Time to lose that weight!
At this rate, it’s going to take me 40 weeks to lose 8 pounds! Something tells me I’m going to have to try something more aggressive to meet the goal by the end of the year. This week came in at:
Weight: 213 lbs.
Waist: 39.5 inches
We’ve got Thanksgiving this week, so I’m hoping to break even for next week, then get a quick blitz to drop some pounds in December.
Point 2 freakin’ pounds. Yep, as in 0.2 lbs. I guess I’ll take it:
Weight: 213.2 lbs.
Waist: 39.5 inches
It’s going to take a lot more to reach my short term goal to drop 8 pounds, but it’s better than nothing.
So, as for the post title, it’s been a joke in my family growing up for years. I think the story originated from one of my mom’s sisters, but whenever someone big and fat says they lose weight, we ask the obvious question… how can you tell when an elephant loses weight? Well, I’m not the size of an elephant exactly, but still — 0.2 pounds isn’t going to turn any heads with this fat bod!
Here’s to next week!
Halloween candy, Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas treats, etc. seem to provide about 8 solid weeks of extra eating opportunities. I am most happy to oblige.
That said, If I’m ever going to lose any weight through this traditionally fat time of year, I’m going to need a more specific, time-bound goal. A deadline. We all know I need to Drop 30 Pounds, but how ’bout I Drop 8 Pounds by the end of the year, instead of gain 10 like I would have otherwise.
Think I can do it? Time will tell…
Well, weighing in for the third week in a row at… you guessed it:
Weight: 213.4 lbs.
Waist: 39.5 inches
More Halloween candy, so I’m not sure what I expected. Realistically, I’m just glad I didn’t gain any weight. We’ll see what happens this week.
Well, I think it was “Treat” or treatS to be exact. A little exercise and a little too much eating =
Weight: 213.4 lbs.
Waist: 39.5 inches
No progress, but I have been eating a lot of Halloween candy, so I guess it’s not so bad
