Howdy Men,
I hope today finds you all happy and healthy. Lots of buzz here in New England as the Patriots ready themselves for tonights game against the Ravens to decide who will go to the Superbowl. I am not a huge sports fan but living in the 'burbs of Boston you at least have to follow along with the local teams.
Up 2 this week, not a surprise as I was in Montreal this past week for work and they don't call it "The Sin City of the North" for no reason. We all take the good with the bad on this trip and we cannot stay in our zone all the time unfortunately... I will be back to my regular food and exercise routine now and bounce back.
The question has been asked "Where is everybody?". I think the traffic is here but there are a tremendous number of lurkers... We welcome everyone and if you have questions or comments please post up. We are a friendly bunch here and appreciate the company.
Till next week, Brian

I can imagine that with both AFL teams being in such proximity to each there is plenty of hype in the Northeast media. Not much of a 49'er or "Dirty Bird" fan, sorry Mike, so I'll go with the AFL team this year to win the SB.
Made a week at work w/o incident including playing in the dark last night so health issues are good. Snuck off to the indoor gun range to try the new Kimber .45 when I was in Tyler Friday. Oh, yeah! 
Ran a "poll" thread on the SBAAWLS board and had nearly 400 views but only 19 replies so lots of lurkers.
Christmas to take down and walking on the treadmill on tap so hasta la vista. 
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

I am on regular foods now. I was actually afraid to go on regular foods, because that when the temptations start and when I figure I would mess up. Although I did snack on some cheese between meals a couple times and I'm not supposed to do that, I still did pretty well.
My goal for this week is to focus on my three meals a day and not to snack between meals at all. All in all though, I say it was a pretty good week.

Howdy! Things are good. Finally looks like my stall is gone... I am getting at least 2 hours of brisk walking in a day. Over 14000 steps a couple times this week.
Feeling last few days that i am not enjoying the tastes of things I used to enjoy. I'm OK with that so far as I am getting full quickly and eating my protein first always...
I am happy that NHL Hockey is back... Look forward to some football later today!
Take care,
Mark

Morning all...long time no see. I'm down 102 lbs since my surgery on July 20th/12 but have been stalled for the last month. I have my 6 month post op next Tuesday and am looking forward checking in. I have been getting out to the YMCA 3-4 times a weeks for a swim and am getting more in as the time goes on. Sorry for not being as regular as I had hoped posting but it has been a crazy time for me and I don't allway stop to see what every is doing.
I do attribute the people on here for helping me through my surgery and hope maybe someday I can help someone to.
Enjoy the games today but my cheese heads had their hats handed to them last week so now I'm looking to New England to take it all...but what the hell do I know.
Later

@Brian, so right about how getting off our routine leads to not staying in our zone with food and exercise.
@Don, glad you’re back on track health-wise.
@Trent, way to go! Don’t forget H2O & exercise.
@Mark, great progress & keep it up!
@Sampson, we sometimes never know how we impact others, but being engaged in the community not only helps others but ourselves as well. Positive reinforcement and personal accountability are so important to our success.
I made it to the gym five times this week. Hectic work week left no time for the bike trails. This morning we found winter again here in Middle Georgia. No rain in sight until the end of the week, so I hope to make it to the bike trails - work permitting. My muscle mass is starting to rebound even though I still can’t do much strength training due to tendonitis in my left elbow. The elbow is getting better just very slowly. I would have never thought that “tennis elbow” would take this long to heal – 4 months & counting.
It’s halftime & the score is 49ers 14 & Falcons 24 as I post this. Wow, I think this is going to be a nail biter. Ryan & Kaepernick are two QBs leading offenses that are dominating the defenses with the passing game. Both make it look so easy. I really would like to see a Dirty Bird / Pats SB.
Have a great week gentlemen!

Up two lbs. this week- no excuses, just poor choices. I definitely can consume more food than this time last year. And one of the poor choices is trying to do it. Another one is not pulling the trigger on consistent exercise. I'm still not eating the bread products for the most part- besides the occasional tortilla wrap. I did get a nice run in yesterday and looking forward to a couple more this week. Starting a big insulation job today and will keep me in a routine for a couple of weeks. Routine is key, and I'm dealing with a little insomnia which screws up the other end of the day. I guess this is the regain stuff the Dr.s informed me of. No one said it would be easy, and they weren't lying. But I will kick myself in the ass, and get back on track.
