Last week - 183.4

This week - 183.8

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!!

Topic: Using dip after surgery

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

100 miles on a bike in one day? Dude, that rates a "big ol' nasty stinky" on the FART scale!

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.

High weight (June 2011): 328

Pre surgery weight (2/1/17): 283

Last week: 209.4 (Monday)

This week: 207.4

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!

I'm also going to recommend a compression garment.

I've started having a lot of loose skin in my thighs, which has become a challenge in my tae kwon do class. When I do certain kicks, there is a "double" effect - the kick I'm actually doing, and then the flap of the thigh skin that sometimes makes and audible smacking sound.

I started wear compression pants and it has made a huge difference. I do sweat more in class, but I don't mind that so much.

Next up is going to be a compression top - I haven't found one that I like yet. For pants, I like the Sub Sports brand you can get on Amazon - they are pretty reasonable compared to the Nike and Under Armour options.
