Memorial Day Weekend

Well, it was a long Holiday weekend...and, like most, I ate.

But, this morning's weigh-in shows 175.

Not bad.

My wife has noticed my weight has gone down...keeps telling me I look great. So, the 7 pounds I've lost since the start of the year...definitely paying off. And I'm hovering around 174 and have been for nearly 2 months now, so I feel good about that and my ability to sustain it.

Another day

...another 174.5

and...my breakfast? a small coffee w/1 sugar and a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit at mcdonald's

Today

174

even.

that's it!

I know those last 2 pounds will come off...

but I also know it FEELS great to weigh under 175 -- and to have been here for over 2 months now.

174.5

again.

Not bad.

So far today I've had: One glass (8oz) of Cranberry-Grape juice (no sugar added) and 1 Grande Caramel Macchiato at Starbucks. Not sure what's next.

174.5

that's today.

After last night's delicious meal at Cracker Barrel -- which was breakfast, really.

HONEY!

for weight loss (at least as a sugar substitute, anyway) ... here's the story.

174

1/2 pound lighter than last monday.

Only a slight gain since Friday.

And... I feel GREAT!

Lose Belly Fat

Here are some tips from RealAge.

Most interesting: popcorn and peanuts -- love those, and they are good for you. I've also started eating more pistachios -- they are great sources of fiber and good for protein.

173

that was today. and yesterday!

YAY!

Goal for Monday weigh-in: 175 or less.

173!

and it is ONLY wednesday!

173!

my diet: yogurt and a starbucks caramel macchiato in the morning

a subway sandwich, 2 cookies, diet coke for lunch

light supper -- for example, last night: bowl of oatmeal and then some apples w/peanut butter

plus, exercise in some form every day

Even better!

174 today.

Nearing 173 by Friday, I'm sure!

I feel like I'm in the best shape I've been in in quite some time.

Very exciting!

A Great MONDAY weigh-in

174.5

actually a half pound lighter than on Friday.

So, positive!

Hiking this weekend helped...and careful attention to calorie intake.

I'm starting the week off about 3 pounds lighter than last Monday.

Should be able to end the week at 173.

Maybe even hit the elusive 172 soon!

175

that's today's weight.

and i guess my real maximum?

i really want to be at 172 ...

need to start running ... again!

174.5

yep. Down. a lot. today. diarrhea is the culprit. And of course, that was precipitated by a stomach bug.





yuck. but ... it means i'm not all that hungry. so, good for me. And back to the exact weight I was last week at this time.

Too much Banana Pudding

means i now weigh 177

also, though I walked on Monday night, I did NOTHING yesterday but work and come home and eat and then have pudding.

ugh.

and again

at 176

but last week, I started Monday and Tuesday at 177 on my way down to 173.5 by Friday.

So, right direction.

Plus, banana pudding last night... yum. but mostly sugar and carbs and... yeah.

The pounds are back

176

One pound less than last Monday. But 2.5 higher than on Friday morning.

I didn't run Sunday. But I did mow the lawn on Saturday.

I've got to be starting my weeks at 175 or less.

And I'm still not hitting the elusive 172.

Today...

173.5

The exact weight of last Friday.

So, yeah, I ran a mini-Marathon, celebrated with food and a week off of running, and even with no running this week, i'm back. Exactly 4 pounds lighter than the same time last year.

I'll run again Sunday -- 3-4 miles depending on how I feel.

blew it at lunch

with two servings of banana pudding

ugh

it was good stuff...but too much...i'll be at 175 or higher tomorrow

damn

Today's weight

is 174

174.

2 pounds less than yesterday!

here's the deal: I've been running. Ran a mini-Marathon this past weekend!

but, ate a lot after and gained a bit.

now i'm back. Not running, but lifting weights only this week.

And hoping to hit the elusive 172 soon.

176

but i've been as low as 173.5 just last week.

i'm moving in the right direction... and loving the way i feel!
