Good Morning Rich!
If I exercise without eating first I absolutely have no energy to do it and end up resenting my efforts and wanting to quit. :( Wow! 61lbs to go...you're getting there! :) How are you feeling lately...how's the old ticker? Good, I hope. Best of luck with your exercise plan! :D BTW HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! :)

September 1st. here you come!
Babs :)
If you always do what you always did you will always get what you always got.

You bet I am Babs! :D

Rich I am so proud of you buddy, you are doing so great! I should learn a thing or two from your example. :)

BigRich...I always used to keep a supply of those protein "workout" bars on hand. You know, the ones about 350 calories with 10 grams of fat and protein. Eat one of those before you go to the gym and you will last longer in your workout. They are also helpful to have around when you are too busy to eat properly. They keep you from getting overly hungry and blowing the diet. Keep up the good work.

Big Rich,

One day at a time, big guy. You know, I was just wondering; how many other men in this country have as many female friends as you and Yellow? You have this extensive following of gals who are just crazy about you!

Hugs,
ThinLynn

Ahhhh world look out!!!! Here comes Mr. Universe himself.. Good job rich.

I may not be Mr.Universe but how about Mr.DT sorry Yellow. lol ;)


Richard :D Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down

Just read through your posts! You are doing wonderfully! Sounds like it is getting easier to stick to your goal. Is it? Keep it up! :D

Nothings change same as last week 251. Exercise for nothing. Same old stuff.

Richard :)

Wow Rich! 2.25 miles is awsome!! You are inspiring me to go use my treadmill...very impressive restart!!! Good for you!!

Good going Big Rich...slow and steady wins the race they say, right? It sounds to me like you are being very good about your exercise and food intake...just keep it up at a pace you can handle and you will do it!

J.

Glad to see you are up and at it again Rich. You had us all very worried there for a while. Make sure you post daily just so we know you are still around..or otherwise we have call to call on the diet cops..LOL

Sprained my ankle on Friday night and have it in an air cast so my exercising is shutdown for about a week. But will continue to eat healthy.


Richard

I am so sorry to here that. Hope it is not to painfull.(((hugs))) :)

Thank you Gwen it is just part of the bad week I am having but I am sure things will turn around. ;)

Richard :)

Sorry to hear that you are having a bad week, Rich. Prayers are still being sent your way! Take care of yourself.....

OH, NO! After that horrible scare you gave us a couple weeks ago, now your ankle? Poor Rich! If you have a cast on, can we all sign it?

Air casts are cool! We used to sell them.. Now you'll have a personal flotation device if you are on a boat that sinks now. :) I hope your ankle feels better soon.

Corinna

Been having acute puncture done on my foot and it is doing better hope to get back to the gym next week. :)


Richard ;)

Well it's been a while but now I have a bad cold so I can't exercise until I feel better. I did lose 4 pounds last week but I think it was water weight and will weight my self when I feel better. Haven't been eating much because of the cold. :(


Richard

Hope you get better real soon Rich. So far I've been lucky enough to only get a cold once this year...Can't afford one now or they will put off my surgery.

I sympathize! I'm just starting to feel healthy again after 2 weeks with bronchitis! X-(

Baylee I'm doing fine and this cold is just about gone. Tomorrow I am going back to the gym and exercise. I have been eating heathy and will weigh myself tomorrow. ;)

Richard
