I rewarded myself getting back to 170 by opening a bag of "crack in a sack" AKA:  Peanut M&M Snack Mix.  Wroops.

As the title implies I have a case of the "man flu" or a doozie of a sinus infection.  One of the two  It has not kept me home from work, and it won't tomorrow, but yesterday was a stay inside, watch it rain, stare at the football games on TV, graze on "crack in a sack" type of day and drank 72 ounces of water.  Today, different story.  Got to do a some domestic engineering since Jan is working.  Will still keep the water handy. 

Aggies beat the Rebels, M-State won, Baylor is 5-0 and drum roll please TEXAS beat OU!  Hope the Cowboys win over the politically incorrect named team from our Nation's Capital.  They want a new name.  The "Ineffective Electeds" comes to mind.  Team mascot would have to walk around with it's head up it's ass. 

Go make it a great week gents!

Morning All,

I'm back on track and moving down again. We had lots of rain here too Friday and most of yesterday. The Michigan Penn State game was crazy to watch 4 0T's. It's about time Texas stuck it back to OU lol. My Seahawks lost last week here's hoping they bounce back this week against Titans. Any have a great week everyone. Here's hoping I don't go back and stall again this week.

Thanks

Shane

140:Total Weight Loss

Slight uptick, but will take it as it as my eating was not great nor exercise routine for the week

I have decided for each week I am going to try to focus on one are of my WLS journey. As such, I am going to work on water intake this week. I know I am supposed to get 64oz daily, but in all honesty am lucky to get in 1/2 that. This week I am going to ensure to get at least 64oz per day, STARTING TODAY.

Just a reminder to us all, this is journey is not a sprint, but rather a marathon!

 

 

Have a good week!

Bill, you have obviously done great with your loss. Wondering how tall you are? I'm at 5' 11" and sitting at about BMI of 31%.

Hi Chrispy_man:  I am very proud of my WLS journey overall. In terms of height, I am 5'9" and my BMI is 29-30, depending on the day and my weight...I recently found out my Body Fat is at 21%.

@Don, hope you kick the “man flu” soon.

@Shane, excellent progress!  Stalls are part of the process.

@Crispy, good job!  Yeah, the water weight / glycogen stores in your muscles can easily vary your weight +/- 5 lbs from week to week when you’re exercising strenuously.

@Bill Mac, good plan!  Water is the lubricant that keeps your going.

    My stats this week:

           High weight:  392 lbs
Pre-op Weight 4 Aug 09:  377.5 lbs
      1st Surgiversary:  241.0 lbs
      2nd Surgiversary:  212.5 lbs
      3rd Surgiversary:  217.0 lbs
      4th Surgiversary:  214.0 lbs
             Last week:  218.5 lbs / ? body fat / ? lbs muscle mass
             This week:  218.4 lbs / 19.6% body fat / 167.0 lbs muscle mass

So glad the trip to SoCal for the OH2013 conference didn’t get me off track!  I’m status quo weight-wise.  I made it to the gym on 3 days (1 day cardio & 2 days Physioslow strength) last week and did pretty well mindfully eating during the week – even there in Anaheim!

My Vols and the Falcons are off this week so at least we won’t have another one in the L column – the Vols face off against South Carolina next Saturday and the Falcons will host the Buccaneers next Sunday.  Beautiful weather here in Middle Georgia.  No rain on the horizon until later in the week.

Be safe & have a great week gentlemen!

Mike,

Are you back to work or stuck in limbo land with the other Federal employees?

I'm back at work but in limbo to some extent about whether I'll get paid for Oct 3rd & 4th.

Checking in from NC... 

355 is where I started this journey, August 2011.

196.x this morning after a week off with NO exercise!  IT band seized on my long run last weekend and took a rest hoping to let it recover.

This morning, did a 5k (3.x miles and change) and having issues with it again.. sigh.  Trying to decide if I want to go to a Voodoo Doctor to get their help (Chiropractor) or just do the various physical therapy routines on my own.

My marathon is in 2 weeks.. things are not looking at the moment sigh.
