41st Tuesday weigh-in



225.5 lb

Loss of 0.5 lb from last week. I have been drinking a gallon of water per day for a few weeks as well as hitting the gym all six planned days. I think drinking lots water helps me feel better and I am always well hydrated. I still have days where I am totally wiped out of all energy, usually Sunday after gaming on Saturday... Also finally had my monthly weigh-in with the personal trainer and I was down 1% body fat from last month.

As the above picture illustrates: we have an overflow of zucchini from our garden, tomatoes go as fast as they're ready. Joeseph and Sue came by our house recently and I got to serve them up some of my garden tomatoes which were promptly devoured and then gushed over. Tomatoes are so good raw with a little salt, but an open-faced tomato-mayo sandwich on homemade dutch-oven bread is fantastic. Store-bought tomatoes are painful to eat once you have had the real deal. We don't keep up with the yellow summer squash either but have some zucchini and squash two or three times a week at minimum. My mom says I should make ratatouille with all this stuff... I just need eggplant. Rebecca freezes and gives away some zucchini to try and use all that the garden is producing.

40th Tuesday weigh-in


226.0 lb

Down 0.5 lb from last Tuesday. Yay a loss. The camping trip did not "trip" me up.

39th Tuesday weigh-in

226.5 lb

I really need to post my weight on time. Same as the previous week, no change. I am not fazed by it. I had a camping trip scheduled and have planned on being extra cautious so I am not up for my personal trainer weigh-in next week.

38th Tuesday weigh-in

226.5 lb

I did really well last week on exercise (6 days, 3 cardio, 3 lifting) but... starting on Thursday with lunch at JCW's with some friends from Novell, then dinner at Chili's with Rebecca on Friday, then french fries and game night candy+soda on Saturday and finally a roast dinner on Sunday... I am lucky to be back down to only 1/2 lb up.
My percent body fat is 29% so I think I am keeping muscle while doing this which is a plus.

37th Tuesday weigh-in

226 lb

Yuck I did not do well last week, even slacked off on posting this dismal weigh-in until a day before the 38th weigh in. Anything I write is just and excuse for too much food intake and not enough sweat output.

I tried out Lincoln's new stationary bike, it is silent, and by that I mean all you can hear while using it is your wheezing asthmatic breathing and thumping heart beats as it tries to pump blood through cholesterol clogged arteries. I did however dominate a 30 minute program giving myself a slight ego boost. The fear of losing my XBOX has kept me at the gym all the past week to stem the tide of gains. I have even downed over a gallon of water today to try and release any/all retained water.
