I have to admit some slippage

August 18, 2007

I’ve been keeping track of my points but not religiously. I continue to weigh myself each morning and I’m down about 14 pounds from when I started, which is old news. (I ended being up 1.3 lbs on my Sunday weigh-in) It seems like not gaining is progress, but I need to move down now which means I need to give up the little excesses I’ve been enjoying like bites of peanut butter brownies at lunch yesterday and somehow, I forgot to tell them to hold the mayo on my otherwise healthy 12 grain hazelnut bread 1/2 turkey sandwich. Also, that darn wife of mine didn’t eat her 1/2 of the home made potato chips. Mom would have been disappointed if I’d've just thrown the excess away, wouldn’t she? So, do it Doug. Get that next 6 lbs off so you can get two more gold stars!!

I Know What You’re Thinking

Ha ha!! He’s back to his old tricks and off the plan! And, to some extent, the past couple of weeks I’ve been doing more coasting with my birthday, some parties, a trip to the coast for a wedding, etc, than going down. However, as of this morning, in my own weigh-in, I’m now down a total of about 14 pounds. If I’d've been perfect, I’d've been down more like 25 lbs by now, but I’m enjoying life, more careful now, and still on the program and heading south. It felt really good to be perfect on the plan yesterday and then down this morning. I am happy that my daughter Heather is following the plan and I’m looking forward to getting her updates. How are the rest of you doing? Bart, are you pudgy yet? It’s been about 21 years now and it looks like you’re safe.

Thanks for all of the support and I’ll publish my actual results this Sunday!!
