That's a little better than last week.
I have my annual bariatric check up Friday. Bloodwork tomorrow, so I'll be fasting after 6 tonight.
Don, you made me think of Southern cookin'
Mother in law coming over for dinner. Her roots are from down South (Alabama) I always blame her Southern cooking on my obesity :-)
Today's dinner: Roast beef, green beans and bacon, mustard greens, and black eyed peas. Not a bad carb in the mix!
Good week to all

Cowboys and Pats this afternoon. Could get interesting. Then again Cowboys could catch an ass whooping if not careful. Mississippi State beat up on ACU yesterday. Told the Mrs. because she went to State I went to ACU I was wearing a plain white t-shirt and cheer for whoever was on offense. Worked okay. Can put my maroon back on for the Egg Bowl Thanksgiving night when they play Ol' **** in Starkville. Leaving Tuesday after work. Alabama, LSU, Georgia all winning. Nice work by Arizona State to beat #6 Oregon, Oklahoma held off TCU and the Baylor Bears devoured "Bevo" (U of Texas longhorn mascot) in Waco. Starting Thanksgiving Day this is my favorite week of college football. Rivalry week!
If you are traveling pack your patience with fellow motorist or dealing with TSA lines at the airports. Little reminder to eat like you should despite the temptations that will be there. Had office Thanksgiving dinner last week. Brisket and bar-b-que beans! Only in Texas!
Have a Great week you bearers of the prostate gland!!

Bad break for Roll Tide QB. Heard he cannot really be diagnosed for the draft until at least 6 months? A 10-15% possibility that he can not play in the NFL, and regardless he will drop in the draft. The good thing is that they got him operated on almost immediately. But a Dr on the WFAN Radio show said he cannot play for at least a year?

1. As it has often been said the surgeries fix our stomachs but not our heads.
2. ANYBODY who says to you that WLS is the "easy way out" it is an automatic green light to kick their ignorant ass!!
So true. Goes to show that this is NOT the "easy way out" as many say. It's a tool that helps us and gave us a boost but man do we have to work the program! It really is a struggle about choices not only every day-but every meal! Our stomach may have changed but our old mindset is still here! Some days we win, some days we lose-just gotta hope we have more wins than losses!

This is what I appreciate about this group. We share that we all are human and have our ups and downs. I was feeling pretty bad about the gain this week, even though I knew I had it coming. Seeing that we all are in the same boat gives me strength and a boost of willpower.

No good. Trending in the wrong way! Challenging week! Got off of I.F. and ate like a bandit! Amazing how this time of year pushes our body to just want to eat! But I'm not going to make excuses I am what I am-just gotta do better. It's not even that I merely ate a large quantity, but man oh man did I eat the wrong foods!!! Ice cream, cookies, cake, sandwiches, chips, bagels, a LOT of carbs!! It's almost like I WANTED to sabotage myself and all this while watching 600 lbs life! Going to gym today with my son. Journey of 1,000 miles begins with the first step but I should have started this yesterday. Don't want to get back to that old habit of only being able to start things on a Monday?! But at least we now are taking accountability-need some motivation guys!

I guess losing almost two pounds is the positive side of having a good case of the "drizzlies" while on the road this weekend. Going to blame that on too much fried food on trip. Hopefully "normal" eating will solidify things.
M-State lost but was not a total surprise. Alabama quarterback had his feet crossed when he got tackled resulting in a serious, gruesome broken hip. Flew him to Birmingham on a helicopter but also saw where he was flown from there to Houston for surgery. Skipping game this weekend against ACU but will be there for the Egg Bowl with Ol' Miss on Thanksgiving Day. Cowboys held on to beat Detroit.
Back to reality this morning. 
Have a Great Week, Guys!

Had a trip to the emergency room this week. Shooting pain in my abdomen and back. During the 5 and 1/2 hour wait to be seen it resolved itself. The actual emergency room had a bed but listening to the other patients scream and moan was like one of Dante's levels of hell. To medical students spent 45 minutes looking for my left kidney with the ultrasound machine.
Baylor's loss last night was crushing.
Have a great week guys! Looking forward to some time off at Thanksgiving!

+2lbs from last week.
I've been up and down in about a 7 pound range week to week but generally stabilize back to normal when I get enough sleep and follow a normal routine.
I'm still trying to get a business off the ground which seems close. I'm at a point where my prior severence package last year and a couple of months of past consulting fees are used up, so hopefully I get my new business funded soon.
In the meantime, the JETS won 2 games in a row, and still waiting for James Dolan to die so the Knicks can move on.
Have a great week!
