Not bad this week. I'll take it. Sorry for the longer post, but here's what change I made...

I'm not Catholic, and I've never worried about giving anything up for lent. Last week however on fat Tuesday, my wife decided to buy Paczki for us. I was pissed. These are calorie bombs, and I didn't want them in the house. Nevertheless, there they were. So we ate them. Afterward, I was explaining that I needed her support, and she offered that she would give up sweets for lent. OK, I'll do that too. That evening, I decided to double down, and made a conscious decision to eliminate all night time snacks for lent as well. What the heck, the worst thing that can happen is I feel hungry at night - AND I KNOW THAT"S ALL IN MY HEAD ANYWAY!

So, no sweets and no snacks for the last four days of the week. The results are encouraging.

Have a great week!

Last week - 181.4
This week - 182.6

Not good! Stress eating. Have gotten the time on treadmill to under 74:00 but have been off of it last couple of days. Need to get on it today.

Stressing over work and maybe making a change. Part of stress was that I can not find my resume' on computer! Guess when I transferred things from old HP to new HP it went off into electronic oblivion. Managed to get a hard copy from my personnel file at work but it is six years old. Really needs updating when five of your six references are either retired, dead or now have criminal histories!

Get 'er done!

Writing resume's sucks. Good luck with the new job opportunity.

I haven't really decided if I want to throw my hat into the ring. It is a former employer I left 16 years ago and may be jumping from the frying pan into the fire trying to go back!

Last week 232

Today 229.9

I need to get exercise in.

High weight (June 2011): 328

Pre surgery weight (2/1/17): 283

Last week: 250.5

This week: 245.9

Didn't get to weight myself at all this week as I was away for work through last night. I was so busy I had little time for more than protein shakes, and when I did eat, it was pretty good - just small portions of fish. Exercise came only from high step counts, but I had several 15k+ days.

Have a great week!

Business travel is a double edged sword. If you develop good habits early, and work on healthy options, it can be a huge benefit (for me at least). Its very easy to make bad choices and blow both calories and macro's.

Great job with the travel so soon after surgery.

Thanks! I have another short trip coming up next week. Hope to maintain the healthy eating.

Also I forgot to mention I get to start back at karate tomorrow. Kind of excited for that. Great form of exercise that doesn't feel like exercise at all to me.
