Wi**** was better but I will take it. Only got to the gym once. Evening/boredom eating is raising its ugly head. I'm hoping gardening, biking and yardwork will take care of that. This week will be the first time I am on travel since WLS. It will be challenging since it will be 12 hour days and I'm not sure how I will have healthy snacks mixed in.
Have a great week everyone!
My issue with most of the boxer-briefs I've tried is that they always start riding up my legs, so then I end up with a bunch of wadded material up higher on my leg, not getting any real support. I've tried Under Armour and a couple of other brands that I can't recall, and they all do the same thing.
I've switched to wearing compression pants that go down past my knee when I go to karate. This gives me good support, and they don't have a problem creeping up my leg. I'm starting to develop loose skin in my thigh area, and it really flops around when I'm trying to kick if I don't have it locked down with a compression layer under my uniform. My favorite is made by Sub Sports:

The material feels great. I've only worn them a few times so far, so I can't speak yet to durability, but they are pretty well reviewed and I think pretty affordable compared to some of the bigger name brands out there. They also do a version that might meet your boxer-brief type criteria here:

Just note - the package I received came from Germany (even though it's free shipping on Amazon), so it takes a little longer than a usual Amazon order to arrive.

Weigh-in is a day late this week, but can't complain! I was away for the weekend at Disneyland with the kids. Made for some really good walking day**** 25k steps for the first time ever on Friday and Saturday. I took a CamelBak into the park with me to ensure I kept hydrated, and brought my own food with me so I didn't have to get stuck with Disney food. Nice to see a big drop again after a couple weeks of smaller losses.

Next time I see the 179.6 on the scales I'm taking a picture to prove it is showing up! Just not on Weigh In days. 
Working evenings I'm not home in front of the TV but I'm grazing too much on Saturdays when I'm in and out from working on yard.
GF happy camper! The MSU Lady Bulldogs knocked off UConn to make it to the Championship game of the NCAA Women's Final Four. I was working and she was texting the score to me so I knew what was going on with game. Whatever we do today must be home by 5:00 CDST! Go DAWGS!!
Go do your thing!

I was worried that I would be up a few. Maybe there is something to that exercise thing :-) I will use this loss as incentive to keep on exercising. The walk with the wife was nice, but the gym still does not thrill me.
John, enjoy Cleveland! A few months a go I could have told you some good places to eat on the West side. Today they don't fit my menu requirements :-)
Have a great week everyone!

Basically the same, which I'll take. I did well this week with food and exercise despite traveling and extremely long hours. I had to eat some less than awesome things in the airport but was careful to be mindful and only in moderation. We had to escape Boston early due to the Noreaster so plans shifted, planes changed and my 'routine' was a bit upset. I got through and am happy to have some progress.
Have a great week!

I was more mindful with my eating past week, but exercise was a problem. I'm traveling all week in Detroit and Cleveland starting at 0 dark hundred tomorrow which will be tough for me. I need to keep focusing on being mindful about food, and restrict the garbage food. I'll get exercise where I can.
Yesterday was the first day we hit 70 degrees this year. Its tough to keep spring fever at bay. I did a 100 min spin class so I didn't take my bike out, but its ready to go the next time I'm home on a nice day. I need to rack up my miles to get ready for the 150 mile ride in June.
I will be out of town next sunday, so I won't be checking in. Hopefully someone else can get this thread started.
Have a great week!!
