Well, it’s time to get back on the scale again…
I’ve neglected this blog for quite a while now. That probably gives you a pretty good indication of what I’ve been doing with my weight loss effort as well.
I guess I got complacent with maintaining my weight, but now that it’s creeping back up a bit, I need to pay attention and get back to work!

Okay, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Not too much exciting going on. Basically I’ve held the weight relatively constant and just recently worked off a bit more from my waist, thanks to starting some light training with the powerwheel my sister lent me.
What it comes down to is the fact that I haven’t really been committed to losing weight (no surprise there). I’m still happy with the trend since I started this blog, since I was gaining weight at a ridiculous pace, and now I’m about 13 pounds lighter than when I started, thanks to eating a bit healthier and exercising a bit more. I’m hoping that at some point this summer I will really ramp things up.
If you all have any insights into what gives you the motivation to eat healthy, get & stay in shape, etc. etc., please feel free to share!
Here’s where the weekly weigh-ins landed the past several weeks…

Okay, so, the new battery must be doing it’s job right, because this week it logged:
Weight: 208.8 lbs.
Waist: 39.25 inches
The crazy thing is, I haven’t been doing the best job these past couple weeks. I know there are pretty decent size fluctuations with someone who weighs as much as I do, but I’ll just say it was encouraging to step on the scale and have it be on a “low” swing. I’m going to need to step things up if I’m going to keep up the downward trend.
By the way, I just updated my progress chart to catch it up to date for the year.

Okay, so lame of me, but I never got around to buying a size CR 2032 battery this week, so my scale still wasn’t speaking to me. So, once again, I’m going to take a guess and say I’m the same as last week:
Weight: 209.4 lbs.
Waist: 39.25 inches
My shoulder is still hurting, so I’m hoping I can recover a bit more and then get back on track. Oh yea, and buy that battery…

This morning when I stepped on the scale, I noticed something new — a dead battery message! So, I’m just going to pretend like I’m the same as last week:
Weight: 209.4 lbs.
Waist: 39.25 inches
My shoulder has been hurting pretty bad, so this week I’m going to take things a little easier…
