Last week 202.8

This week 201.0

Vacation was pretty low stress. Didn't get much done but had no calamities so I'm calling it a win. Survived Holiday World well enough, though it got expensive buying food every 3 hours or so and tossing more than half of it.

They did have some low carb options but they came with their own challenges. Had a kid's turkey dinner from their thanksgiving themed restaurant, skipped the roll, stuffing, and pie. Used the mashed potatoes and gravy mostly to try to get the turkey coated in gravy, it was still too dry. It wasn't terribly cooked, I just have a really hard time with white meat anymore, which is a total reversal from preop where I had a strong preference for white meat. It's so dry that even drenching it in gravy it's hard to get down. That's kind of a bummer because I always make our thanksgiving turkey and mine does come out exceptionally moist but I'm pretty sure the breast meat isn't going to work that great. Oh well, we'll burn that bridge when we get to it. My DS is getting a bit more forgiving of a few carbs. I had a chicken tender for another meal, and it wasn't great but it didn't turn me into the Hindenberg which I consider a victory. Not everything is 'progress', I've tolerated a little diet soda before so I gave it a whirl (Holiday World has free soft drinks but a limited selection).... and wound up tossing the diet Dew after maybe 4 oz and survived the rest of the day on water.

Tough week in Texas. Not just El Paso but locally as well. Empathy to Dayton, OH.

Storm door finally installed and legal to carry a gun for another year. Was in a low spot with no breeze, hot and humid. T-shirt I had on was soaked through and through. The Honey was very happy I took a bath before we went out to eat!

Have a Great Week!

I figured since this is a men's forum, what the heck.

This week I dipped a hair under 160lbs which is my center of gravity for the past 2 years. After wls, when I hit 200lbs, everyone told me how great I looked. When I dipped under 170lbs, people started giving me farewell hugs and saying we'd meet again some day, "but not yet, not yet!" :)

Exercise has been fantastic, food is a disaster. I always get in vitamins and nutrition but for some reason still eat a lot of crap - mostly sweets. Some day I'll wise up on that.

Running a marathon definitely rates a "big ol' nasty stinky" on the FART scale!

This week 202.8

Have been trying to be good this last week but really didn't think I did all that well. Going to try to keep moving over the vacation. Will be taking a mini excursion (drive down one afternoon, spend the night, then spend at a day at an amusement park, spend another night, then drive back the next morning) so will have to eat out for a couple days worth of meals which is always an adventure.
