Hello.
I normally only post on my official weigh in days....but I had to make a special post today. I was really hoping i would hit 211 by 12/25 (100 pounds post op + 50 preop = 150 pounds total weight loss). But it didn't happen. However, this morning when I got on the scale, i saw the lovely 211! I'm so excited. Seems like it took forever, but dammit, i'll take it. I feel like life is just beginning. I'm so excited about the prospects. Not to mention that the large shirts and some of the size 34 pants my wife bought me for xmas ACTUALLY FIT! craziness. Me in a large shirt? What is that about? No more 4x-5x! ARRRRGHHHH!!! lovin it
Week #'s 30 & 31
Hey.
I really did mean to post an update last week, but I kept putting it off and before I knew it, another full week had past.
Last week I lost 2 pounds, nice and steady. This week i'm down an additional 3. As long as the scale is moving in the right direction, then I can't complain.
I had a couple of great moments over the last couple of weeks. I attended my wife's job's xmas party. Saw some of her co-workers who haven't seen me since last christmas, so they commented on my weightloss. It's always nice to have people notice the big change.
I also finally got my step team started for this year, and the students couldn't believe their eyes when they saw me. I haven't seen any of them since before my surgery, so needless to say over 100 pounds later i look much different. One student didn't even recognize who i was, I love it. Moments like those make it all worth it.
At any rate, as promised, here are this week's results and last week's. I promise to TRY and keep up with regular postings :)

Week # 29 results
Hey.
Sorry for the lack of updates, i'm a slacker. LOL. No, but i've just been enjoying life and some recent changes that has kept me occupied. At any rate, it's been two weeks since i've posted my progress. The week before last i lost another pound (only 1 again). I will admit that i was rather upset over a second week in a row of only 1 pound loss. But I knew it would pass, so I just kept doing the same things and hitting the gym faithfully. So this week i'm proud to post a 5 pound weight loss! LOVE IT. Next stop is the 2-teens....can't wait.
My usual routine is to hit the gym at 5 am every morning. However, this morning when I got up, there was a BUNCH of snow outside. The first really big snowfall of the season, so I really didn't feel like (or have the time to) clean off the car, possibly shovel my way out of the driveway then get to the gym and be back in enough time to get ready for work. Just the thought of all that made me get right back to bed. But now, i feel guilty as hell. LOL. Why is that? I've been to the gym EVERYDAY for the past week straight, so taking this day off shouldn't be a big deal....but i'm full of guilt regardless. Guess that just means that i'll have to go to the gym tonight after work to make it up to myself. LOL...a mess.
