One Over Par...

Well, I finally had a gain... +1 this week. It was bound to happen sometime - I'm less than 30 pounds from my goal.

 

I ate better than I did last week... I exercised more, and with more intensity, than I did last week... I did better with my water than I did last week... but last week I dropped 10 pounds, and this week, I gained one of them back. I was sick overnight, and the fine folks at PHC say that most people, when they are sick with a stomach ailment, actually do tend to experience a gain. No one who has gotten sick has experienced any kind of freakish weight loss for that week - they've either been down very slightly, or up a little bit.

 

We had our church's anniversary Sunday, and that always means a huge spread of food. I brought a four-ounce piece of turkey breast and some jello to eat. I stayed busy in the kitchen fixing drinks, making tea, and taking out the trash. But sadly, my reward for staying faithful this week was a +1. I received a lot of compliments, though - anniversary Sunday usually brings out some people who have not seen me in at least 6 months, or longer. One person thought the old music guy had been replaced with a new guy, so I was told.

 

Our ladies did a great job this week - Tammy is finally out of the 300's, Nandy is into the 160's, and Lisa and Bronnie each lost a few pounds. Charles lost two - was hoping for more than that this week.

 

I had my Chick-FIl-A grilled sandwich tonight when we got done. Tomorrow morning, it's back to work - going to try to push that scale down to around 225 this week. I'm also seriously considering running a 5K of my own next month... we'll see how that works out.

 

I think I'm supposed to go on TV tomorrow morning as a last-minute replacement for a scheduling conflict... if so, it should air Wednesday morning at 6:20 AM. Hopefully it will be up on the NBC website by Wednesday evening. If you're up getting ready for work or school at 6:20 Wednesday morning, and live in the Augusta GA area, tune in to NBC Augusta (channel 8 cable, channel 26 via rabbit ears). It will either be Nandy or the two of us. For you out-of-towners, I'll link to it from this blog if they post it online.
