Weekly Weigh-In 246.7 lbs. Honestly, given my dietary lapses this week I’m surprised I only bumped up half a pound. It’s been a busy, busy week workwise with quite a bit of social activity. The combination of these two typically culminates in bad eating decisions for yours truly. This is something I’ve always had a… Continue reading Progress Log: Week 32

Weekly Weigh-In 246.1 lbs. This week started out challenging, but I course corrected and ended up on a good note. There’s been major upheaval at work. Things have been kind of stressful for me there for the past three years, to be honest. Three years ago I was reorganized out of my original department. I… Continue reading Progress Log: Week 31

Weekly Weigh-In 246.5 lbs. I never intended to take a month off from posting, but that’s how it happened. Between a vacation week filled with a trip to Washington for the best wedding I’ve ever attended and a week of solid lawn work, topped off with a memorial service, followed by a week of catching… Continue reading Progress Log: Week 30

Weekly Weigh-In 242.2 lbs. Change can take a long time. I have to remind myself to be patient. I have had times, in the past, where I’ve lost lots of weight in short amounts of time (like 60 lbs in 3 months), but that’s not great for a body, especially as we age. I would… Continue reading Progress Log: Week 26

Weekly Weigh-In 243.9 lbs. So, it was one of those weeks. One would think that if over half the week were vacation days, that I would have easily had a second great week in a row. Alas, a lot happened this past week that completely blew my diet apart. Details Mode It’s a high rep/low… Continue reading Progress Log: Week 25

Weekly Weigh-In 241.9 lbs. It’s been a really good week. This isn’t the first time I’ve dropped below 243, but it’s the most believable for me. The one previous time was the day after 8 hours of lawn work on a 90+ degree day. It was, without a doubt in my mind, water loss. This… Continue reading Progress Log: Week 24

Weekly Weigh-In 244.1 lbs. The weight is still holding steady, but I’m feeling some interesting changes. My chest, shoulders, back and arms are feeling fuller. My legs are now only sore from workouts, not from chronic pain. My clothes are really starting to fit differently. It’s not time to break into my skinny clothes yet,… Continue reading Progress Log: Week 23

Weekly Weigh-In 244.9 lbs. Still on that plateau. I’m not entirely sure how to read this. I can feel changes. I can feel how clothes are fitting differently, however it’s moving really slowly. I have 112 days. That’s 16 weeks. The thing to remember is that weight is just a guide. It’s a good time… Continue reading Progress Log: Week 22

Weekly Weigh-In 244.9 lbs. Man. I’m feeling pretty static lately. I had to measure my gut for my wedding kilt. Ugh. A kilt measurement isn’t the same as for pants. A kilt is worn up near the belly button, so that means the measurement has to go a bit higher. Talk about an ego buster.… Continue reading Progress Log: Week 21

Weekly Weigh-In 244.9 lbs. So I’m now steadily moving in the opposite direction. This week hasn’t been the best in terms of diet. I had a couple of lunch dates with friends and, on top of that, it’s been hot as heck and no one has felt like cooking, so we’ve made some bad, fast-food… Continue reading Progress Log: Week 20
