... I hope you have had a successful week of losing and moving ... I don't know about y'all but this time change has killed my evening walks ... I will consider weighing in on Friday but a mulligan may be in order
) Anyway, maybe can finally whittle down that plateau some.Superbob thought he would take a mulligan after eating way too much birthday cake but he snuck a peek this morning and was astonished to find he is up only 1 pound.
Net loss since start of Throw-Down: 19 pounds.
Have a doctor's check-up next week so would like at least to shed that 1 pound so won't be up any from three months ago.
On balance (so to speak), been on a plateau for months, but Superdawg and I doubled distance of our walk yesterday -- twice around the perimeter of a park instead of once (Superdawg said, "great, old man, now let's do 3 -- but knees said not quite yet.
Good luck to everybody this week!
I KNOW that you can lose a pound by next week, and maybe you will pleasantly surprise both the doctor and yourself by losing even a little bit more. 
When I weighed at WW and found out I was down two lbs I was so so excited and it was so encouraging.
Yes Superbob...you CAN do it. Hopefully you are feeling a little better by now and that 1 lb won't be hard to whittle away. Remember, it isn't perfection that will get it done but persistance.
For me, even though I am still in the process of re-losing (is that a word?) the weight I had rapidly gained in the months prior, I am down another 2 lbs. That makes 8.2 lbs lower than at the Pigeon Forge reunion. I did have an all inclusive vacation since last posting and am heading out tomorrow on a business trip to Orlando so I'll have to be very careful. When I get back I need to visit my ortho surgeon regarding my torn posterior tendon. The steroid injection is worn off and it is again very painful and swollen. I need to take advantage of being steroid free for a bit and get some more pounds off. My knee is doing great though!
I?m taking a mulligan ?. No, I think a sabbatical might be in order?. I just can not get in step ?. Stress leads to muchies, which leads to cream cheese and pepper jelly on Ritz, which leads to salted nuts?. I could go on but I?m sure you get the picture ?..Hey Mom, send Xanax
The REF will have to rule as to whether you are allowed to do this.
Well, DW has basically gone out of the meal-cooking business -- and after 42 years and her health problems, who can blame her? So it's out to eat again tonight. Problems are, this gets rather expensive, plus hard for SB to control cals/sodium/sugar/carbs etc. Any suggestions -- apart from SB trying to use his superpowers to become a chef at this advanced stage?
...lalalalalalalalala.....), beef stew, fish, carrots, etc....you know all about it). Applebees has good health conscious stuff as well. While you're looking for healthy things, make sure you have at least one thing you really like!
Superbob may have to take one of those chimp-like sabbaticals until he finds a cooking class entitled, "Teaching Helpless Old Men to Prepare Nutritionally Balanced Meals for Two."
Thanks for the suggestions, but we don't have a Chilis in this whole part of the state -- can you believe that? We do have a neighborhood Applebees, and go there a lot, but the WW steak and portobellos, while tasty, has a microscopic steak buried under tons of broccoli -- making me hate broccoli when I didn't hate it before.
We go to Crackerbarrel a lot too...But don't know that those baskets of cornbread and biscuits don't destroy the cause.
Okay - I'm back - and no smaller. I had sworn I was going to be hot and sexy when I turned 50. So I have a few weeks to lose about 15 pounds.
I've been doing protein shakes for breakfast, cottage cheese and fruit for lunch and a regular sensible meal. Not much is happening. But I've pretty much decided that there's really not much else I can deny myself and still feel like life is worth living.
I will tell you that on Thursday when I looked prior to going to work, I was up a pound. But I totally blame that on all the stinkin' saline solution the pump into you when you're on an IV. I feel puffy and swollen all over.
(The Ref will end that when she returns)?.. Your leader is weak and not providing any example except for bad ? Maybe we should elect a new leader ?. DW gave me a talking to last night, although tempered in love she got the point across
That's the observation of Superbob himself.
