Sunday Morning Weigh In - Happy Thanksgiving!

415: Highest
394: Start of my journey (7/15/11)
340: Day of Surgery (9/27/11)
304: Last week
299: This week

Finally below 300 for the first time in 4 years and only the second time since I graduated high school and it feels good. I am about half way to my goal weight. I am still working on the C25K. I am still doing the first workout until i can do that one comfortably. Once I can do that i will continue with the program. I only got out and ran twice this week as it has been hectic at work. I am looking forward to the upcoming 4 day weekend to relax from the stress from work. We are doing a small dinner at home on Thursday, just the wife, baby and I. figured it would be easier to deal with my first holiday post surgery sans the big family.

This has been kind of an odd week. I got some good walks and exercise in but on the other hand I ended up dumping quite a bit as well. First of all it was on two slices of ham. Bleh. Then, and I don't know if it is possible, but I felt like I was dumping on just a few drinks of water.
Either way I am feeling very tired of having this steady pain beneath my breast bone and major repetitive burps. My wife says I sound like a burping machine gun.
Over all I am feeling pretty good with a 3 pound weight loss. That's over 20 pounds in the month after my surgery.
Happy Thanksgiving to my American Bro's. We had a pretty good one a month ago.

Another week of 0 weight loss but 1 more inch of waist loss.  This happened back in September as well.  Stalled for a couple of weeks but went down a full pant size. Go figure.

On the other hand, I bought two pairs of pants from a regular (not big and tall) store for the first time in 10 years!
