I stepped on the scale early this morning, and to my horror......I was weighing in at _______ pounds!!!!
Trust me: You won't be getting that info from me right now. Here's what I can't figure out though. I go to Chicago and eat Chicago Deep Dish pizza for 2 nights. I get on the scale Monday morning, no change. I eat very light all week, get on the scale Thursday morning......
....HELLO!!!! 4 pounds heavier!!!?????
It doesn't make sense. I am miserable right now. Seriously, its amazing what 4 pounds can make in how you feel. Sluggish, swollen, puffy......ughh!!! Too much sitting and no excercise I am sure has maybe just a LITTLE to do with it.
Back to the road and running next week....:(
See you guys Sunday morning, IF I can find some jeans that fit me..! :)

O.k. I can truly relate to the horror of realizing weight in the midst of skinny colored glasses!!! Discipline is all i can tell you. The "d" word as ugly as it comes with concerns to your body however it is the best gift ever. Your body wants to betray you it screams let me eat that doughnut plllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeease! It's never just that one time.hhmmmm.

Bobby;
I want to set you free from the scale... they are a waste of time and don't accurately reflect your weight or health.... why? Your weight in pounds can vary an awful lot based on your fluid status.. unless you are consistently weighing yourself the same time of day on a consistent basis it's really a crude tool. Nutritionists use much more accurate tools such as BMI (Body Mass Index) and others to help gauge weight you are at health wise. If you sign on with a certified personal trainer at the YMCA or other personal fitness center they can actually do a body fat measurement which is so much more important than your weight. I would recommend you consider that as part of a package deal where you get a couple of months in to a consistent diet & exercise regimen that works for you... It's worth the expense and based on your temperament will probably be a huge plus for your life.

PB, you do know that your weight fluctuates from day to day, right? Check it tomorrow, it may have gone back down. Weight loss specialists suggest you weigh yourself once a week, not every day, because of this. After years of trying, I know this. ; ) Good luck, PB...may you get to where you want to be!

God loves even 4 pounds more of you. I’m sure you will shed those pounds because you are persistent. Be encouraged brother.
