Well, Monday was not good. I was still having some stomach pain from my ulcer when I work out. And since my doctor said not to push it until I can't feel anything, I haven't done a good workout in like two weeks. I've done a little, but I'm ready to get back to actually improving. I also ate very poorly. :(
But, things have started to turn around since the holiday. I've started counting calories, and it's going pretty well. The biggest thing I need to work on is not eating after dinner. My biggest hurdle is the nighttime snack. I think I'm going to try to just start going to bed earlier, before that little "snack attack" happens. I could really use the extra sleep, too. So, I'm going to do that tonight.
The stomach pain was also pretty much non-existant today, so I'm really going to try and do a full cardio workout tomorrow. I did day 3 of week 1 of the pushups program and maxed out with 10. That's the most I've ever done at one time. At least there's improvement somewhere! :) The weight loss has been very slow the last couple of weeks, but I'm hoping with the calorie-counting and increased activity I'll see it start dropping again.
Just a footnote...school blows. My management class is a huge joke, I've been made a fool of in two of the three classes we've had in intermediate accounting, and my textbook for personal income tax is THE TAX CODE! That's great.

Sorry to hear about the ulcer. :( As far as snacking at night... I know this sounds crazy, since who would consider it a snack, but... try snacking on a veggie that you like. Is it a "craving", per se, or is it that you're hungry? Cause, believe me, I've craved plenty of Milky Ways in the past few days! :)
How many calories are you trying to do a day, if you don't mind my asking?
And in my experience as a team lead... you're made a fool of many, many times. :) It's how you handle it that counts. ;)
Good luck, God bless, and keep pushing!
Sometimes, when you feel hungry, you might actually be thirsty. Keep that in mind.
Thanks for your feedback, guys. The nighttime snacks aren't out of hunger, it's just one of those things I've always done, so it's just a mindless habit. Josh-I've taken your advice. I have those crystal light sugar-free mixes, so I get a little flavor. It really helps! Thanks a ton!
