Last week I was 266. This week was 265 1/4. It has been a week of lots of driving and sitting with Mom at appointments. At least the sins of Easter Eating have been reversed.
As soon as I was cleared for exercise after surgery, I joined a gym. I hated it. I sort of knew I would going in, but the weather was turning cold and nasty here, so I knew outdoors was not going to be an option for regular exercise.
I kept it up for a couple of months and was good about going, but as soon as I was able to get back to work (I had a long break because of its physical nature) I dropped the gym and never looked back.
I've goofed off this winter, but we are FINALLY starting to see some possibility of warmer weather, and that means lots of outdoor activity including walking and biking.

It may not look like a good drop, but I will certainly take it. Ate salty food
yesterday (Kielbasa and Kraut) which usually kicks up the weight the next day, but
actuallu a few pounds down from highest during the week. Must be the workouts between my
daughters house and cleaning out my parents house. We filled a 20 cubic yard dumpster
yesterday at my prents old house, and need to order another one!
The workout does feel good both physically and mentally. I know I have said this before,
but I wish I coud get motivated to just go to a gym, but I just hate it. I lmuch rather
do something productive to expend the energy.
Looking forward to a good week.
Good week to all.
Congrats on the 10 year Surgiversary!
It is real life stories that help me understand the bumps in the road are normal.
Thanks!

Not where I want it to be but nice down tick this week. I likely will not see the 170-175 range again but I'd be very happy to see 180 again.
Okay, I will try to keep this pretty short. Yesterday was my 10 YEAR SURGIVERSARY!! 
From starting at 331 pounds, 52-54 size pants, XXL shirts and going to 165.0 at my lowest at 18 months, when my, gall bladder removed, to today's 188, 36 pants, L shirts, it has been one HELL of a ride!! Can walk 5 miles in 67:24 minutes on treadmill, stick to protein first, eat small meals when by myself, split meals out with the honey, drink 2-3 bottles of water daily. There have been some bumps on the road too. Two divorces, career woes that still bite me in the ass if I apply anywhere else, moved to GA just to move back to TX a year later. Was it all worth it? Over all I'll say yes but there have been times I wonder but that is life in general. Can't undo what has been done so can only keep going!
Turn off your computer and go outside to play!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

Nice result on the scale this morning. last week I was able to be home most of the week, and my eating routine was much better. The biggest change was reduced snacking at night. My wife started working afternoon shifts, which allows me to eat dinner later, which minimizes nighttime snacking.
I'm escaping the snow again today as I head to Tampa. 5 more weeks of this insane travel schedule to go. My work life is getting tough because my new boss keeps giving me stuff to do, but the project I'm in keeps rolling on. I'm anxious for this project to be over so I can get into a better (ie healthier) routine.
I have 8 weeks to get back into biking shape for a couple of long bike rides this summer. I hope this stupid snow melts soon so I can start getting out on the road in addition to spin classes in the gym.
Have a great week everyone!!
Monday-Thursday I did well with diet and working our, but Friday-Sunday was bad. I fell off my diet and was not too physical. Too many temptations this weekend. Time to dust myself off and climb back on.
Last Week: 304 lbs.
This Week: 306 lbs.
Not happy with this but I did it to myself. It just proves I must stay committed and can't cheat.
I'm up a few pounds from last week, but within my normal range of up and down. I expected it would be this way, what with the Easter holiday and the incursion of our four grandsons and their parents. It has been four days of eating on the edge of good and bad, with some holiday treats thrown in. Tomorrow will see me back to my regular meal routine.
Last week 262 3/4 lbs
This week 266 lbs even.
We have 2-4" of snow expected this evening, but it isn't supposed to stick. Warmer weather is coming, and soon I'll be out on long walks with the dog and longer rides on the bike.

All the walking at Lackland AFB did me more good than I realized. Impressive place. If you ever get to the chance to go watch a basic training graduation, go. For those of you who have been apart of a basic graduation ceremony, thank you.
Got home in time to watch the Lady Bulldogs advance to tonight's NCAA Final Four against Notre Dame. Both lady's semifinals went to overtime! Notre Dame and South Carolina almost went to double overtime. Despite wanting to take Norma to the Alamo we boogied out in advance of the Men's Final Four crowd getting there. Went to the Tex-Mex capital of Texas and found the best hole in the wall Bar-B-Que joint there is! It was a dump, heavy duty security screens over all the glass, in a rough part of town and had a mental health consumer off her meds putting on a floor show in the street.
Back to work in the morning. 
Have a Great Week!!
