Hi All.
I thought i posted last week, but i created a blog entry instead. Fortunately, it didn't end up on the bottom of the home page. I am still not certain I am doing this correctly.
I am going to have RNY sometime in late summer. For now I am going through my six month pre-op program and trying to develop good habits.

I'll take it! Wonky schedule has it benefits. Next two weeks have straight evenings so no back and forth. Given the new guy to finish since we have to get him out on his own. We lost another one to a larger department. In a six man operation when one goes it causes issues. When you're two down - you have ISSUES! Guy that is leaving is on a well planned in advance Alaskan cruise with his Mrs. Leaves working for us. Comes back working for them!
Headed to triple digits here by next weekend. Felt like triple digits yesterday walking around the local car show. When you feel the sweat running down your legs under your pants and the waist band on pants is soaked - you're hot.
Have a Great Memorial Day Weekend and remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for YOUR freedom!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

A good week, even though it was not reflected on the scale this morning.
Enjoying the decent weather and the much needed yardwork.
The flag is up and waiving in the breeze in remembrance of our fallen.
Peace to all.

Please take some time this weekend to remember all those who gave their lives so we can enjoy the freedoms we seem to take for granted every day.
I wish I could chalk my weight loss to clean living, but frankly I have no idea why I dropped two pounds. I was able to bike about 55 miles, and take a couple spin classes, but I doubt that would have countered my eating. I'm not looking a gifthorse in the mouth. Here's to another good week.
We skipped spring this year. A month and a half ago, we had a foot of new snow, and three weeks ago the lakes were still frozen. This weekend, we are well over 90 degrees, and tomorrow we are looking at the hottest memorial day in 50 years with heat index of 100 degrees or more. It makes outdoor activities a little unsafe. If you're in a hot area, make sure you're staying hydrated.
Have a happy and safe weekend.
Good morning men. It is a somber weekend and rightly so. Many of our fellow Americans will be carrying on for the "first weekend of summer" with wild abandon, oblivious to the cost of their freedom. We are not in that crowd here in our household. I have to attend my brother-in-law's 60th birthday celebration today, but eating his wife?s cooking will cast a pall on any jocularity there.
Last week 264
This week 263
I've been hitting the numbers right on for weigh in day for weeks now. I got all the way down to 261 this week. It?s been a real mix of weather and activity. The coming week holds lots of riding for me - in the car. I don?t know how much cycling I will get in.
I hope you all have a good weekend and a great week!
You should ask the doc if he has a picture of the two cameras meeting up in the middle. 
(joking) If your insurance company is like mine they only wanted to pay for one or the other. I hope they did your endoscopy first!

On Thursday I had my pre-surgery EGD that was required prior to WLS and due to family history, I had my 1st ever colonoscopy. Yep I had a double probe. One on each end. Just for laughs I weighed myself on the morning of the procedure and after being completely cleaned out I was at 289 lbs. I knew it was only because I fasted for 2 days and cleaned out my insides with that MoviPrep solution that has me convinced that it was made by the devil himself. Regardless of the fact it was short-lived, it was still nice to see the scale under 290 lbs. I hope I will get there naturally soon enough.
