All Alone in Loserville

Philip is "at goal weight". Tim is taking doctoral classes for another fortnight. I haven't the slightest clue where everyone else is. They said to meet them here. I believe I've been stood up.

The scale is not my truest friend these days. For two mornings this week, I was at my "new low number". But then it was up again, up again, feel like a hog.

This week I'm posting my quantitative, positively phrased, short-term goals.
I will drink 80 oz of H2O
I will exercise for at least 30 minutes 6 days
I will not eat after 7pm

We'll see if me, myself, and I can serve as adequate accountability. It's seems like a very small, but fun, group.

Less of me later...

Up and At'em

I'm sad to report a tiny little gain this week. Disciplined eating did NOT characterize my week, so my strenuous workouts only kept me from a complete blimp-out.

I'm back on track. It's like 117 degrees outside and I'm gonna go "burn" some disciplined calories. Better numbers next week.

The Big (though a little smaller now) Picture

January 4th, 2007 our precious Larah Mikal was born. The moment she popped out I realized that if I didn’t do something I would never see her graduate high school. No man in my direct line has made it past 50 and I was following that same course. I confessed my apathy and rebellion to God and asked Him for help in turning things around. That day, at 315 pounds, I decided to lose 100 pounds. At the conclusion of our BL contest I weighed 227 (27.94%). This morning I weigh 225 and am anxiously looking forward to misplacing the last 10 pounds. I anticipate that once I reach my goal of weighing 215 that I will probably extend the goal to the 200 mark. We will see. In addition to my weight goal I have two other goals on the horizon. August 4th I have a doctor’s appointment for a complete physical to see if I beat the cholesterol thing. Then, August 9th, I have been invited to run in a 10k for the Logger’s Jubilee here in our valley. I’ll let y’all know how it all goes. Thanks for helping me stay accountable through this blog. Hope all of you keep doing great.

Good Monday Morning

For the cyber record:
I lost 0.79% this week putting my overall percentage lost since Jan 2, 2008 at 12.82%. Yay God!

(I'm gonna fersure post until Labor Day...then we'll see)

What a Bunch of Losers!

Washington wins it.
Congratulations to Tim & Rebecca: they're taking home first prize! I am absolutely impressed with your success. Super work, guys.

Jason Soles skillfully kept Texas in the top two by shedding over 10% of his weight. Outstanding!

Arla Bowers plowed a steady row toward winning. What a wonderful job!

One tiny shout out to my good friend, Donnis. I dub you Queen of Maintenance! Great effort....breaking even was precisely what you aimed to do, huh? Good girl!
