Out of Control

Broke 250 for my Day After Father's Day weigh-in.
Time to get back with the program.
Maybe Laura can loan me her P90X DVDs..

35 lbs, 12.3 stinkin percent

Scary

Kim and I went to Talladega for the race yesterday.

Beautiful day, sunny and 86 degrees.

These pictures are from the final lap of the race and happened directly in front of us. Luckily we were 39 rows up. Seven people were hurt in the stands from car parts and shredded fence. Carl Edwards, the driver of the 99 car, got out of the car and ran across the finish line.

Link to video at the bottom.

Grilled hot italian sausage, drank a few beers. Monday weigh-in 246.0

Speaking of The Easter Bunny....

Saturday

242.2

OK. I've been bad too.

Cruise was just the beginning.
Love me some Johnny's Pizza.
Supper at hockey game the other night was french fries, popcorn, pizza, and beer.
Went to the golden arches for Filet O "Fish", large fries, "chocolate" milkshake, they threw in a free apple pie, baked now for health nuts like me.
Wednesday weigh in 245.0

Guess I am lucky that's all it was. Picture Uncle Steve with same expression as R at the diamond dig.....

Back on track since Sunday.

Something to Celebrate

Was driving home the other day thinking about what kind of day we were going to have on April 8th and started to dread it.

When I got home there was a letter in the mail from Georgia State University. It was addressed to Kristy G. so naturally I opened it....

Apparently Kristy G. has been named the Outstanding Undergraduate Student in the Exercise Science Department for the 2008-2009 school year.

Award ceremony: 4:00PM, April 8, 2009.

Snow Day

No ground clearance for these wieners.
Shoveled driveway last night but still too much ice to get out this morning. Worked from home today.

Not watching what I eat.
Luckily only 242 this morning.

Cruisin'

We're back! Had a great time, fairly warm weather (upper 70's). Lots of sun.
Did not have to wait a week to get to pre-cruise weight.
Monday morning weigh-in 237.0

Back to work this morning, only 288 e-mails while I was gone.

Fruits

Kim and I are taking our weight loss challenge "winnings" and leave tomorrow for Port Canaveral, then sail Monday afternoon on a 4-night Bahamas Cruise. We return to Florida Friday morning. Royal Caribbean Monarch of The Sea.

Pre-cruise weight: 238.4 (Kim 138.0 and wearing Kristy's jeans she outgrew)
Will weigh again a week after we get back....

This Monday

Did better last week. Back down to 233.0 (52 lbs even) this morning.
Try to stick with it at least until Super Bowl.
I could possibly lose 4 lbs this week and hit my 19.5%

Cooked a pork butt roast on the Big Green Egg for about 8 hours yesterday. Had that and steamed cabbage for supper last night and lunch today. Just a splash of Stubb's BBQ sauce.

Might have it for supper tonight as well.

Happy New Year and good luck with the cold. Do not send it our way.

Monday

Have been taking a break from losing weight, taking a break from blogging.

Vacation was GOOD. 11 days away from office, realized that phone and e-mail do fine in a basket on my dresser. That is where it spends most of the weekends now too.

Have enjoyed Pizza and Calzones (can only eat half of one now), Thai, Mexican (including chips and salsa), Wheat Thins and cheese log,full calorie beer and other goodies that I have missed. Just can't eat near as much in a sitting these days.

Monday weigh in.... 238.4. That is still damn near 50 lbs, still within 10 lbs of goal. If I am good and do not eat all of the gumdrops and jelly beans that will be raining from the sky tomorrow, I can get back on track.

Have gone from stretching the limits of 40" expandable waist to 38" regular fit jeans being somewhat too loose.

Finally got out from under having 2 classes at once, had a month off, started new class last Thursday (today, really). 3 more classes to go after this one.
