When I was at the doctor I told him Alex needed to start working out at the gym again. I knew the only way I’d get him there was if the doctor wrote out a prescription ordering him to go. Starting Monday, he is going to have to start working out.

I had him start a food journal two days ago. I think when he sees what he is eating, he’ll understand his weight loss much better…or weight stall…whichever mode he’s in. I’ll be having him keep track of his workouts as well.

Since he knows there isn’t anyway of getting out of going to the gym, he went out and bought himself an Ipod Shuffle today. He’s decided, if he has to workout, he’d rather be listening to music than watching the Oprah show. That’s what is always on the TV when I’m there. I love her show.
We are going to each have to drive our own vehicles at first. I’ve been working out and will be there longer than him to start.

He’s been doing real good and only eating what I tell him is acceptable. That old saying do as I say, not as I do…..(I had 2 little trick or treat size bags of M+M’s last night.) I made him eat a peach. I need to do that myself. I have more weight to lose than him, so I better be the one that gets REAL REAL REAL serious about this weight loss. I HATE losing…but in this case….I want to lose!!!…weight that is….weight.
