Sunday Weigh-In

Last week:  175.2

This week:  173.4

Much better.  Had been lower this week, 172.0, but such is the normal daily fluctuations that occur on this journey.  Had to sort of "vampire" three nights/evenings this week.  Not all night but late enough to put me out of whack on sleeping etc.  Could get on treadmill before work and I was not home grazing so there were some pluses to it.

Have a great week gents!

346: All time high 7/1/10 - BMI = 52

146 Total Weight Loss

Apparently what goes down comes back up.  Up 2 lbs this week, but ok with that at I was away for the weekend at a men's spiritual retreat. A lot of heavy foods but tried to eat as mindfully as I could!

Conversely, exercise was great! Ran 5 out of 7 days~~

Pats fan...looking forward to the AFC Championship next week!!

@Don, we all pay for getting out of our routines – one way or another!  Hope yours continue in the positive direction.

@Bill Mac, keep up with the exercise!  Good luck to your Pats!

    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:  221.6 lbs / 23.3% body fat / 161.6 lbs muscle mass
             This week:  220.6 lbs / 22.9% body fat / 161.8 lbs muscle mass

I made it to the gym 5 times (3 carido & 2 strength) and did pretty good mindfully eating this past week.  My back is about 95% recovered with a little occasional twitch.  I’m down another 1 lb overall and status quo muscle mass.  My %body water has stabilized so I need to continue the workout regiment and caloric restriction to get rid of the couple lbs visceral fat I picked up over the holidays.

There have been some nail-biters in the NFL playoffs.  Whowouldathunkit - the Colts big comeback win (45-44) over the Chiefs!  Who are your picks for SB XLVIII?  Though I really like Denver and Peyton Manning (UT ’97), I predict Patriots for the AFC and Niners (sorry Shane) for the NFC.

Be safe & have a great week gentlemen!

All my dogs, Cowboys/Saints, are out of the fight for this year.  I like your reasoning regarding Peyton Manning and for argument sake I'll take Denver to win all the marbles.  Being the Cowboys fan I am It would be blasphemous for me to ever cheer for the Forty Niners or the Seahawks.   Even though many, many, many moons ago a football player that I knew from my alma mater was the Seahawks deep snapper for a few seasons after he graduated college.

Up a few lbs this week. My Seahawks are still hanging in there. I managed to go for runs 5 days this week and get in weights 2 days. Other then that nothing

new to report. We had a mini thaw to our ice age here in ND this weekend it go all the way up just about 30.

Have a great week

Have not weighed in a week, have not exercised (much) in a week, but on the good side, Tax Season is here and I am buried!?  (Well, good to have a job and lots of work anyway.)

So football season is over now (well for me it ended after the Panthers lost to the Niners) so I am looking forward to baseball, spring training for my Braves is less than 30 days away!   :)

Skipped another week of push ups sigh, did work on my dips just a little bit and set up everything for my body weight workouts.  Pull up bar with strap, boxes for dips and mats for my push ups and squats.  The only issue was deciding to get another hour of sleep instead at 555am!!  So, maybe tomorrow...

Really jonesin for a run too....words that I never thought would come out of my mouth....
