Hey, sorry I’m late with my weigh-in post.  I was engrossed in a video game all day yesterday.  I took some time out to add my entry but got writers block about what I wanted to write about.  Now I’m at work and I still can’t put my thoughts onto blog, so I’m just going to post my results and leave it at that.

I guess I’m stuck.  I weighed in at 232.8lbs which is a mere 0.4lb loss.  After two single pound drops in a row, I’m definitely slowing down if not plateaued.  I think I know what’s going on.  I’ve become kind of a slacker with my points tracker.  The weekend that I moved, I didn’t have a computer available for me to track me weight, so I winged it.  I did a pretty good job I think, but it started a bad habit of neglecting the points tracker.  I may not measure my food, or I will nibble on a couple of chips and not track it.  I need to refocus.  I have a feeling that these last 30 pounds are going to be difficult to lose. There’s no sense making it worse by failing to log snacks.

There is a good possibility that I will miss my weight goal next month.  I should be at 225lbs by November 16th.  I’ll need to lose 2.7lbs a week in order to make it.  That’s a tall order, and I don’t know if I can fill it.  I’m going to try though.  I’ll need to be super extra vigilant with my food and points tracker.  No more snacking or nibbling, and keep it up to the minute whenever possible.  Of course, that won’t be enough at this point.  I’m going to have cut more calories out, either by burning them or not eating them.

*sigh* I could use some more enthusiasm.  I’ll just go through the motions and maybe the motivation will come later.

I’ve got a lot going on this weekemd.  It would be nice to tell you all about it now, but I got a lot going on.  So I’ll just log my weight now and maybe come back for an update later.

I weighed in 233.2lbs.  Down 1.2lbs, it’s been 2 weeks in a row of under 2lb losses.  I need to take a closer look at my diet.  I’ve become a little lax in the food tracking department.  My next goal is Npvember 16th at 225lbs.  I’ll need to do better than two pounds a week if I want to make that goal.  That will be a challenge.

Well I’m off to the movie.  Going to see W. because I admire the man so much.

I shopped like it was going out of style yesterday.  I dropped my car off at the dealership at about 9:30 and walked to Burnsville Center.  I hit JC Penny’s and dropped $130 in about 45 minutes.  I got a couple pairs of Dockers.  That was nearly half of it.  Bot I also got some cool shirts on the cheap.  I got some of them for just $5.  I won’t get into details but I got 6 shirts altogether.  I got my car back at about 11 and headed to the Goodwill in Eagan to drop off my fat clothes.  While I was in the neighborhood I stopped by at TJ Maxx and got 4 more shirts!  I sure hope I don’t shrink too much more.  I figure they should still fit pretty well in 5 months when I reach my goal weight.  I’d hate to have to do this all over again.  OK, no I wouldn’t, but it would kind of suck to have to spend so much money again.

I’m kind of stalling with my weigh-in.  I was having a great week.  On Friday I managed to get down to my last weigh-in weight, which usualy means I’m going to have a decent showing.  The problem is that I haven’t had a good crap since Friday so my last 4 meals are just sitting there, you know, not moving.  I took a walk around the lake this morning, and did what I could to get my water weight down.  I managed to lose about a pound since my last weigh-in.

Oh well, I’ve had a good run.  I’m a bout due for a lousy weigh-in.  So I’m just going to call it 234.4lbs.  That’s a 1lbs loss and that brings me up over 130lbs lost.  That’s not a good showing really but I’m still losing.  That’s what’s important.  So I’ll take it and move on and hopefully have a good show next week.

Well I’ll be going now.  I’m going to walk up to the shops in Uptown.  There’s a spice place called Penzey’s I believe.  And there’s a kitchen store or two I wanted to look at. So I’ll write at you all next week.
