Week #23 is here!

Weekly Weigh-In #23: 206.5 lbs.
Last week’s Weigh-In: 208.7 lbs.
Gain/loss of: -2.2 lbs.
Weekly average lost: 2.0 lbs.
Weight loss for August: 6.4 lbs.
Weight loss to date: 90.6 lbs.

Well, it looks like I held up at 206.5 which is good enough for me this week. That’s a little over 2 lbs. lost so I’m happy about that.

UPDATED 12:27 p.m.: Ah, you gotta love scales, don’t you? Okay, maybe you don’t.

At the doctor’s office yesterday I weighed in at 204 lbs. but my bathroom scale measured me at 206.5 lbs. And don’t even get me started on the accuracy of the Wii Fit “scale,” although sometimes I wish it were correct as it has me at around 200 lbs. No biggie; I’m getting there.

Speaking of Wii Fit, I haven’t gotten near it for at least three days and it’s not because its novelty has worn off. I just haven’t had time to do it. I know, I know, I’m always preaching that there are no excuses for not exercising but I had my reasons for not working Wii Fit into a few days:

Saturday: Entertained a visiting friend and played Yahtzee until God-knows-when
Sunday: Played with the kid all night
Monday: Rode my bike 8+ miles before my physical

See? Legitimate reasons, one and all. But tonight I will return to it.

I’m starting to come up with a list of possible restaurants that I will want to eat at once I hit 200 lbs. Most of them are local burger joints (Yellow Basket in Carson–I’m looking at you!); some more well-known in the states. I’ve decided to weed out the more expensive/fancy places (Lucille’s BBQ, Islands, Red Robin*) because I want my first “bad” meal to have its roots in how I got to nearly 300 lbs. in the first place–by fast food. It’s my way of enjoying a rare greasy meal and giving a giant FU to it at the same time. But who really knows for sure where we’ll end up eating.

So there you have it. Plans are in the works. 6.5 lbs. to go. WOO HOO!
