Weigh In - Week 13

I haven't posted in a while...blah, blah, blah...

I'm not beating myself up about the non-posting thing anymore...Someone said it is tough to post when you have a kid and they are right!

So, as you can see, I have posted yet another 3 lb weight loss. At the rate I am going, I will not only hit my goal weight of 50 lbs by the end of summer, but I will hit my "aggressive goal" weight of 176 by that time as well...still waiting for my plateau time to hit...

Some interesting notes from this week:

• I only got in 2 workouts this past week (although I tried to balance it by trying to kill myself in one of the workouts)
• My reason for not working out was a trip up to CT for an in-law party on Saturday and AJ's baptism on Sunday. We needed to travel up to see the pastor on Friday (Friday is usually a work out day for me).
• I was good with the food all week (as usual), but Saturday and Sunday morning were pretty bad. The Saturday party was Mexican themed and it was all about cheese and meat. I didn't really hold back and had plenty along with lots of Mexican beer...I expected to lose 1 lb this week and again beat expectations.

I haven't really posted about the "non scale victories". I need to do that. Here's an interesting one for now:

• Since I am now down below the weight when I was engaged, my wedding ring has gone from being firmly fitted on my finger to extremely loose. I now have to take off my ring when I am going into the pool or anything else where my finger are wet. Today when I was exercising on the elliptical machine, I wiped some sweat from my hands and the ring popped right off...Fun!

That's it for now...I'll be hitting the road for business for a few days and ironically I may have more free time (bored in my hotel room) to put in a post or 2...be on the lookout!
