Pretty happy with this week's progress! Was good with eating and exercise. I can feel a gout attack coming on in my right toe though, so not sure what next week will bring. I received my green belt on Saturday after testing and passing in tae kwon do - that will knock my activity level up when I go to classes.
I'm also near some big milestones. My lowest adult weight was 202 (that was about 20 years ago), and I'm on the cusp of breaking that... And, of course, getting very near dropping below 200. Hoping to get there by the end of the month!!
Have a great week

Pleasantly surprised this morning. I weighed a pound less than yesterday morning, which was the weight I was going to use today because of a party attended.. Yesterday we went to a friends "Grillfest" (It was called Meatfest, but was changed due to a few wives *****ing) where basically the three food groups were represented. Beef, chicken, and pork :-) I ate good, slow, and the sleeve did its job. My eyes sure were hungry but I kept to small pieces slowly. Also drank a lot of diet lemon aide. OK, I did have a JD and Diet coke later in the evening. Had to tip one with a long time buddy who is a cop in memory of Adam West. . He was inspired by Batman for his career choice. Monday nights my daughter and I go to his house to watch Gotham, and also an episode of the 60's Batman he has on Blue Ray.
Sorry, a little chatty this morning. It's a beautiful day here near Cleveland. I can't wait to get outside.
Have a great week.

Mouth is feeling much better from dental work last week.
Work schedule is straight days this week. Maybe, just maybe, it will stay that way. New guy is fast learner and coming along fine but like with any newbie to any profession he has A LOT to learn!
With schedule settling back down fingers crossed can get exercise routine back on track. Have another issue at work. Eating. Was a two restaurant town not counting the stand alone taco shop, gas station hot dogs/fried chicken and a pizza place. The primary restaurant that offered main line diner type food that gave a greater choice of meals changed hands then abruptly closed after two weeks. Leaves only the Mexican food place or pizza place as options, lest I forget the doughnut shop. All heavy in carbs and I don't do pizza and or doughnuts. I have had better chicken alfredo in a "Dude Food". (Hormel Complete Eat) After four meals this week at the Mexican food place had their fried catfish Friday at lunch. No bueno! 
Guess I'll be brown bagging it or making sure I have a stash of protein bars in the file cabinet.
Y'all have a Great Week!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
Has anyone done dip after surgery? If so, are you experiencing headaches?
18 months ago, my brother had bypass surgery. Currently having vertigo and migraine like every day headaches since August or September of last year. He has used dip for 20 years. He has increased usage this llast year to 2+ cans a day and it has been suggested his headaches and associated symptoms are from nicotine poisoning.
Please respond if you have any information relevant to this.
These are the facts.
Last night I bought two XL Under Armor shirts. Slept in one and wore it under my uniform all day today and I love it. Now I know why women wear a sports bra when active. Lol
Thanks Guys,
Jeff

My first century ride is in the books. Eating was a priority, so I ate. all. the.food. I only had a couple simple goals, the basic one was to finish. Secondary was finishing in daylight. I accomplished both, and actually kept up with the other riders for the most part. I really don't care what my weight is this week, as the NSV is WAY more important. Brett Favre and Bo Jackson both did the 100 mile as well, but they were way ahead of me :).
Next weekend, I am doing a 150 mile bike ride over two days. I'm working hard to recover from last weekend.
Have a great week all.

I'll take another 2 lb drop. Getting very excited to see the scale read below 200 sometime relatively soon. Week was decent in terms of food and exercise, but I didn't get to do as much this weekend as I would have liked in terms of physical activity. Too much other stuff going on. I'll be upping my tae kwon do classes next week as I'm testing for a green belt this coming Saturday.
Have a great week!
