Sara said to me this morning: "You look fat again." This is gonna get ugly.   more »

I've been extremely busy at work lately and by the time I get home it's very late and I'm dog tired;  I haven't run in a week and a half and I didn't even do any pushups/situps last week.  I was not looking forward to this weigh-in.  Well, nothing can be done about it, here's the data:

Original weight: 189

Last week's weight: 189

This week's weight: 189

Hmmm... even with the lack of exercise, I didn't gain any weight.  Must be the stress keeping off the weight.  My project will be completed by the end of this week, so I'll be back to normal hours and hopefully can start losing exercising and losing weight again.  I'll have just over four weeks to hit my target weight of 182!!!

Weigh in results from Sunday July 15:

Original weight: 189
Last week's weigh in: 189
Current weigh in: 189

Status quo.

I actually had dropped down to 186 after a good run last week, but Sara and I went to a BBQ on Saturday and I pigged out on the ribs...and sausage...and cake...

Six more weeks to go, contestants!!!

Weigh in results from Sunday July 8:

Original weight: 189  (188.8, to be exact)

Last week's weigh in: 192

Current weigh in: 188.8

So I'm back to my starting weight - I knew that mega run in Calgary was good for me.

So the strange thing is, I've actually not lost any weight.  However, I feel like I've lost weight, I sorta look like I've lost weight, and most significantly, pants that were previously tight on me now fit me well!!!  So I may not have lost any weight, but I've definitely lost some girth.

First week of the FatOff and I've been terrible - I only ran once, although I did do basic push-ups/sit-ups four times, and I've had some baaaad foods: cheesecake, ice cream, cookies, chips - and that was before I went on vacation!!  Up here in Bonnyville Alice and Randy have fed us very well - perogies with sour cream and bacon with sausage, lots of good beef jerky, snack foods galore, and last night's dinner was really awesome: Alberta tenderloin on the BBQ, and it was possibly the best steak I've ever had.  Corn and asparagus accompanied it, which is okay, but the dessert was decadent: caramel lava cake with ice cream.  Oh, and during the day we stopped at a Dairy Queen (for Sara's birthday treat) and I had the caramel Waffle Crisp Blizzard (really, really good) while Sara had a Brownie Earthquake... which of course I ended up eating a third of it.

Anyways, here's the weigh-in data:

Initial weigh in: 189lbs

First week weigh in: 192lbs

So yes, I've actually gained weight instead of losing.  Today we're off to Calgary to visit Jenn and Steve.  I WILL run in Calgary.  I WILL!!!!!
