Holding steady so no screams of anguish.
Only worked two days last week and was on vacation for the rest. GF's sister in Dalton, GA was retiring from teaching school after 30 years so went to her retirement party. Nobody was drug off the plane but we made it clear boarding we'd take the $10,000 if they wanted to bump us! GF enjoyed seeing her niece and nephews along with the great niece and nephew. Found out another one is due by the end of the year.
Plan was mowing today but Mom Nature putting the kibosh on that. Guess I'll be on treadmill this afternoon. Work schedule is still fubared. Getting too old for the constant alternating back and forth. Hopefully get some bodies in place soon.
Git 'er done!

A good week, but not easy. I started weighing myself every other day instead of only on Sunday mornings. Also cut back on calories from 1200 to 800 daily after reading on the forums how other men have had success. And the dreaded "E" word. I exercised by being a lot more active this week, as suggested here. Cut the lawn with a push mower instead of the tractor, did a lot of yard work, and walked between buildings at work instead of driving, plus extra walking just to get the steps in.
I hoping I keep up the motivation and see my goal of 180 this year.
Have a great week

A better week with more mindful eating and less snacking. I'm struggling with exercise. The weather here has been crappy, and I haven't been able to get much seat time in the bike. In two weeks, I do my first century ride, followed by 150 miles the weekend afterward. I'm getting a little worried that I'm not prepared well enough. Yesterday, I wasn't able to get outside, so I did about 90 minutes of spin class. Today is about the same, so I'll do another class. It's not the same as seat time though. Between customer visits to my plant, and a three day trip to Toronto this week, workouts will be wea****il next weekend again.
Ughh
Our neighborhood pool opened up yesterday (even though the high temp was 45 degrees :)) meaning the symbolic start to summer is here. I'm looking forward to a great summer. I set a goal of 50 miles a week average to ride. Hopefully I can get a couple of days where I ride the bike to work which should pad that number a little bit.
Have a great week everyone

Late again, was out of town on Sunday. This week's results look good, but I added a couple lbs over the weekend. I was under 215 earlier in the week. My wife and I took our moms to San Diego for the weekend, and eating and exercise were far from ideal. Back at it today!
Have a great week!
I do the 1st workout tonight so fingers crossed I make it through :D. Luckily I am doing it in the privacy of my own home so if I huff and puff like an elephant there is no one to judge me but my family.

Howdy! 
Low impact "beginner" stuff works your core but it can still kick your ass! 
So jumping in for my first weigh in here. I have been hovering around the same weight for weeks. My plan is to start a workout program from beach body called PIYO this week. It's a combination of Pilates and yoga. It it's supposed to be good for beginners to exercise and I definitely fit the bill. Wish me luck.

Great article on this website today. I think I have to admit I am an emotional eater. While this might be obvious to others, I have always denied it. I always said I only eat because I am always hungry. Well, that is not true any more. I find myself wanting to eat even when I am not hungry. Sometimes I eat, and sometimes I don't. I hate that this is a battle. Seems you should not have to battle your own self to get healthy. Seems your body and mind should be on your side, not fighting against a healthier you.
Anyway, back up to 257. It has been like this for the last couple of months, bouncing between 254 and 259.
Oddly, I am not beating myself up about it right now. I am not sure if that is a good thing, or if I am just accepting that this is my final weight. I don't think it is, but I can't be sure.
Anyway, I did update my starting weight on my ticker. I had put my surgery date weight in there as my starting weight before. But I think I was cheating myself of the weight loss in the month prior to the surgery! Is it silly? Yeah, maybe, but it did make me feel better looking at the bigger weight loss number. Now I just gotta make that number move in the right direction.

Two pounds! I'll take it! 
Still got some work to do but good today.
Heading to brother's for Mom's day lunch. Man can cook! Eats too much and needs WLS but can cook.
This is National Police Week when we remember the ones who did not get to go home at the end of their shifts and their loved ones got the most dreaded of knocks at the door. Not able to go to festivities in DC but can put the mourning band on all week and remember friends who have died. Really hits home this year since it was ten years ago that two friends were killed and a third severely injured in a single incident. Actor is waiting on date with the needle. His attorney claims he is mentally incompetent, IQ less than 70, and did not know what he was doing and can't be executed. Bull****!! 
Go do your thing!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
