So, you might be wondering what is going on with Steve. Or, maybe not. :-) I have been meaning to get on here and put a post up, life has just been busy. I thought the best way to share part of what is keeping me busy would simply be to refer you to a better written post than I could do. Just head on over to Pippa’s Porch. Pip and I both started this photography challenge earlier this year, and if you are interested you can see my pictures at http://365project.org/aineo/365. You could also see them and subscribe to my page at https://www.facebook.com/365daysofme. Here is one of my favorites for your viewing pleasure:
On the weight loss front things have been going exceedingly well. I am down 10 pounds now, and I am exercising again. All is well, right? Yep! I lost a lot of ground on my weight and fitness over the last year, but the tide has turned!

As I wrote about in the last post, things have taken a change for the better here. I have been strictly following my eating program for almost two weeks now, but this week was the first major challenge. I had to travel again this week. As most of you know, that is really challenging for me. Between the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffets and fantastic restaurant temptations, it is just about more than I can handle. This week has been different though. I have eaten very, very reasonably at breakfast, having much of the same exact things and portions I would have at home. Lunches have been salads, and even supper has been handled well. Last night was the biggest temptation though – a meal at my favorite restaurant, which is a Brazilian Steakhouse. I am pleased to report that it is the first time ever that I didn’t leave that restaurant over full. Victory!

Yesterday sure didn’t feel like a Sunday to me. Maybe that is the reason I totally forgot about giving a Hot 100 update. This past week was a tough week for me. I really came to a further realization how much weight I have gained, which is depressing to be honest. Fortunately, I am past that now. I am now revving up the engine for a good 2012, which doesn’t begin January 1st – it begins today. I can’t worry about the ground I lost over the last two years: last year with regards to fitness, and this year with regards to weight. I have to look to the future and move forward. That begins with the Hot 100 plans for this last week of the year:
- 180 push ups
- 60 jumping jacks
- 4 full sets of one minute planks (front and sides)
- 210 toe raises
- 90 curls
- Walk three miles
- Eating (6/7 at 6/10)
I didn’t do so hot on my goals this week, although I guess I hit many of them. Not hitting the eating goals took away from it all though.
- 180 push ups – 195 & DONE
- 60 jumping jacks – 60 & DONE
- 4 full sets of one minute planks (front and sides) – 4 & DONE
- 210 toe raises – 210 & DONE
- 60 curls – 60 & DONE
- Eating (7/7 at 6/10) NOT DONE!
That’s it for today. Be sure you head over to both Leah‘s, Pippa‘s, and Jody‘s blogs and offer them some encouragement.

Well, this hasn’t been the best week. I didn’t hardly meet any of my goals, partly due to my knees being sore, partly due to me totally blowing it on the eating. I kind of feel like I am at the bottom of the barrel right now, which is not where I like to be. The only good thing about that is that all you can do is go up from there. I am keeping my goals the same for this week, with a few exceptions due to the knees and my need to do better at eating:
- 180 push ups
- 60 jumping jacks
- 4 full sets of one minute planks (front and sides)
- 210 toe raises
- 60 curls
- Eating (7/7 at 6/10)

It seems I have the exercising down pat for now, but the eating is my area of struggle. Grrr! This week needs to be better. Here is the report for the week.
My computer is acting quirky right now, and I can’t get my records pulled up for the week Just know that I hit or exceeded all the goals except for the eating. Grrr!
The goals for this upcoming week are as follows:
- 180 push ups
- 180 jumping jacks
- 4 full sets of one minute planks (front and sides)
- 210 toe raises
- 60 curls
- Eating (7/7 at 5/10, 6/7 at 6/10, 4/7 at 7/10)
That’s it for today. Be sure you head over to both Leah‘s, Pippa‘s, and Jody‘s blogs and offer them some encouragement.
