As of today, according to the exchange rate, my wife lost $105.60...

or 70 Pounds!

(you see what I did there?)*


Thank you, Hedwig.

Anyway, yes I thought it deserved it's own post because that's a pretty big number, and she is solidly kicking my ass.
Congrats, baby. You're looking great and I'm damn proud of you!

Week 92- Weak, totaly weak!

Starting weight: 264.2
Weight last week: 222.5
Current weight: 225.5
Lost this week: +3
Total lost to date: 38.6

Weight left to lose: 45.6

Goddammit. At this rate I feel like I am never going to reach my goal. The clock is ticking and I am apparently swelling like a tick as well.

I busted my ass like you wouldn't believe, and I am ridiculously annoyed that I am UP! I could see maybe no change or only down a little, but three pounds is pretty substantial for me at this stage of the game to be up.

GRRRR. Don't mind me, I am just annoyed. Lots of little things are piling up right now and they are just irking the crap out of me. Add to that the one year anniversary of my Mom passing being tomorrow.

Also, ENOUGH ALREADY WITH THE RAIN, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

See, I'm getting crabby, and that's not good. Anyhow, today's a cardio day, so once I go to the gym tonight I'll be glued to the treadmill and eliptical for an hour or so.

Not so smug now, are you Superman?

Remember this shirt?

The ORIGINAL goal shirt, kiddies!

Yeah, that's right.

LARGE.

and this sumbitch was tiiiiight!



it's actually a little bit big, too :)

ok, down a little. I have new tactics I am trying. Following in the wife's footsteps (since she's damn near 70 pounds down, I think that it's a good idea, huh?

Honestly, I was seriously expecting a big ol loss this week, not this.

Meh.

More gym. More sweating.

Conflicted

So there's a casino in Atlantic City (Trump's Taj Mahal) that's offering an all day Buffet for something like 24.99 (29.99 on weekends) and I am conflicted.

On the one hand-

• AC is not cheap to eat at like Vegas can be. So, 25 clams and you're set all day.
• The cheap bastard in me thinks this is a solid plan
• the fat bastard in me thinks "FRIED SHRIMP!!!!!!!!!*" OM-NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM!

On the other hand-

• the new, less fat-assed version of me says "man, you could really just kill yourself eating at this place. I mean, you'd die fat and maybe happy..."
• holy crap, that's really insane. You could sit and eat all day for 25 bucks and just get up to "clear the decks" as it were. Throw in some gladiators and we have Rome :)

*He's also thinking "BACON!" but let's hope for all concerned, that that's only available at breakfast.

Week 89- meh.

Starting weight: 264.2
Weight last week: 221.3
Current weight: 221.1
Lost this week: .2
Total lost to date: 42.1

Weight left to lose: 41.1

Look, I'll be frank. I ate crummy and didn't go to the gym this weekend. Thus, I have not gotten under 220. I can't wait to be there, because that means only 40 pounds to go. I realized I have less than 6 months to do it and I am getting concerned. The game must be stepped up.

Dunkin Donuts is trying to kill us all...

Holy shit! I mean, seriously, America? This seems like a good idea to you guys? I mean, the McGriddle was pretty insane, but lets face it, if McDonald's though they could sell you the McLard sandwich, you know damn well they would.

Dunkin Donuts looked pretty responsible as of late. Multigrain options, then those flatbread egg-white sammiches, they were a pretty good option. Now we have a vehicle that is normally used to deliver either syrup or ice cream (if they of the Belgian variety) to bring even more artery clogging mayhem to the portly populace of 'Merica.

I mean, we were Goddamn stupid enough to invent this monstrosity, so I put nothing past us...

Week 88- not quite what we were looking for but...

Starting weight: 264.2
Weight last week: 222.8
Current weight: 221.3
Lost this week: 1.5
Total lost to date: 41.9

Weight left to lose: 41.3

Not terrible. I wanted three, but being sick is a real pain in the ass.

Biggest Loser is back tonight, maybe we can start talking about it. I dunno, I'm not terribly into blogging about it right now.

Sick again?!?!?!

Dammit.

Not pleased about this, but what can you do? Looks like the boy is getting something again too. What a winter!
