This week will be my toughest yet. Whereas I thought the candy would be hard food wise, this will actually require that I get up and do something. Yesterday, me and my brother David decided to go for a walk to City Market, which is about 3 miles there and back, I'm guessing, but I'll let you know. Anyway, it took us about 30 minutes to get there and 30 minutes back. I was so stiff the rest of the day, I didn't think I could move. But it was good for me, and there is no reason not to continue. So, to give my ankles a break, and to mix it up I've decided this week to do a one hour workout everyday. That will either be walking, biking, or swimming.
No Caffeine: Yes!!
25 Crunches: No.
No Candy: Yes!!
1 Hour Workout: Yes!!
Weight: Gotta get this down this week, it's killing me.
Feel: I let you know by the end of the week.

Day 21
This is the end of this week, and I've done a really good job of keeping up with my habits. However, what I think I'm going to do, is post at the beginning and the end of the week. I just can't seem to come here and post every day, but I still want to keep up with everything I've accomplished. So...
No Caffeine: Yes, for the most part. I had one can of soda the other day, but nothing the rest of the week. I think that's pretty good.
25 crunches: No, I just can't seem to bother with this one. It's easy enough, I just don't want to do it every day.
No Candy: Yes!! I did really good this week. I didn't have one piece of candy, and I think maybe I'll be able to stay off of it.
Weight: 258, this is not good. I'm gaining weight, not losing it. I think I need to step it up a couple of notches.
Feel: I feel good about the habits, but I keep gaining weight. So, I think this next week, I'm going to exercise a lot more. Everyone walks here, especially in the summer, and so there's no reason I can't start walking too.

Day 16-20: I haven't been posting...sorry
I'm getting very bored posting, even just a little a day. But I've had a really bad headache that hasn't gone away in days either. So, that could be it. As far as staying on top of my habits, I'm not doing to bad. Here are my results for the last few days:
No caffeine: Yes!!
25 crunches: Not really. Very hard to stay on top of that one. Monday will start another exercise week, and I'll start going to the gym everyday and walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes. Hopefully that will get me in the habit of doing more.
No candy: Yes!! I thought this one would be harder, but it hasn't. I've stayed off of candy all week, and still have a couple of days to go. Then it's just maintaining it.
Weight: Haven't the foggiest. It has stayed around the same I'm sure. If I start to lose any on a consistent basis, I'll let ya'll know by keeping track a little better.
For the most part it's not the habits I'm getting bored with. It's the blog. I've never been very good at keeping a diary. But I will try to start making a better attempt to keep it updated.

Day 15- Week Three: No Candy
Here's day one of the third week. This week I'll be staying off of candy. And I also need to make a better effort keeping off the sodas. So, no candy in any form this week, and then I need to maintain it. This week will be the hardest so far. Lately I've had a bad craving for candy. Mostly Twix, strange as it seems. So wish me luck on this week, and hopefully, I can lose a little by the end of the week.
No Caffeine: Yes!!
25 Crunches: Yes!!
No Candy: Yes!!
Weight: 257.5 Bad, Bad, Bad
Feel: Good today, I'm excited to be making it a little harder for myself. This will be a challenge. It's good for me though.

Day 14
Last day of this week. This habit was a little harder than the last. Getting active for me has always been kind of a problem. But baby steps, right? So tomorrow, I'll be staying off of candy bars. All kinds, and no exceptions. This one will be a really hard week for me.
No Caffeine: No, David brought home a Mountain Dew when he got me lunch at the City Market deli. So I drank that.
25 crunches: Yes!!
Weight: 257. I think the reason I'm gaining weight, instead of losing it, is because while I am breaking one habit, I decide that it's perfectly okay to eat whatever I want, or be as lazy as I want, because I'll eventually get to that habit. But that's a bad way of looking at it. Next weeks, should start to bring me down again, however slightly that is.
Feel: Pretty good. I've had some headaches this week, and I anticipate some more the next. Also, my knees are really starting to hurt. When I walk upstairs now, it's pretty miserable. I've got to lose weight. That's another reason I want to try something a little harder this next week. And if I can keep the other two habits going, then all the better.

Day 13
No Caffeine: Yes!!
25 Crunches: Yes!!
Weight: 257
Feel: Overall pretty good. But I seem to be eating to much candy. I get cravings for certain things at certain times, and can't seem to stop. That will probably be my next habit to break.

Day 12
No Caffeine: No, I just felt like having some soda today, so I drank some of my brothers.
25 Crunches: Yes!
Weight: 257
Feel: Good, but I still feel like I'm eating too much. I think this next week, I may try something a little harder for me, and stay off of candy bars. I really need to break that habit.
