Drop 30 Pounds

Okay, I’m excited for college football starting up this week.   That said, after stepping on the scale this morning and pulling out that cursed measuring tape, I felt like the running back who doesn’t see a gap so he starts running back and forth avoiding tackles… until he finally gets taken down a couple inches behind where he started after having sprinted about 30 yards back and forth.

Okay, if none of that made sense, maybe this will:

Weight: 214.8 lbs.
Waist: 39.5 inches

Looks about the same as last week, but about 0.6 lbs heavier.  That’s after riding my bike FOUR days to work and putting in 6 hours of manual labor on Saturday helping my brother-in-law refinish his wood floors.

I think it comes back to the fact that I’m eventually going to have to change my eating habits to see some real progress, but I’ll resist a little longer since I’ve got a vacation coming up next week and it’s pointless to try and eat better on vacation (at least for me!).

I caught a bit of a cold, so that’s slowing me down a bit so far this week, but we’ll see what exercise I can eek out despite feeling a bit congested, etc.

Well, there it is.  The weekly weigh-in wasn’t too happy this week, but I did create a handy dandy graph to start charting my weight and waist week over week.  The trend line is heading the right overall direction, so if I’m patient, I think I’ll continue to see the progress I’m looking for.
