Last Week 238.3
This Week 234.6

Don, I was actually told that by a lifelong friend. What was said was that someone else they knew lost weight "the hard way" I'm still friends with him, but it has been five years and I still remember it like yesterday. That's the reason I told of my plans to get the surgery only to my immediate family and a few very close friends.

Just got done mowing the leaves (It's easier than raking) for the season. Just dump the bagger on a big tarp and drag to the tree lawn. The oaks have finally given up the rest and I can put the lawnmower away for the season.

Good week to all!

Last week 198.8

This week 199

Managed to get a 3 day weekend which is a nice change of pace. Been running ragged with all the drivers and warehouse people out sick. Eating pretty cruddy lately running on 5-6 hours of sleep a day so I'm hoping that getting rested up will cut down on the need for late night snacks.

Last week: 185.4

This week: 185.8

Normal range. Dipped into upper 184's earlier in week when I was the puniest.

Thanksgiving Football disappointing from won-loss stand point. State lost to Ol' **** in the rain, gonna glad we canceled, Cowboys and Saints both lost Turkey day. Congrats to Jim Harbaugh et al for beating Ohio, Auburn gave Alabama a run for thieir money going into four OT's, Coach O is leaving LSU with a final win against A&M and Minnesota upset Wisconsin.

Was hoping to go back to work tomorrow but powers that be are saying ten full days and a negative test. Still have not had a fever! Zip! Zero! None! Nada! O2 sats running where they should be and even got out Friday and trimmed the bushes/trees that needed trimming so I don't get the crap whacked out of me next mowing season and I've even been on rower this week too! My compadre that is out with it is having harder time with it. May be the difference between being jabbed vs not jabbed.

Go forth and have a Great Week!!

Weights stable from last week

I also had a Covid scare this week but it turned out to be a false alarm, thankfully.

Good luck Don. Hopefully it will pass quickly

Last check in: 199

This week: 198.2

That sucks Don, I hope it's a mild case and passes quickly.

This week started last Thursday and kept on going. Have a lot of folks at work out with the plague so I've been doing 14 hour days with some phone tag in my "downtime." Thankfully haven't gained in spite of eating quite badly.

Had a doctor's visit Wednesday that led to an X-Ray. I've been having trouble with numbness and weakness in my legs. 4 of the 5 vertebrae in my lumbar spine are not where they're supposed to be along with some other fun and interesting changes. Have a CT scan scheduled in a couple weeks. The good thing about being half the man I used to be is my back is under a lot less load, but there's still the cumulative damage of nearly 40 years of carrying around excess weight.

Nowhere to go but forward. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, or at least as good of one as can be had. May the Wishbones all break your way.
