Half a Century!

Well its been a while since I updated. I just been so busy and really not doing good on the weight loss. But as you can see to the right I am now down 50 pounds.

It could be so much more though. I still have not gotten to the exercising nor am I dieting. So I guess that’s darn good for doing nothing. i have a couple other issues holding me back. One is eating crackers! I can’t stop eating them. I was never like this before. I think though it is the “bread” I am after and the carbs.

The other issue oddly enough is I don’t think I am eating enough. I forget to eat. Tuesday was my first day to be able to eat anything. I had some of a chicken breast and it was real tasty. But then never ate anything else other than crackers since.

Judy had surgery yesterday. She has bad sleep apnea. The surgery is a hard one and causes a lot of pain after. But Judy is having little problems. But we are keeping her drugged up and so she is sleeping it away. She was suppose to stay in the hospital but was doing so well they let her go home just a few hours later.

WOW 2!

So yesterday I weighed myself which normally only happens on Tuesday’s. For you ignorant skinny folks when trying to lose weight you generally don’t want to weigh yourself often. Most people will weekly or bi weekly. I use to try to wait a month. The reason is your weight can fluctuate up and down daily. When fat and trying really hard it is very discouraging to look at your weight and either see a gain or just a slight loss.

If you haven’t had to battle weight then you can’t imagine how incredibly difficult it is. Then at my level where I have a serious addiction it becomes life consuming. It is like food devourers me not so much that I devour it. The weight is more than my body. The weight over hangs my whole life crushing it until the point when life is no longer what it once was or should be. Being overweight is not what God has planned for any of us.

So anyway yesterday I weighed and was down a good little number for just 2 days. I suspected it was a fluke. Scared that it was I went ahead and weighed again this morning fully expecting to be disappointed.

To my surprise I was down even more! So this week I am now down 3.6 pounds! Since it held and even lost more for 2 days I am counting it!

This brings me to 46 pounds lost so far. Wouldn’t it be awesome to break 50 pounds this week!

O if you missed it below is a post from yesterday.

WOW!

So it has been only weekly to update but I had to share tonight.

We were waiting to get my haircut and I was talking to someone. I without thinking crossed my legs!!

It still wasn’t that comfortable BUT I was able to hold it!

Man you know you’re getting old when this excites you!

The stylist noticed the weight loss! I just always wonder if they are just saying that.

Weight Loss Version 3.4

So I weighed again but this week it had to be a different scale. Jonathan took mine outside yesterday to weigh a stray dog we took in overnight. He left it in the front yard all night during the rain.

So in my mind I wonder if there is a difference in the scales.

But I lost 3.4 pounds this week. I know that’s good but I sure was hoping to be losing 5 to 6 pounds a week. But I am now down 42 pounds. It’s hard to believe that I got so fat that I could lose 42 pounds! And then I got so fat that even after losing 42 pounds I am STILL FAT!

But not for much longer. I was hoping to be way down by the time we go to Vegas in May because I wanted my friends to be able to see a real WOW difference. I don’t think that’s going to end up being the case though. But maybe a little.

Talk to you soon!

Weight Loss and Puppy Love

So another weigh in has come and gone. I lost almost 3 pounds this week. 2.8. For most people that would be great. I wasn’t all that thrilled. I want to get 5 pounds a week.

But 3 pounds with no exercise and not even dieting is good. I am eating a lot of carbs. I am ready to start meat and then I think I will lose more quickly. But hey I am only 1 pound from losing 40 pounds. My first goal was 50 pounds which hopefully isn’t far off.

Earlier I had a heart stopping moment. Tucker got out of his fenced in area and into our pool area. I was working at my desk. I heard some noise but didn’t think anything of it but after a few I went to look. Poor Tucker was in the pool barley hanging on to the side.

I was able to get him out without jumping in. Judy had just left for a ballgame and I almost went with her. Had I gone Tucker would have died this day. I couldn’t have handled it. Its been sad around here as we have been thinking a lot about Marshall. This gentleman we met at Auburn emailed us the other day. He is from South or North Carolina I can’t remember. When we met him he had driven all night to get his dog “Boris” there. He is a man with little means. He works part time at a veterinarian office and they helped get him enough gas money to get him to Auburn. We ended up putting him in a hotel while he was there.

But anyway he is just a sweat old man. He emailed to let us know that Boris has finished his chemo. He is worried what comes next.

I know a lot people still don’t understand and I guess they never will. I actually feel for those who can’t find the joy and love that animals bring to your life. There is a reason God created them too.

Dancing with a Fat Man?

So today was weigh in day. It wasn’t a good weigh in. I only lost 1 pound. While disappointing I guess at least it’s a loss.

Judy measured me and we had much better results. I have lost another overall body inches of 8 and a half.

I lost 2 more inches in my waist. I think I lost inches in every part. So that is good.

I have to drink more protein shakes and water. I also caught myself a time or two lurking in the kitchen late at night. Bad boy I am!

Mom got us hooked on Dancing with the Stars. So last night Judy is all like “lets take lessons and start dancing”. I’m like you see Steve Wozniak?...he can only get on national TV and do that because he is a billionaire! Me being just a pizza man won’t cut it!

I think it is time for me to start walking. This should help. But I sure don’t want to be walking. Exercise sucks. They aint took that part out of me.

O yea our coke contest started yesterday. This is my chance to win the chance to carry the Olympic Torch. If you live here order a 20oz!

Tuesday

Been awhile since I updated. Not a lot going on. I am eating more and more. Still amazingly small amounts. But I have this fear that come morning I am not going to have lost or at a minimum lost very little. It would sure suck to have gained!

I think my fear comes from eating and being full. But the amount it takes to be full is so little surely it won’t translate to weight gain.

I weigh in the morning. My hope is 5 pounds lost.

Tomorrow will tell. I may do my measurements too. If I have little weight loss maybe I will at least lose inches.
