I was 195 yesterday. I ate mindfully, and even shoveled some snow. Only to be damned this morning on the scale :-)
Looking forward to over two weeks off (use or lose time) and getting some inside things done. Hope I can keep my hand to mouth disease in control.
Good week to all!

Oops. 
Numbers going up. Resembles credit card balances. Only place I know where the numbers are going lower are in the checking account and my wallet!
Work week last week - literally went to the dogs. Hoarder of sorts on 20 day vacation at Dallas VA medical center. Had enough sense to wear a dirty uniform and had old work boots on instead of regular black tactical boots. Heaven only knows what all I was walking on in the dark! 11 dogs in house at one point. Roomie took his to another location, two dead and other eight were seized. Can't have a court hearing to determine what happens to the dogs till guy is out of the VA! Animal Control 101: No such thing as a "bad" animal. It is "bad" owners! Got home left boots in garage, dropped everything in utility room and through clothes in wash and me in shower.
Go do your thing!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

Better week for eating, but I still have a long way to go. Ate mindfully but made a couple bad choices. Water was a little variable with a couple travel days. I did well on my days at home. Exercise continues to improve.
This is a winding down week for me this year. Most of the week will be wrapping up 2017 and preparing for vacation. Speaking of which, I won't be back here till New Years Eve. There's been a lot of negotiating going on about food over the holiday's. There'll be some good choices, along with some bad ones. I need to stay mindful.
The lions game last night was fun. Can't stand the color rush uni's, but that's just me. Too bad they weren't able to play like that for more games this year. I guess there's an outside chance they make the playoffs, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Have a great week and a joyous holiday season. Please have a great time, but please be safe 
as well.
Merry Christmas
Looks like he is doing great in his journey. 
Not sure what his first WLS was, but it sounds like his second one was a DS done lap.
Frank talk about the DS / "All I ever wanted to be was thin, like that Rolling Stones dude ... "
HW/461 LW/251 GW/189 CW/274 (yep, a DS semi-failure - it happens :-( )
199-200 I've gained over the weeks. I've had a cold since last Wednesday. I've done less work, but still grazed during this time. My downfall is tortilla chips!! All that oil, fat, and carbs...But they taste so good. Cold is almost gone...I mowed the front lawn yesterday. That helped. I need to keep moving or drop the junk food...Common sense I know...Just need to do it. Brian

I must be living right! 
Been really trying to watch the eats and get in more exercise when I can.
Congratulations Grandpa!
Grim Reaper working his ass off lately around where I work. One of the HS seniors with preexisting condition, a couple of the turds and Friday morning our utility secretary's youngest son, mid-20's, died in a house fire. Parents are numb. Funeral is tomorrow.
On the bright side nice agency assist this week. Short chase, five in custody, property recovered and one of the five had 12 outstanding warrants. Two felonies and rest misdemeanors. Still doing the reports!
Looks like Christmas shopping is in the bag - literally. Few minor things left but majority done.
As you were.

Congrats on the new addition!
Did real good on eating and exercise for most of the week. But Friday rolled around and went out with the Mrs. Then last nigh****ching TV at home and mindless consumption of salty buttery popcorn (hot air popped of course) :-) I had last weeks weight beat yesterday, but this morning was a different story.
Good week to all!
Congratulations on the grandchild! We've got six as well. Four we get to see on a regular basis, but the other two live 1100 miles away, so we don't see them as often.
After writing last week how I was happy where I was, I dropped two more lbs to 274, which was yesterday's weigh in. I am back up a pound to 275 today, but that is normal fluctuation for me. So net loss as of this morning is 1 lb for the week.

Weight is still on a downward spiral, but I thought I did better eating last week. Feels like I'm trying to turn around a cruise ship rather than a speed boat. Travel is slowing down, but Christmas week will be a struggle.
On a positive note, Grandchild #6 came a couple weeks early this week. Mom and baby are doing well. My wife went to see her this weekend, and we'll be at their house for christmas. It helps keep me grounded in why I am working so hard to stay healthy.
Have a great week all!
I like this guy's video better. There are 10 ways to prune a grapevine...Most will work. Also the vines are very forgiving...Easy to play with the next year. Brian PS You may want to go to your local nursery and pick up a fungicide or liquid or powder sulfur and a spreader sticker. I just spray them (when I have time) at 4 inch growth and about 12 inch growth. It helps with mold and mildew on the grapes...
