Well schedule at work is "normalizing" again. At least it is back to M-F. Two evenings and three days. New guy is own his own Wednesday. Means I have one day off this weekend. Today. Sam's run or yard work? Sam's s is air conditioned. 
Local café reopening has not hurt me too much on the scales. It's just too hot to eat. Not getting sick just don't want to eat. Drinking water like a fish.
Regardless of the political situation in this country - FREEDOM is not, nor will it ever be, FREE!
Have a Safe and Happy Fourth of July!!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
Thank you on a couple of levels, first and foremost for your sacrifice for our freedoms. I can tell a little of what you've gone through just from knowing a number of vets.
I am dragging out my dumbbells and starting up my upper body exercises again. I have an image to maintain and all. 
Bill, while I might not be up as far along in years as you I have to say it is most certainly the loss of weight. I'm a 37, partially disabled vet since 03 with 2 really boogered up legs. But I always had lots of extra strength in my arms and since having my surgery on Halloween last year I have lost so much power. Seriously changing a tire was a issue, heck even doing an oil change was getting close to struggle except for the fact I an fit under the vehicle now with out jacking it up, lol. I miss the strength but dont miss the other health issues with the extra weight. Anyway its nice to see you still put in the effort to be helpful to strangers.
I'm sure your generation has all sorts of complaints about my generation but just know my generation has so many with this next gen too. Good luck with the extra protein. I do it myself when I feel a little weaker.
Start of 6 month pre-op diet (2/14): 320 lbs.
6/18: 283 lbs
6/25: 287 lbs
This weigh-in was my 1st true reality check since I started this journey in February. My first significant gain (up 4 lbs) and a reminder of how I have struggled with weight loss the past. Not sure what it was exactly. When I concentrate, I can get myself down to the mid 280s, but it seems like getting beneath that range is where I have troubles. The heat has kept me a little less active with my lunchtime walks, but I'm still working out most mornings. I'm still keeping my calories down, but I did have more carbs and less protein that what I had been eating previously. I need to focus on my eating this week and make smarter choices. Disappointed but I know that its all mental. If I can't do it now, I know I wont be able to do it after VSG so I must get my head straight again. I only have 2 months to go before I can apply for surgery to be covered by my insurance company.
I was traveling yesterday so I couldn't weigh in. Today Wasn't bad at 213, up about .4#
Two more weeks at home, then I start traveling a little bit again. I'm a getting a little bored with the new job, so getting out and working with people will be a welcome change.

It was a great week. Eating well, getting lots of work done. Yesterday morning I was at 195. Yesterday evening was a buddy's pig roast. I did well eating mostly meat, but maybe a little too much of the delicious salty crispy skin.
Good week to all.

Nice little drop there for half a day's labor. Granted it is a little "balmy" here. 
Balmy as in 95+ degrees with little humidity thrown in for extra measure. Have to be careful on the eating front especially at work. Mind you where I work we've only had one eatery - Mexican. Now the "café" is back open. Frankly too damn hot to want to eat food anyway. Tried it twice. Hamburger steak was little too grisly and fish was little greasy but edible.
Have to see what happens schedule wise next week. Hopefully I'm done ghosting new guy.
Go forth and have a Great Week!

There are no levers of power, at least on this sub forum. Beware the flying monkey squadron on some of the others though.
Last week I was on the road, so I only had a guess of about 264, which is close to where I was (have been) for a while. Today I was 262 even. Yesterday I hit my lowest ever of 261 for the third time. I've been pretty stable at 263-266 since January. My surgeon told me I didn't really have anything more to lose at my 18 month checkup in April. So I am content.
I am a little shaky on the levers of power here but trying to start the weekly thread.
I meant to spend the weekend treating and painting my garage floor but a busy work week put those plans on hold. Ended up with kind of quiet weekend and saw Han Solo last night.

Hope everyone had a great Father's Day.
I am the father of two girls and I spent my Father's Day exactly how I wanted to. Sleeping in till 11 AM and then not leaving the house at all. Just a few household chores and relaxing with the family.

Did a little better with diet and exercise this past week but not as well as I can. I'm really focusing hard this week as I have my monthly appointment next week with my weight management doctor. I'm halfway through my 6 month pre-surgery program!!
