Today was once again the most I've ever weighed: 273.2
This year has been the most unhealthy for me with regards to eating and exercise.

My back has been out for 3 months, but now I am able to start doing workouts again, so its time to get in shape again.

Healthier eating as well. Stay tuned.

Blog starting up again

2010-02-23T14:19:00.001-08:00

So I've gained 20 pounds since my move to the east coast due to not much activity and bad eating.

So changing both those things starting now. Found an afternoon squash guy so that is going to help a lot as well as getting back to the treadmill on non-sports days.
Healthy eating starting up again now too.

This mornings weigh in: 257.0

About to move

2009-11-18T08:52:00.001-08:00

Got Golf AND floor hockey on Thursday as well as tennis on Friday.

Weigh in: 238.6

Hanging Tough

2009-11-06T13:20:00.000-08:00

Had a week hiatus in PA doing nothing active and just driving around all day looking for houses.. Didn't eat too poorly though so able to maintain at 239.8 this morning.

Will exercise a lot my last month here in SD!

Life after the bet

2009-10-13T09:32:00.001-07:00

Been trying to keep focused!
Still been working out like crazy without my wife around but slacked off and been eating a little worse.. Weighed in at 239.6 this morning so hanging tough, but hoping to make a nice push to 235 to beat my wedding weight soon..

Weigh in: 239.6

Ouch

2009-10-03T22:14:00.001-07:00

Was pretty excited about me losing 20 pounds and weighing in at 238.7 today.

That was until Dave weighed in at 207 losing 30 pounds.. Yeesh!
Congrats to Dave for the amazing loss..

I'll try and keep going now, next goal is for 237 which is my wedding weight 2 years ago, haven't seen it since then..

Weight Loss Weigh Out: 238.7

Weigh out is going to be this Saturday

2009-09-30T09:24:00.000-07:00

Not going to give away current weight but definitely should be a new low for the weigh out..

New Low

2009-09-19T13:13:00.001-07:00

So pulled my groin a bit earlier this week so didn't do much early on in the week but got back at it with good frisbee golf and tennis yesterday as well as great floorball today..

New weight: 244.4

Have to finish strong for the rest of the month.

Back on track

2009-09-12T13:28:00.000-07:00

Excellent floorball today and excellent tennis yesterday.
Had pizza and beer for poker night but burned it all off.

Resulting weight: 244.6

Too many beers in Florida

2009-09-11T10:45:00.001-07:00

Had a blast in Florida but just drank a ton with no workouts.. So that was some weight gain there.. Back at it here in San Diego though with good floorball last night and a good treadmill session the day before..

Got 3 straight days of workouts planned (tennis, floorball, beach volleyball) so Monday's weigh in should rock.

Weigh in today: 245.2

Lots of workouts but too much Mexican

2009-09-03T13:01:00.000-07:00

Eating a lot of Mexican these days as I won't be getting much of that in a few months..

Workouts:
Friday: 3 mile treadmill
Saturday: 2 hour Floorball
Sunday: 3 hour beach volleyball
Monday: 2 hour Floorball
Tuesday: Laziness
Wednesday: 4 mile treadmill

Last night was good but I did nothing on Tuesday and will have to tone down the Mexican eating.
Weight: 245.6

Bye Bye 246

2009-08-28T09:40:00.000-07:00

Solid floorball last night with only a smoothie for dinner = 244.6

Finally making the next big step.. Although poker and ribs tonight, yikes, better have a good treadmill workout today.

Weigh in: 244.6

Tournament aftermath

2009-08-26T08:14:00.000-07:00

So I had an excellent all day floor hockey tournament workout on Saturday. Only problem was I took it easy on Friday to prepare for it, then had pizza & beer Saturday night with the team, and then I was super sore on Sunday so I couldn't do anything.. So those sort of canceled out the excellent workout. Anyways got back to workouts on Monday and Tuesday so resulting weight finally in the 245s..

Weight: 245.4

Pesky 246

2009-08-21T22:17:00.001-07:00

Was tied for my low this morning after a good floorball workout last night..
Took it easy today to prepare for all day tournament tomorrow!
Sunday morning should be a good one..

Weigh in: 246.0

I hate the treadmill

2009-08-20T10:50:00.000-07:00

Would rather play any sport than run on the treadmill, it's soooo boring..
But had nothing else last night so did 3.5 miles on the treadmill.

Played a few hours of tennis on Tuesday.. Hanging tough in 246 range, now have to make next push..

Weigh in this morn: 246.4

246.4

2009-08-18T09:32:00.000-07:00

Didn't have a great weekend, was pretty lazy and didn't do anything on Sunday..

2.5 hours Tennis on Friday, Floorball Saturday, and Floorball last night, back to 246.4.

246.6

2009-08-14T11:14:00.000-07:00

Good Floorball last night to keep me near my low.

New Low: 246 (-12)

2009-08-13T09:20:00.000-07:00

Sucked into my guilty pleasure lunch food (Taco Bell).
So as punishment, I ran 4 miles on treadmill right after and then had a light dinner.

Weighed in at new low: 246.0

Late Tennis Workout

2009-08-12T09:50:00.001-07:00

Had Chipotle for lunch but finished with a PB&J for dinner and then a good 2 hour tennis workout to finish.
Resulting weight: 247.8.

Took it a bit easy on the weekend

2009-08-11T09:50:00.000-07:00

2 hours tennis on Friday and good Floorball on Saturday.
After that rested up a bit, played cart golf on Sunday and did a 3 mile treadmill workout on Monday.

Resulting weight: 248.6

Constant workouts paying off

2009-08-07T14:52:00.000-07:00

So today is Day 9 of our competition and I've only had one day without a great workout...

Last night was very good floor hockey and a Robek's smoothie for dinner to weigh in this morning at 247.0.

2 hour tennis today and floor hockey again tomorrow morning..

Broken A/C = more weight loss?

2009-08-06T12:30:00.001-07:00

I sure am sweating at home a lot lately with the air conditioning down..

Anyways, good treadmill workout yesterday, 3.2 miles on 2.5 incline..

Got me down to 248.8 this morning..

Dave takes the lead

2009-08-05T09:09:00.001-07:00

We did an official weigh in last night.. I played good tennis to weigh in at 248 before dinner and 250 after dinner, Dave weighed in at 226 after dinner, that's 10 pounds down in 6 days lol..

After dinner weigh in:
Dave: 226.0 (-10.2)
Damien: 250.0 (-8)

2nd week drop off should be more realistic..

249.8

2009-08-04T09:30:00.000-07:00

Pretty happy with that, 3 miles floorball last night allowed me to recover from my lazy Sunday..

Tennis tonight and then an official weigh in at Dave's..

Does Driving Range count as a workout?

2009-08-03T08:55:00.000-07:00

Had a great Saturday with 2 hour floorball workout and good eating..
Yesterday was pretty lazy (I don't think 1 hour driving range counts as a workout)
But just had a PB&J for dinner..

Weighed in 250.2 this morning..

Day 4: 250.2

Survived poker night

2009-08-01T12:47:00.001-07:00

Usually at poker night I have like 4-5 slices of pizza and 4-5 beers..
Instead last night I had no pizza, and 2 light beers :)

Also played good 2 hours tennis so dropped a bit,
Day 2: 250.8

PS: Rumor has it Dave weighed in yesterday at 229, so he was pretty artificially high as well and is now 7 down like me so far..

First day of competition

2009-07-31T09:28:00.000-07:00

OK had a very good first day, decent eating and 2.5 hours floor hockey..

I think my 258 weigh in was artificially high by not doing any activity that day and stuffing myself and having a huge soda before I went to Dave's to weigh in.

Anyways I Weighed in this morning on my scale at 248 but I think Dave's scale is 3 pds heavier, so I'll call it 251 for my weigh in this morning after good workout last night.

Day 1: 251.0

How did your first weigh in go Dave? I'm sure you were artificially high as well..

Long time no update...

2008-03-11T10:25:00.000-07:00

This mornings weight: 241.5

OK so I didn't quite "spring" into action since last update. More like I went all the way back up to 245. But now I'm starting to incorporate all my old sports again (tennis and volleyball). And the last few weeks I've been doing about 4 sports a week so that is helping..
Will try to keep this pace up and to update more.

Last night was good floor hockey and good eating to get back into 241s..

Hockey tournament springs me back into action

2008-02-10T08:55:00.001-08:00

This mornings weight: 238.0 :)

OK I've been stagnating a lot lately but after some good floor hockey training this week and a huge all day tournament yesterday, I'm super sore and near my low again..
Let's see if I can continue the push forward and break 237 soon..

Need next big push

2008-01-25T10:49:00.001-08:00

This mornings weight: 240.0

Last night was good floorball and light eating but mostly I've been maintaining and not losing anything.. This week is going to be the start of improvement back to 230's.. I have good workouts planned for the weekend and all throughout next week.. Floorball tournament in Anaheim on Feb9, so that will be a major bonus for the weight loss program..

Stalled

2008-01-15T10:42:00.001-08:00

This mornings weight: 240.0

Still haven't recovered from the holidays yet. Settling in on better eating though. Had light smoothies for breakfast and dinner last night.
Had a great ~4 mile floorball workout last night.

We are changing floorball to be twice a week so that should help me out a lot as well.. Just getting sick of treadmill running and would rather do sports.
Might look into a daily morning 3 mile walk as well..

Holidays are over

2008-01-07T10:05:00.001-08:00

This mornings weight: 239.0

The holidays got me a little bit but I've had a strong last few days..
Yesterday was 240 after a 5 mile morning treadmill workout, and this morning was 239 after a 3 mile morning treadmill workout.

Didn't achieve my 235 goal yet, but at least I maintained OK.. I just had WAY too many home cooked meals with not enough workout.. Time to get back into the old routine, no more holiday eating!!
