OK, well better late than never, I guess. Today five different people asked where my update was so I figure I had better post one. This past week has been pretty rough. I was doing VERY good and as of last Thursday I was down to 340lbs (20 down from my start) then Friday happened. On Friday my employer decided to be nice and bought several pizzas for the entire office… well, I slipped BIG time and ate about 6 pieces. That night I weighed in at 347 (7lbs heaver than I had been that morning). I felt awful and instead of just accepting the fact that weight fluctuates I got pretty upset… which was resolved by eating a large chocolate Blizzard from Dairy Queen with loads of peanut butter sauce and peanut butter cups. Then sunday happened, being Easter there was, of course, a large family meal which in our case was corned beef.

So, like I said, the weekend was tough and I beat myself up about it. Friday night through Monday morning my weight remained a constant 347, and I didn’t go to the gym.

One thing that I’ve learned was that I must AT ALL COSTS avoid foods with a great deal of sodium (like corned beef and bacon) and I should also avoid things that are white bread based. These foods make me feel AWFUL and lethargic.

So yesterday I woke up ill from Easter dinner and could not go to work. By the afternoon I realized that I just needed to suck it up and get beyond this, so I hit the gym hard and today I weighed in at 341, for a total loss this week of 4 pounds. Not bad I guess.

And I learned a few thing.

Look for better news next week, and Ill post promptly on Monday morning.
