Since I didn't see another week 2 thread, I thought I'd start one.
Previous week:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=18971
So, Sat we did grocery shopping, which intails walking 15 min both ways, one way, of course, carrying our groceries.
My weekly goal is the same as last. Workout mon-fri this week. As I can check off today, I've started out good

Speaking of groceries, the wife & I decided to purchase healthier items for our meals. We have paid particular attention to cutting out most of the sweets, watching carbs, and eliminating a lot of starches.
We of course have had to be more creative w/ recipes, but so far so good.

My wife is German and apparently they eat differently over there. One can read that as, a whole lot healthier than I used to. Needless to say, shortly after we started living together, my diet changed somewhat
Now I actually find that I can't eat a lot of the things that I used to (eg McDonalds). They actually makes me nauseous now.
Have you tried Thai food? Very healthy and very very good! Also, quite easy to make
Just gotta watch how much curry/spices you put in
@Serenity28:
Welcome aboard
I've found these threads quite motivating. For instance, I wouldn't have worked out this morning if I didn't feel the need to report back
I hope these threads provide you with similar motivation. Even if you don't feel the need to report back to us regularly

Ok, hit the gym again yesterday afternoon. Worked out on the weights for 35 minutes. Did cardio for 40 minutes; 20 on the bike w/ hills program & 20 on the treadmill @ 4.5 mph.
I'll weigh in again on Friday.

Willpower?
Really it can be a chore so I try to make it fun, more of a challenge than a chore. This thread & the support of the browncoats helps a lot. I also take my MP3 or CD player w/ some music to motivate me.
I find once I actually get to the gym & start working out I get into this frame of mind where I can let everything else melt away & just focus on lifting weights or putting one foot in front of the other when I jog on the treadmill. It allows me to let the cares & stress of the real world go & focus on some simple physical exertion.
You should try it out SigmaNunki.

Congratulations! On the five lost pounds, not the stomach virus.
Perhaps you could market the stomach virus as the next big weight loss program. LOL!

Well, they used to market tape worms as a dietary means.
Who knows? Maybe I'll just send them to the local pizza joint like I did.
