44th Tuesday weigh-in



226.5 lb

Strange to be up so much, I didn't overeat all week until Friday night when I had waaay more pizza than I should have. Then I took the family to the Pleasant Grove Hog's Heaven CookOff on Saturday night and enjoyed some nice ribs and pulled pork. We got leftovers so it was BBQ Sunday and Monday too. But I really don't think I am "up", just retaining water / extra food from the weekend of extra grease and salt. I don't feel heavy and did exercise the entire week consistently. If I can lose body fat and gain muscle, that is fine with me.

I am as motivated as ever to post good numbers here and at my monthly weigh-in with the "impersonal" trainer, Heather. Seriously she has been a huge let down. It has been like torture to get any kind of personalized help from her, she just wants to measure this and weigh that, then give me a pre-printed handout and a smile-see-ya-next-month-bah-bye. If anything she has demotivated more than motivated. So Heather gets zero credit from me for any progress I am making.

My plan for next week is to push myself at the gym on cardio harder than I have been. I also plan to eat midmeal snacks so I am not tempted to overeat at dinner. Finally, I like Rebecca's strategy to stop eating by 8pm, so I am stealing that one from her. Rebecca, by the way, has been rocking it in weight loss these past few months and is breaking out skinny clothes left and right. She really puts me to shame with her progress, her pants are loose and her figure is as stunning as when we got married.

Sorry to hear about your impersonal trainer. What-ever! You are persevering, and that matters.

Good husband to brag on your wife. I may steal the no-food-after-8 idea as well.
