No good. Trending in the wrong way! Challenging week! Got off of I.F. and ate like a bandit! Amazing how this time of year pushes our body to just want to eat! But I'm not going to make excuses I am what I am-just gotta do better. It's not even that I merely ate a large quantity, but man oh man did I eat the wrong foods!!! Ice cream, cookies, cake, sandwiches, chips, bagels, a LOT of carbs!! It's almost like I WANTED to sabotage myself and all this while watching 600 lbs life! Going to gym today with my son. Journey of 1,000 miles begins with the first step but I should have started this yesterday. Don't want to get back to that old habit of only being able to start things on a Monday?! But at least we now are taking accountability-need some motivation guys!

I guess losing almost two pounds is the positive side of having a good case of the "drizzlies" while on the road this weekend. Going to blame that on too much fried food on trip. Hopefully "normal" eating will solidify things.
M-State lost but was not a total surprise. Alabama quarterback had his feet crossed when he got tackled resulting in a serious, gruesome broken hip. Flew him to Birmingham on a helicopter but also saw where he was flown from there to Houston for surgery. Skipping game this weekend against ACU but will be there for the Egg Bowl with Ol' Miss on Thanksgiving Day. Cowboys held on to beat Detroit.
Back to reality this morning. 
Have a Great Week, Guys! 
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

Had a trip to the emergency room this week. Shooting pain in my abdomen and back. During the 5 and 1/2 hour wait to be seen it resolved itself. The actual emergency room had a bed but listening to the other patients scream and moan was like one of Dante's levels of hell. To medical students spent 45 minutes looking for my left kidney with the ultrasound machine.
Baylor's loss last night was crushing.
Have a great week guys! Looking forward to some time off at Thanksgiving!

+2lbs from last week.
I've been up and down in about a 7 pound range week to week but generally stabilize back to normal when I get enough sleep and follow a normal routine.
I'm still trying to get a business off the ground which seems close. I'm at a point where my prior severence package last year and a couple of months of past consulting fees are used up, so hopefully I get my new business funded soon.
In the meantime, the JETS won 2 games in a row, and still waiting for James Dolan to die so the Knicks can move on.
Have a great week!

Not what I wanted, but was expecting it. With the cold blast there was some mindless eating out of boredom. Then last night a party at a friends house. I ate way too much without realizing it. So I paid the price this morning.
Cooking up some cabbage soup right now, it will be a healthy in between meal snack.
Good week to all

Trying to get back in the swing of things. Between a breakdown and some brutally cold weather it was a challenging week. Had an employee meeting at the warehouse so had to make the trip 6 times this week. Glad my regain team seems to have ceased. Hope all are having a great weekend.
Yea, that's it, that darn tissue paper! 
I'm ok with it. I'm in a battle and sometimes I'll advance and sometimes I'll retreat but hopefully in the long run, I'll make inroads in this battle one inch, one pound at a time. The key is to be honest and accountable so that I never get back to where I was before. In all of us, our overeating is more than just a hunger issue. So journaling, sharing, taking accountability helps us to pinpoint not just what we are eating, but even more- so what's eating us!

I was also shocked to see the Jets win, and happy to see Alabama lose. Both were competitive games, albeit battle for the college top spot vs bottom with my NFL home teams.
I wouldn't worry about the weight - the .2 could just be tissue paper stuck to your butt. I usually allow for a couple of pounds variation as normal range based on hydration levels.

It's impossible to follow the story due to all the pop up ads and junk media blasting. I will say it's great they took off the weight w/o wls, but I'll wait for the follow-up story 5 to 10 years later to see what they look like and how much willpower remained in their day to day life.
