I Quit… Again!

Dale Sackrider, II — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 09:57:07 +0000

I have been putting my weightloss entries here on sackrider.org, but I really felt like I needed to dedicate some time and energy to losing weight and that warrants a new blog. So I just setup I Quit… Again! I plan to post there everyday regarding my journey to lose 100 lbs. Who knows, I could even be an inspiration for others… my main goal however is to not quit this time.

Here is an excerpt from my latest entry at I Quit Again titled “How to Recover from a Bad Food Choice“:

This wasn’t a random accident; this didn’t happen to me, this was done by me. I had a pastor once that said people don’t fall into sin, they “dig the swimming pool with a spoon, fill it using a thimble, build the diving board out of toothpicks and jump in”. I planned to get skittles when I headed to the movie. I skipped dinner knowing I would need the calories and could use that as justification. I am guilty as charged. I went to the movies and for me the movies are a place to eat skittles (for you it might be popcorn, but not me).

I knew it would be tough getting up on time to be at the gym by 6 or 6:30… I got up at 7:15am. Needless to say, I missed the morning workout. My official starting weight is 302lbs. I’ve been weighing myself over the last two weeks and my heaviest has been 306.4lbs. Regardless, I need to lose 30lbs from today by Christmas. So – 272 lbs is my goal.

I did not work out after work either – in fact, I only just got home at about 11:30pm. It was a long work day. But, I have been great in my eating habits today.

Here is my food journal breakdown:

Breakfast: English Muffin and a diet Dr Pepper: 170 calories / 3.5g fat / 14g protein / 25g carb

Morning Snack: Chili Nacho Cheese Protien Chips and a diet Mt Dew: 110 calories / 3.5g fat / 10g protein / 14g carb

Lunch: BBQ Port with green beans, corn, vegetables: 450 calories / 10g fat / 44g protein / 42g carb

Afternoon Snack: Kiwi Strawberry Twist Shake and a diet Mt Dew: 70 calories / 0g fat / 15g protein / 1g carb

Dinner: I worked late and missed it.

Ok – normally I won’t have a late night snack… but I missed dinner, so…

Late Snack: Sea Salt & Vinegar Puffs and two diet Dr Peppers – about 100 calories / ?? fat / ?? protein / ?? carb

Total Calorie count for the day – about 900… with no workout, I’m thinking thats ok.

PS – I know, I know… replace the diet sodas with water…
