Eating was a little more mindful, but there is still a long way to go. Exercise was better, but again more work to do. I'll take the small weight loss, but I gotta do really good this week as we head up to Thanksgiving. By the way, how many of you toward the end of the week think "oh **** I gotta weigh in on Sunday"? I know I do. I like the accountability.
My life is in turmoil again with the second wave of my project at full speed, and thanksgiving weekend here. So much so, I've been blowing off anything fun (aka football weekends). Speaking of which, I'm spending the day today packing to go to Michigan tomorrow. I'll be missing any football today and the weigh in next weekend.
My advice for Thanksgiving for what its worth. Be careful and mindful of what you eat, but don't feel guilty about what you eat. Keep the holiday in perspective, its about family and giving thanks, not about eating. Concentrate more on your family and friends, and less about what you plan to eat.
Most importantly....stay safe....
Have a great week

Yep follow Dr.'s orders and it is all good. Had my one week follow up today and now officially off ALL my sugar meds including all shots AND all my blood pressure meds as well. Loving life!!
You are like me...One week I lost 10 pounds. People were wondering how I did it and was it healthy? All I did was eat right, get some exercise, drink my water and follow the doctor's orders (no sugar, few simple carbs)...
Ok here goes, one week post surgery:
HW- 285
Oct. 19th - 270
Oct 27th - 269
Nov 3rd - 259
Nov 10th - 256
Nov 15th - 243
Steadily going down!!
Well surgery is all over and the Catheter, while not something I want done every day wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I should have never gave it a second thought.I am down 25lbs since I started the pre-op diet and feeling great. I am actually glad I had it as I was pretty tore up after surgery and can't imagine getting up to take a leak. I was glad to lay right there and let it run into the bag. Funny thing I don't remember much about the recovery room but I do remember telling the nurse I was sorry as I had pissed my self, she said no honey you didn't you have a catheter in... lol I remember telling her that several times and feeling real bad about it. Oh well glad I didn't
It's seriously nothing to worry about but I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT! Seriously, it's the worst part of any surgery to me. They generally put it in while your under, so no issue there. But I find it very irritating on the urethra post-op and can't wait to get it out. Then there is the getting it removed part. I can't say that it's painful per se, but it's very uncomfortable to me. They tell you to relax (apparently clenching is bad and can make it hurt much worse) but it is VERY hard to relax when they are about to pull a tube out of your junk!
Ugh, just thinking about it makes me stressed. Which is ridiculous as it's a really innocuous procedure, but something I can't stand.
Congrats on your surgery, and best of luck! Greatest thing I've ever done. I would have a tube pulled out of my junk all over again if need be ;-)

Did not see that coming.
Did not get to watch the "Dirty Birds" pick over the Cowboys carcass because of being on the way home from MS. Saturday night was great despite M-State losing in the last :25 seconds of the 4th quarter when Alabama got the go ahead touch down. It was a much better game than what was anticipated. Kudos to the fans in the stands too. Halftime show was tribute to the Military and very patriotic in nature. Few if any went to the bathroom or snack bar. Arkansas this Saturday in Fayetteville then Ol' Miss on Thanksgiving Day in Starkville.
Duty calls.
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
Didn't post last week...Was about 197-8. Today 196-197...Has the flu this week. That helped a little. Living in California can be nice. Yesterday I decided (after the flu) to take on mowing the front yard. Also did some blowing, raking, and picking up leaves. A good workout post flu. Tomorrow I plan to pick up garbage at a church (big parking lots)...I walk about 2 miles with a grabber...Good easy exercise. There is clean air now, so I don't mind at all (mostly retired...Keeping busy). The 49ers won't go winless this year!! Have a good week. Brian PS The holidays are coming up...Be mindful how you will plan to maneuver around all that food!! Have a game plan or you'll be kicking yourself in early January...
