No check in last week as I was busy flying home from Florida. These last two weeks were wildly different. The week I was on vacation, I had quite a bit of exercise from walking around SeaWorld, Discovery Cove and Busch Gardens, along with quite a bit of swimming at Discovery Cove. That was tempered by a crazy bad diet. Last week, the workouts were weak, but my diet was much much better. This week I'm not traveling again, so I'm going to step up the workouts. I need to keep my diet in check again. Next week I start my heavy travel season through June, so I have a lot of work to do. Also, I am most definitely seeing a "Trump Bump" in optimism of our customers which means more business and more travel this year than I was originally planning.
It's fantastic seeing all the new names that are posting on the Men's group. Thanks for stopping by. Speaking only for myself, I like this weekly check in as a way to hold myself accountable. Hopefully we can add to the folks updating here.
Have a great week everyone.
Last week - 180.2
This week - 181.4
Those little gremlins have gotten ahold of my vest and duty rig as well! Long as I don't start letting out on the duty rig I'm okay with number on scale even though I want it to go lower. In a NSV of sorts I recently got four new uniform shirts - still in a medium after six years of working there.
Know cause of uptick on scales. Two birthdays this week meant cake 
or mini SF pecan pies. I'm now officially eligible for the senior discount at IHOP.
Y'all go do your thing!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
Don, your signature line is so true! While starting my two week pre op diet,and while t work, i let out what I thought was an innocent little blast . A short minute later I was in the men's room, cutting my underwear off with a pocket knife so the semi contained contents would not spill. The rest of the day was spent commando. :-) I've kept an extra pair in my car since then.

This was my first week eating non-liquids. I've been eating a lot of salmon. Tried having an egg this morning and it was trouble.
Exercise has been really good this week. I woke up early to do about one Game of Thrones episode on the elliptical machine four days during the week, and my wife and I took our girls on a 4 mile hike on Saturday. Carrying the backpack with all the drinks and jackets was so easy - just another 15 lbs on me when I had more weight on me than that a month ago.
I have my first business trip since the surgery startIng tomorrow. I will probably be heavily reliant on protein shakes Monday through Friday.
I already weigh less than I did when I got married in 2005. Tried on my tux from the wedding last week and added it to the donation pile. So happy with my decision!!

The hard truth is my eating has been awful at best. I have been trying to control it but to no avail. I am going to try to go back to the star****er, logging, vitamins..not going to focus on scale but on following the program of post op WLS.
I had gone in last Wednesday for an incision hernia. It was not good. Dr informed me that I didn't have a hernia but may be an old hernia that is the problem. Going in to have a CAT scan to see how to proceed. Now I have a hump where incisional site is that is agitated ?
