338 - 12/19/10 (my first stall?)

My first week-long stall, but I'm not worried, because I'm seeing other changes that help me realize I'm "consolidating" this week.  Pants are looser, shirts fit better, walking is easier.  Trust the program, and keep doing what I'm doing.

I'm just coming off my first stall and I'm glad you are still seeing other changes. That's what kept me going during my stall. Apparently the body needs to take a rest or adjust periodically.

I'm amazed at your progress so far and really like your attitude. Keep up the good work.

Had a good week despite missing the gym on Friday. My activity level was still high due to all of the Christmas shopping/walking and burning calories due to shouting and otherwise expressing my road rage at bad holiday drivers.

and burning calories due to shouting and otherwise expressing my road rage at bad holiday drivers.

You too!  Think it is state wide.  Ranted at a few of my fellow motorist in Tyler Friday myself.

It's actually very aerobic -- I get my blood pressure up there and it stays up just like doing cardio. Then for strength training, I lift my fist and lift a finger. Whatever I can do to add exercise to my routine!

I can remember a time, late 70's early 80's, when driving infractions in Houston were capital offenses.  Had several shootings on 610 and 290 back then.  I "encourage" these fine folks come drive like an idiot when and where I'm working but so far no takers!  <<<< me showing where to sign the citation!

Highest Weight:  310 lbs
Surgery Weight:  300 lbs (on 08 Oct 10)
Last Week’s Weight:  249 lbs
Current Weight:  242 lbs

Total Loss: 68 lbs (from highest weight)
Total Post-Surgery Loss: 58 lbs

I’ve now lost the equivalent of an elephant’s penis and a human head.

Looks like the body has kicked into the weight loss again after an expected stall. I really couldn’t believe the scales this morning when it said I had lost 7 lbs. Had to check it 2 or 3 times to make sure it was correct.
