Another week in the right direction. I think I'm eating a little better, and for sure I'm getting more activity. My legs are pretty sore after the two big bike rides last week, and next weekend I have my 150 mile ride so I need to recover as best as I can this week.

Summer started in full swing this week. We had our first 100 degree day since 2011 on Memorial Day. Looking at the weather this week, its going to be fantastic for early June. Time to get outside, and load up on vitamin D.

Have a great week.

Good morning, all, and thank you for the welcome messages last week.

One of the many items on my pre-surgery list was to get the sun damage on my face treated. I have been applying a dermatology cream to treat it and my right cheek looks like somebody took a belt sander to it.

Happily, my last application was Thursday and I am hoping to start healing this week.

Last week 309.4

This week 308.0

Worked a lot outside and ate well, but stayed above 200 all wee****il today. Funny thing is yesterday I
drank over a gallon of decaff iced tea (sugar free) and thought for sure weight would be up. Pleasantly
surprised. Got some wood splitting, and lawn cutting to do today. It is beautiful out right now!

Good week to all.

Last week: 186.6

This week: 184.8!!

Cue the choir: HALLELUJAH!!

Have not seen sub 185 in a while. Working evenings has one major perk - very little or no grazing when I'm home. Have been doing good on getting in the walking every other if not every day. Broke 66:30 Friday. Working late in the heat of the day has me slamming the water too.

Speaking of heat - first 100 degree day since 2011! We can't go seven months, much less seven years, without a 100 day! Hit 100+ at tail end of May and the Summer equinox is still a little over two weeks away. May not rival the Summer of 1980, hottest on record, but likely to give it an honest effort or so it seems this early in the year. Willis Carrier is the South's best friend!

Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate!

Flatline for me. My weight stayed unchanged at 263. Well, it did change. I know that since I weigh every day. But while I've been on both sides of 263 this past week, I was right on the dot again this morning.

Hey all...Don't post much if I feel heavy. Got on the scale on Sunday...202.5 I'll take it. High was about 300 pounds. Thought I was about 207-210...But I've been active...I don't eat crazy, but not always good. See the cardiologist in 1/2 an hour. I've seen my labs...All are very good. The strange stat is that my carbon dioxide is high...This is the 4th time it tested high in 2 years. And each time it's a little high out of range. I wonder if it because I hyperventilate when they draw the blood?? I'll see if I need to exercise more (total lung capacity) to get that down. Have a good week. My back is better, but still need to do the exercises...Go to the PT in 2 days. Brian

PS Just got back from the doctor...Everything is good. The CO2 is because I don't drink water for my fasting labs...He said not to worry about it. I got on the scale...Put the big weight at 200...Started moving the smaller balance weight down...down...down. We had to move the big weight to 150 then over to the 50 pound weight to 50. I was 200 with my clothes on!!! No water retention. Doing real good.
