Holy weight loss batman. Where in the world did 7 pounds go last week? I have spent the entire week gearing up for my daughter's birthday party today and my Blue Jays team party (combined) so I think that all of the yard work has kicked my weight loss back into gear. Let's see, I stained my 20' x 16' deck, painted my shed, cleaned up the yard, adjusted and cleaned the pool, and on and on and on. Now I see where the weight went. Awesome to be able to do all of these things with very little effort now. Don't get me wrong, I was pooped at the end of each day but just to be able to accomplish these things in a reasonable time frame is incredible. I stained that same 16' x 20' deck four or five years ago and it literally took me 4 painstakingly long days to fini**** I literally did the whole thing, including powerwashing, in about 8 hours total. And it was a much better quality job this time!!
Anyway, off to do some last minute party prep and go pick up tables, chairs and a big jumpy house before I can relax for guest arrival at 1pm. We are expecting over 100 guests. We don't do anything small!! Well, maybe except me now!!
Have a Great Week,
Mike

Mike, you are a funny man! Doing things small now huh?
Have a great party today, you have alot to celebrate!
I hope everyone is out doing fun summertime things this weekend... I am headed to Maine today to watch my sister-in-law jump out of a perfectly good airplane. She (we) are celebrating her graduation from Umass with her Masters in Nursing. She is in her 50s and never stops... I wish I were so driven!
Loss of a pound this week, I'll take it considering I have not really focused on either my eating or exercise... seems like every day is packed with stuff that has to get done and my concentration is out the window... Next week will be better!
Have a great day you bunch of losers, see you next week!
Hug your kids, let them know they are loved and keep them safe the best you can...

Holding where I want to on the scales. Was a little lower a couple days ago but have eaten well and gotten plenty of hydration since then.
Okay, not to steal anything away from any body's WLS success this week but last night while at Outback for supper I dropped down and asked the GF to marry me. Of course she said "yes". No wedding planned for six months to a year but the asking is done.

Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
Congradulation on your successful supper at the Outback. I suppose we will all be innvited to the wedding, right? LOL
Weight wise I am moving in the right direction. I was 280 yesterday which is 61 lbs. from my all time high. My trouble is the walking and bike riding (stationary). Although I've lost a lot of weight I have not really noticed the difference in my lungs. When I do any exertion my oxygen level drops into the mid to lower 80's without oxygen. Exercising while on the oxygen is getting harder and harder. I try to increase my speed and distance when I am walking on the treadmill and it just seems to really bother my lungs. I can only go for between 7-10 minutes as it is. I've got COPD and it isn't going to really get any better. That's what I get for 47 yrs of smoking. Enough from me.
Hey Mike have a great party today and wish the little one a HB from all of us. Hope everyone has a great summer weekend.
