Been there done that on the butt cam. It is no fun, but it beats cancer. So two weeks ago I was 258 1/2. Last weekend I was marooned in NYC with no access to a scale. I estimated I was about the same weight. Boy was I off! Free booze with lots of encouragement for everyone to partake, a diet controlled by the owner of the company, and lots of really bad stuff to eat caused me to balloon up to 262 1/2. 
The good news is, returning to my regular diet and activity put me right back at 258 1/2 again this morning. It is a good lesson on lack of vigilance. It is also a lesson that you can go off the rails once in a while if you are able to get right back on. It is the getting back on that is key. If a wild weekend turns into a week, and then a month, the next thing you know, 25 lbs will come back. Right now I am 3 1/2 lbs above my lowest weight ever, and that was a mark I hit for all of one day.
Skin surgery is upon me, so that number will be changing quickly, although it is a one shot deal. I will be sure to report in on the results of that. Have a good week everyone!

Colonoscopy Prep last week.......The results are self evident above. The test is tomorrow, and I still have one more round of prep this afternoon. Yay.
Fall is here. The first freeze was Friday night, and high temps are struggling to get to the 50's. I'd like to go out on the bike a few more times, but given this prep, I'll need to wait till next weekend. I also need to get out and get some fresh apples before the season is over.
Michigan got a scare yesterday but pulled through. I think they needed that. They better get their head out of their keister before they get to the meat of the schedule. I was hoping to watch the Lions-Cowboys, but its not broadcast in my area darn it.
Have a great week all
Well I've missed a few weeks logging my Sunday weigh-ins, but I'm back now.
Start of 6 month pre-op diet (2/14/18): 320 lbs.
9/24/18: 284.2 lbs
VSG scheduled for 11/26/18
196 last week and this week. I had a high of about 300. Not getting much sleep. I have a problem with sleeping pills...Become not effective. So I drop everything and reboot my system for about a week. About 4 hours of sleep at night...Not good for my heart. I try and work outside quite a bit. But we haven't had rain in this area of California since about May...A lot of air pollution. So I limit my work out there. Hey Carolinas...Send us SOME of that rain please. Notice I said some...Just to be sure on that. 49ers and Raiders are a combo 1 win and 5 losses so far. Going to be a loooong season for pro football here in Northern California. Cal is 3-0...But that will change soon. If they make a minor bowl at the end of the season it will be a win for that team. Later, Brian
Congrats!

Last week I was at 258 1/2. Yesterday I was 259. I had no access to a scale today, but given the variations I?ve had lately I?m guessing I?m still close enough as don?t matter. I?m a country bumpkin. When the leaves are on the trees, we can?t see any of our neighbors, most of whom are over 100 yards away at least. This was my view this morning, attending a business function for the Mrs. the diet is off the rails for a couple of days, but I am not concerned. It'll be back to the salt mine tomorrow.
I am a tennis widower this weekend as my wife is off with friends watching the Laver Cup for the last three days 12 hours a day. I will watch 1 tennis match (preferably the shorter women matches) but 12 hours is way too much tennis for me. Baylor won and looked good yesterday but the schedule is about to get really difficult starting with Oklahoma next week.

Been fighting hunger and mindless eating recently. I'm determined to keep an eye on it, but I can see it is no walk in the park.
Good week to all

Broke down and went car shopping again. While normally I would go "new" new off the lot I opted to take the "pre owned" new route this time. It was the model I wanted, color I liked, was a returned 2016 lease car with less than 23,000 miles and deal was within tolerances. Was after an upgrade to a truck or small SUV from 4-door coupe and frankly I'm too frugal to justify spending for brand new, eating the depreciation in the process, to have it sit in a building collecting dust, spider webs and mouse crap since I have a city vehicle to drive during the week. Has all the bells and whistles. First road trip will be this weekend to Starkville, MS.
Football! 
Mississippi State was looking too much to this weeks game against Florida with former Head Coach Dan Mullens and was not concentrating on last night's game with Kentucky. Were handed their butts 28-7. Alabama handed A&M theirs as well as LSU giving back La. Tech theirs and the Gators at the Volunteers. Congrats to Texas Tech for beating OSU for the first time in several years. Dallas and Seattle this afternoon.
As always need to work on the eating and exercise fronts. Short week so will be another wonky one in those regards.
Have a Great Week, Gents!! 
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
