Winter is taking one last stab at Texas! (me shivering) Woke up to 1/4 inch of snow on the ground but not sticking to the roads.  At least not locally.  Friday the high was near 70!  Glad I threw a few pieces of wood in the wood box.  Me no likey da cold!  Especially since I have no more "insulation"!

2 pounds down for the week.  Not bad considering i couldn't get to the gym nearly as much as i would have liked to.  This is the part that scares me, when life gets in the way and then my routine has to change....but i will try to adapt.  A mandated 58 hour work week is driving me crazy when i'm used to only 40 hrs a week.  But i'm glad to be employed so i shouldn't complain.  7 pounds to go until my personal goal, I can almost see it!!!

A mandated 58 hour work week is driving me crazy when i'm used to only 40 hrs a week.

Does OT begin at 40 hours  or are you hosed till you break 58 hours?

OT begins at 40, so it's good money.  But it's just a LOT of working...and time does NOT go by fast, lol.

Good for you then!  At least on the financial end.  58 hours is a long ass week! Used to work 12's (4-3-3-4) several years ago.  Did not mind occasionionly seeing a 4th or 5th day on a 3 day week for the money but Heaven forbid getting two extra days tacked on a 4 day week.  That thing following me in the door was my ass that I was dragging!

201 this week

I am officially six month post op RNY as of yesterday.   The scale read 238 lbs today. That's  a five pound increase over one week ago. I'm still eating between 650 and 700 calories a day.

But the body fat percentage on the scale read 17.5 percent.  I don't know how accurate that body fat percentage indicator is on that scale... but when I first got the scale a couple months ago, the body fat percentage read around 25%. That number has progressively decreased over the weeks.

The charts say that a healthy body fat for a man my age is between 11 and 22 percent, even though the BMI charts say that a six foot, one inch tall man should weigh no more than 189 pounds. I get my labs and see a doc and nutritionist next month. I'll see what they have to say.

I have increased my daily protein intake to more than 100 grams over the past few weeks.  And this past weekend, I hopped on a bicycle for the first time in 20 years and rode 30 miles.

I had great weather and a great time.

I had great weather and a great time.
