Weigh-In #7

The day leading up to Wednesday was strange.  I worked a full day on Tuesday but was asked to come back to the office at 10pm Tuesday night to lead a training session. Sacrifices have to be made when a company never closes.  The brunt of the sacrifice was realized first hand as I drove home from the office at 3am Wednesday morning.

After about 5 hours of sleep, the work day started again.  Cramming 8 hours of work in a day shortened by catching a few hours of sleep made for an extremely busy Wednesday.  I didn't get to weigh-in till 4:45pm. All I wanted to do was sleep by the time I was able to get in front of a computer to post my Weigh-In Wednesday update.

Enough with all that...how about some results?

Once again I kept the "every-other-week" streak alive with a loss of 5.4 pounds.  That pushes the total to 27.6 pounds dropped since January 4th. 

With this weigh-in I've passed the 25% mark.  There is a long way to go but I'm going to get there.  This diffcult journey would be a huge burden without all the emails, phone calls, and pats-on-the-back I've received in the past 51 days.  I'm getting a ton of support from family, friends, friends-of-friends, and Facebook fans.  I am truly thankful for all the support.

72.4 pounds to go.

5K Craziness

One of my Facebook fans invited me to a 5K.  I've never participated in one of these, so I'm gonna make up for lost time.  I've decided anytime I'm invited to participate in a 5K...I'M IN.  I can almost guarantee there will be minimal running, but there will be some really fast walking.

Weigh-In #6

So, what do you think about the new layout and picture?

I've been in a training class at work all day Tuesday and Wednesday.  I did sneak away for Wednesday Weigh-In yesterday.  I say sneak, but I went during a break and was back in time when the class resumed.

The good news is that I lost 0.4 pounds.

The bad news is that once again I missed my 2 pounds per week goal.

Looking back at the last four weigh-ins, I've noticed a trend of "lose-a-little" one week, "lose-a-bunch" the next week.

1/27  4.6 pounds
2/3  0.6 pounds
2/10  5.6 pounds
2/17  0.4 pounds

Strange...

Here's to next week being in the "lose-a-bunch" column.

Weigh-In #5: Back on Track

This is more like it...

I'm happy to report a successful week.  Even with dining out more than I expected and Superbowl Sunday, I was able to drop 5.6 pounds this week.  That gets the total to over 21 pounds.

Day 34: Fuji Steakhouse

A group of eight of us went out for dinner at Fuji.  We had this meal planned for a few days, so I was careful with what I ate leading up to Saturday night. 

I looked up the calorie info of Hibachi food, but what I found seems low.
