Found out from a doctor after the birth of my daughter they want me in for testing for diabetes and another condition. Both of which the physician said would explain why even with diet control, exercise, etc, that my weight is stable or creeping up. The pants I found out were a fluke.. My wife had been hiding away the old ones and replacing them with bigger sizes of the same brand, to be helpful in getting me better fitting clothes.. But, since I wasn't told... Yeah... Embarrassed is the least bit. Sorry if I came off as petulant or lieing, but we know the culprit now!
I'll still be continuing the regimen, as it *does* help my mental state knowing i'm at least getting in better shape physically. I'm up to a 45 minute light jog/run, 10 up, 25 at a brisk jog, 10 down, or as close to time wise as I can.. 10-20 pushups in 2 minutes (starting slow so it's easier to do the higher amounts) and the same for situps. Also playing for about an hour a night (we take 15 minute intervals) on the Wii fit with my step-daughter and family in Kentucky.. It doesn't do the best exercises, but it is some form of accountability and bonding.
