Day 90

What I did:

• Caught a cold. Bleh.

Day 89

What I did:

• Forgot to post this on the correct day. I don't remember what happened.

Day 88

What I did:

• Went on a date with my wife. We left the kids with my parents and had the whole day to ourselves. It's something that we look forward to every year.

Day 87

What I did:

• Had Thanksgiving dinner with my family, including my parents

Apparently, I forgot to post this on the right day. Oh, well. It's here now.

Day 86

What I did:

• Drove to my parents' house. Well, give credit where credit is due: my wife drove. But I was there. Mostly.
• Ate too much. I'm practicing for tomorrow. Yeah, that's it.

Day 85

What I did:

• Woke up too early, considered exercising, decided to be lazy instead

End of Week 12

Day 0: 303.6
End of Week 11: 277.8
End of Week 12: 273.4
Lost 30.2 lbs

Today's weigh-in is a bit of a milestone. While 30 lbs is a nice round number, it also marks 10% of my starting weight. So there's that. I'm a little concerned about this next week, though. Thanksgiving is in three days... All that turkey... And mashed potatoes... And gravy... Yum yum yum. Well, great. Now I'm hungry. Um, well, hungrier.

Day 84

What I did:

• 30 minutes on the stationary bike for about 9.5 miles

Picture isn't uploading. *shrug* I'll try later.

Day 83

What I did:

• Took a rest day. Sunday rest days are the best rest days, 'cause I don't have to feel guilty about them.

Day 82

What I did:

• Stayed home. Yay?

Day 81

What I did:

• Had a Caesar salad at lunch and pizza for dinner. Bad idea. I could have/should have exercised to reduce the calorie deficit, but I'm kinda in an exercise slump. Not sure what to do about that just yet.

Day 80

What I did:

• Shot my bow for the first time in at least nine years. There was a lot more walking than I was expecting ('cause I missed so much), but I still managed to mangle the target.

The target

Day 79

What I did:

• Pounded on a punching bag for about 10 minutes. Only tore up one knuckle, though I'm a little worried about what colors my hands will be tomorrow. Oh, well. It was fun, right?

Day 78

What I did:

• Wasted (yes, wasted) 2.5 hours of my life getting new tires.  Had a blow-out on the way to work.  Fortunately, I hadn't gotten very far (maybe 5 miles), so I turned around and limped home.  Dude at the tire place said it would be about an hour.  Well, it wasn't.
• Slept for three hours this afternoon due to my new antibiotic.  I experienced three of the five potential side effects with my first pill, of which "tiredness" is one.  Yippie.  Nine more days.  Ugh.  Good thing I had that blow-out, right?  Well, my bank account disagrees.

End of Week 11

Day 0: 303.6
End of Week 10: 278.0
End of Week 11: 277.8
Lost 25.8 lbs

Not a big change this week.  I'm a little surprised.  I thought that I was pretty good this last week.  *shrug*  Progress is progress, I guess.

Day 77

What I did:

• Worked. Not very exciting. I know. Still, for today, that was an accomplishment.

Day 76

What I did:

• Rest day and all that

Day 75

What I did:

• 11 miles on the stationary bike in 34 minutes

Day 74

What I did:

• Came up with a clever way to say that I didn't do much. Unfortunately, I forgot what it was.

Day 73

What I did:

• 15 miles on the stationary bike in 45 minutes
• Finally finished Final Fantasy XIII

Day 72

What I did:

• A whole lot of nothing. And tonight, I don't even care.

Day 71

What I did:

• Danced with my wife. It was simple, but awesome.

End of Week 10

Day 0: 303.6
End of Week 9: 279.8
End of Week 10: 278.0
Lost 25.6 lbs

I've lost 25 lbs!  Yay!  I'm not sure how I managed to drop almost two pounds last week, though, considering that it was my worst week ever.  Maybe I was walking more than I thought.  I dunno.  My wife is both proud of me and mad at me.  Sorry, honey.  I don't know what to tell you.

EDIT:  Just realized that this pic is dated Oct 10, rather than Nov 10.  Whoops.

Day 70

What I did:

• 10 miles on the stationary bike in 30 mins.  That's 20 MPH.  I can maths.
• Got back on track with the food and the eating.

Day 69

What I did:

• Took another rest day.  This one was the official, planned one, though.  You know, 'cause it's Sunday.

Day 68

What I did:

• Returned home from a conference for work. That's why my numbers have been so abysmal. I'm not looking forward to Monday's weigh-in.

Day 67

What I did:

• Mostly nothing, but I found it pretty draining...

Day 66

What I did:

• Can I pull the lame "walked around a whole bunch" thing again? Actually, I guess I wasn't walking. Just kinda standing around all day. My back is killing me...
• Had my worst food day since I started tracking it. I was at a conference that included lunch and a meet-and-greet afterward, where little appetizers flowed like things that flow really fast. There were also tables with cookies. I managed to walk past two of them, but didn't make it past the third. Which reminds me: I didn't log the cookie... Be right back... :S

Day 65

What I did:

• Walked some, but not sure how far. It wasn't walking for walking's sake. I suppose it would probably actually be strolling. It's something, though, right?

Day 64

What I did:

• 7 miles on the stationary bike in 20 minutes.  That's a little more than 20 MPH, I think.  I wasn't really paying attention to the speed this time.  Too busy watching Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

End of Week 9

Day 0: 303.6
End of Month 2: 281.6
End of Week 9: 279.8
Lost 23.8 lbs

Zero pounds net gain/loss.  That's kinda nifty, I guess.  I'm not really surprised.  I seem to have gotten complacent.  And by "complacent", I mean lazy.  I didn't exercise at all this week, and I wasn't very careful with the food and the eating.  I haven't been sleeping very well lately, and I wouldn't be surprised if the two are connected.  I'll just have to do better.

Day 63

What I did:

• Bother to come up with a clever excuse.  Wait, that goes under the "What I didn't" section.  Never mind.  You didn't see anything.

Day 62

What I did:

• Only six calories over.  Now that Halloween and trip to Safford are over, I should be able to get back on schedule.

Day 61

 What I did:

•  Went to a birthday party and was pretty good
• Went to Carl's Jr on the way to the birthday party and wasn't very good

Not at home right now, so I can't clean up the screenie. Maybe I'll do it when I get home.  Updated the screenie.  Nice and purty, now.
