No PR0N here.
My dad took one look at the pictures below and stated that I have now put p0rn on my website, because "That isn't a shirt--that's underwear!" When I explained the existence and proliferation of the "tank top," his reply? "I'm the Dad." 'Nuff said, apparently! :)
Speaking of Dad, he's down 83 pounds, and it's been just under 3 months since he had surgery. That's practically a pound a day, which is just awesome and a little maddening how quickly he's losing. He just joined a gym, so I bet he'll keep chalking up some big losses this next month. He's only got 62 more pounds until he hits goal--and I bet he'll be pretty darn close by the time six months have passed for him. Wow. That is just amazing--already over 50% there (57%!!)!
I had my weigh in today at Weight Watchers, and I would say I was disappointed with my .4 loss, but I really think that is all the effort I put in this week. I missed my workouts on Friday, Saturday, Monday, and today (I try to run the morning of my weigh in--I'll go to the gym still tonight). And, I didn't make very good food choices while in Atlanta or when I came back home for that matter. It's interesting--I lost my "QuikTrak" (aka food journal) last week, and I just didn't write down my exercise or food for the week because of it (as if there was a paper shortage and NOTHING. ELSE. WOULD. WORK. to journal my food!). I have a new QuikTrak for this week, and I intend to use it faithfully. I am 30 pounds (by WW's scales) from my first goal score of being at a normal BMI. I want the vast majority, if not all of those pounds to be gone, gone, gone by my birthday, which is just 11 weeks away. That's an aggressive goal, but why not be aggressive, so long as I approach my diet and exercise regime with the same aggressiveness?
For the Moses Challenge:
My penalty for not meeting my goals this week: No ice cream (that is a serious motivator!)
My reward: I think I'll treat myself to a bit of tanning--my legs are whiter than white and I have some weird tan lines from running in the sun last weekend.
Tomorrow, I have my one year appointment with Dr. Harrington. I did my blood work earlier this week and I hope he has it back to show me tomorrow. I weighed in at 200.5 there two months ago, so I hope the scale is kind to me this time. Although now that I'm looking at this, that's really only about 6.5 pounds in 8 weeks--ugh. But, I've definitely gained a lot of muscle since then due to my marathon training--I've gone down a size from 16/18 to 14/16 since then too, so I am going in the right direction. Still, it makes me wish I had been even more exercise pro-active while I was going through the rapid weight loss because it would have been great to be 20 pounds lighter now!
Ok, I need to get off to the gym and start my new week off with a good, clean four mile run. See ya!
