Day 86

It's always a great day when you eat at Chick-fil-A twice. I'm still waiting on the phone call to be the new spokesperson.

Weigh-In #11

I was a little worried going to the doctor's office this morning.  I had a weekend of not-so-good food picks:  hot wings on Friday...Mexican Food on Saturday....pizza on Sunday.  None of those foods fall into the healthy lifestyle category.

That being said, I had a successful week as far as Benjamin Droppin' goes.  I dropped 2.4 pounds.

I'll take it even though I feel like I don't deserve it this week.

Day 74: Dining for Disaster

I tried to limit what I ate throughout the day because I knew dinner would be at my favorite non-smoking pizza place in The Fort, Hollywood Stars Pizza.   They had a cool event on Thursday night raising money for the Red Cross.  Even if they're not really Benjamin Droppin' friendly, they have a friendly staff that serves some of the best pizza in The Fort.

Food Diary Mustache

The food diary hasn't went away, I've just had a difficult time posting over the past few weeks.  While I have been too busy to post, I have kept up with everything.  My caloric intake has been between 2000-2500 a day.

I feel more accountable if I'm posting everything I eat online.  So that's what I'm going to do.  I've dusted off the spreadsheet I was using and purchased a food diary app for my phone.

The food eaten on Day 71 of this journey will be posted in the morning.

And by the way, I'm growing a mustache...pics soon.

Vike Hike

I will be participating in a 5K at Poteau on April 10th.

If anyone wants to join me at the "Vike Hike" let me know.

Weigh-In #7 and #8

I'm back...kind of

Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth.  The past few weeks have been extremely busy.  I'm proud to say that I have stayed away from fast food, soda and all the bad stuff.

The weigh-in on Wednesday, March 3 ended the streak of consecutive weeks with a weight-loss.  I gained 1.8  pounds that week.

The weigh-in on Wednesday, March 10 delivered good news.  I was back on the weight-loss train with a loss of 1.8 pounds.

Sooooo, I'm back to the exact weight I was at for the end of February.

Bella Notte

Benjamin Droppin' Fans,

I apologize for the lack of posts/updates.  YEL has a huge fundraiser (Bella Notte) this weekend.  As YEL Chair, I've been a little preoccupied with all things YEL and all things Bella Notte.

I have been keeping up with everything and will catch up all the posts  in the next couple of days.

Thanks for the support.

-Travis
