Scott: Weigh-in and Begining of Calorie Tracking

I weighed in today: 278.4. Not bad concidering I have been a slacker about going to the gym. I also began tracking my daily intake on Livestrong.com. Soon I am going to begin a picture feed of my meals to help me visualize the portions and help control my overeating habit.

Dale: More Swimming...

Swam Friday and Today. 1/2 mile each day. Slowly getting my speed back up. I had to swim around a bunch of kids today, the lifeguards forgot to keep a lane open for lap swim. They eventually noticed I was having to slalom around kids to get from one end to the other and they moved the kids into another lane. All in all I like swimming and it's a good workout so I'll keep it up. Eating has been going pretty well, except for the fact that there was a pig pickin' this weekend so that wasn't the most healthy fare. Well the pig was pretty healthy but all the other stuff that was there wasn't. :) It was all tasty though.

Now I'm off to make a sandwich and head into the office for some fun and exciting work!

Sound exciting I know...

Article: Why Excersize Won't Make You Thin.

Interesting article in Time.

Why Exersize Won't Make You Thin...

If you read the article, please chime in with your thoughts...

Scott: Good news....

So far. They are treating my shoulder with high dose Naproxin Sodium and PT for two weeks then back in to evaluate. So I can still run and work lower body. Hopefully I can return to strength training soon as I have a Highland Games coming up in a month and a half.

Bad news, BP was elevated once more. Need to be better at monitoring that.

Dale: Glug, Glug, Glug...

So Monday I started swimming. I swam 800 yds in about 30 min. A nice pace just to get used to being back in the pool. Today, I went again and did 850 yds in 30 min. Friday I'll go again and see if I can make this part of my regular routine.

Good workout.

Scott: Much the same.

I have been a slacker at my working out. I was on the Couch25K plan but was derailed by vacation and my own laziness. Time to get back on the bandwagon. Before vacation my weight had plateaued but I think that can be attributed to lack of change in eating habits. Exercise is great but if I still eat enough to feed my family the weight will not come off.
"Stop eating you fat bastard!" So fitting.

Welcome Scott!

I'd like to take a minute and welcome a fellow Fat Bastard to the site. Scott will be blogging along with me while we work on become smaller Fat Bastards. :)

Quick Update

Things are going well, still getting the Papa Spuds Service, cooking more at home and excersizing. Riding the stationary bike pretty much everyday for about 60 minutes. At least I get to catch up on all the shows that are on the DVR. :) Not really dropping many lbs, but I feel much better and my knees aren't hurting quite as bad these days. All in all everything is going well. I am going to throw in some swimming and some weight training over the next few weeks and see how that goes.
