Week 8 Weigh In

Okay friends. I'm back from a delightful vacation. I saw so many friends, witnessed 2 weddings of dear friends, got baby snuggles from my niece, and ran the longest distances of my life (7 and 8 miles). Did I eat too much crap? Of course I did. But damn it, I had fun. That's what matters.

Starting Weight: 247.8 lbs
Last Week's Weight: 251.6 lbs
Current Weight: 251.0
Difference: -0.6 lbs
Net Total: +3.2 lbs

Well, it's a loss. Which is something. It's small. I'm okay with it. I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. I've been focusing on drinking tons of water (and spending plenty of time in the bathroom to prove it).

Half-marathon training is being slightly adjusted this week as TheBoy has drill this weekend (meaning we can't do our normal Saturday long run). Luckily, we both have Friday off from work (thank you, alternative work schedule) -- so we're going to do the 9 miles then. Because I don't have to run on Saturday -- I decided to sign up for a beginners TRX class on Saturday at 8am. My gym is just getting into the TRX business, so the classes are free this week and next. We'll see how it goes. I'm actually kinda excited about it.

A late Week 6 weigh-in

I'm late, it's been busy, blah blah blah.

I forgot when I set this week's goal that my dear TOM was coming this week. So I'm up. Some of it's probably real gain, some of it is definitely water retention.

Starting Weight: 247.8 lbs
Last Week's Weight: 248.4 lbs
Current Weight: 251.6
Difference: +3.2 lbs
Net Total: +3.8 lbs

I'm traveling for the next 10 days, so Week 7's post won't happen. But when I get back, hopefully good news in week 8!

Week 5 Weigh-In

Getting to this post a day late, but I did the weigh-in yesterday. So it still counts.

Starting Weight: 247.8 lbs
Last Week's Weight: 248.6 lbs
Current Weight: 248.4
Difference: -0.2 lbs
Net Total: +0.6 lbs

Okay, so I didn't meet this week's goal of getting the net total to 0. But at least I maintained? I don't know. I just can't get my head back into this game. I'm allowing myself to eat crap regularly and in too big of quantities. I am so annoyed at myself.

So, this week's goal. Quit sucking. Ha. Just kidding. Goal is to lose 1 lb. Because seriously, not so hard.

Week 4 Weigh-In

Well, it's not Tuesday, but it's time for this week's weigh-in. Yesterday I felt bloated and gross from a weekend away. I knew the scale would tell me bad things (I checked. It did.) so I waited until today to do the "official" weigh in for the week.

Starting Weight: 247.8 lbs
Last Week's Weight: 249.8 lbs
Current Weight: 248.6
Difference: -1.2 lbs
Net Total: +0.8 lbs

It's headed in the right direction. But I'm still not doing what I need to be doing to see the numbers I want. And I'm slowly starting to realize that the dresses I bought for the two weddings I'm going to in a couple weeks may not fit how I want them to fit. I really need to buckle down.

I can come up with a million excuses for why I'm not doing well. But this week's primary problem is that I was gone this weekend and didn't get to the grocery store. I'm forced to eat what's in my fridge (not much. mostly apples.) -- which has lead me to buying crap food. I'm not prepared. That's my own fault and there is not a single person to blame but me.

This week's goal is to get the net total in the negative. There's absolutely no reason why I can't.
