazy with the eating and quickly gain a few pounds again. It's very self destructive and so i am doubly proud of myself that I didn't have any brownies tonight.
When I lost 45 pounds a year and a half ago, I ended up at 216 as my lowest point. I have been hovering between 220 and 226 for the last year. The next milestone will be 216, then I will be heading into numbers that I have not seen since my late 20's. Or whenever it was that I started gaining all this weight.
weight this morning: 219

It's begun
the Bowflex has arrived.
On monday I put it together, wich i counted as my first workout, cause the thing weighs about as much a mastadon on her 'bloat' day. it took about 2 hours to put it together and by then I was feeling pretty sore, so I called it a day.
Yesterday I did my first workout. I did the basic workout, with 40 pounds of resistance, and then i did 20 min on my excersise bike while watching 30Rock off of netflix. Funny show! Never watched it before but it's a nice distraction.
Today I did 40 min on the bike, 2 episodes, but no workout, since I am supposed to do it three times a week.

This is the trouble with starting a blog of course, the constant pressure to write something interesting. So just to obviate that pressure, I will now endeavor to write something very very dull.
. . .
There that should do it.
Obviously no sign of my bow flex yet, it has only been one day, and I did not get on my bike today, because I am feeling under the weather, I seem to be coming down with something. But good news! I didn't gain any weight yesterday, as of this morning my weight was still 224, so that is progress right? Not gaining? Right? shoot. So much for instant gratification.
The only person I have told about the bow flex is my sister, I am hoping that I can keep my new regiem a seceret untill it becoems obviouse that something is going on, I also hope I can stick to the program long enough for something to be going on.

Time for a change.
Hi, I just did something crazy, I ordered a Bowflex. I got it used off of eBay, but I still can't believe I dropped that much cash on a piece of excersise equipment and so I decided that I better have some level of acountability lest it turn into the worlds most expensive laundry hanger.
I am starting this blog so that the interweb will make me accountable for my weight loss, I will endevor to imagine the millions, nay billions of readers, who are out there silently cheering me on to success. Thank you interweb billions!
I'll be talking about weight loss, art, ninja monkeys, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
height is 5'11" (not expected to change)
Current weight as of this morning: 224 (totally expected to change)
Wish me luck!
