Weekly Weight Loss Update

Last Week: 206.6

This Week: 205.6

That's 1 pound, down almost 5 since starting. This is a good thing. A big win in my book. Considering this past Saturday we went to the Swashbucklers Pub, then to the Mount Hope Winery where I enjoyed some brews and for the first time enjoyed some wine. Good stuff, although very dangerous. Since I tore through some of the wine when we got home.

As for activity, mainly the stationary bike, and I lifted free weights twice. Getting into a better rhythm with that, also I cleared the junk in front of the weights in the garage and cleaned off the dust. That way I can use that now too.

Hopefully the weight keeps coming off.

Fingers crossed.

Awesome Image of the Week

A month late, but oh well things work like that sometimes. Larry the Gnome won the Mountains Fantasy Football League. In that league, the champion gets the million dollar belt for winning the title. Larry "won" and that is Awesome? Oh, and Larry faced me in the championship round. I should have dropped Peyton and added someone else. Fail.

Weekly Weight Loss Update

Last week: 206.8

This week: 206.6

Well, it's not much of a loss, but it is a loss. I'll take a negative 0.2 on the scale since that keeps me within the 2lb loss average. This past week was really the beer, I need to get back to Miller Lite. I tried some Michelob Variety pack, which was very good, but probably on the calorie heavy side. Oh well I'll live.

As for activity this week, I rode the stationary bike again for the most part. It's easy to do, plus I do not even realize I'm riding the bike when I'm playing video games. The hour just flies by. Also, I did interval run once and started lifting some weights on Monday. I'll get there.

You know, the weight sure is easy to put on, but extremely hard to take off. Especially for me, damn genetics.

Weekly Weight Loss update

One week down, many more to go.

Last week I was at 210.4 on the scale.

This week, 206.8.

That is a loss of 3.6 pounds, was not expecting that much but I will take it. I was shooting for 2 pounds.

My activity last week was minimal. I did not lift any weights like I want to at least twice a week. I ran on the treadmill once, I did some interval running for 10 minutes then walked for 20 minutes and I did some Wii Fit Plus and Wii Sports. Most of the activity came from the stationary bike that is now back in the living room, while playing video games. Not a whole of activity on my part, but the garage is cold and that is where a lot of our workout equipment is.

As for eating, I just watched my portions a little more than than I have been.

Still about 20 more pounds to go until I'm happy.

My Super Bowl Wishes

Well the NFL's wildcard weekend has ended and 8 teams are set to play in the divisional round. The Steelers did not make the playoffs, so that means the interest in the games just is not there. But there are teams in the playoffs I do not want to win the Super Bowl, well pretty much all of them. Hey, someone is going to win and I hope it will be the one I despise the least.

Here is my list:

1. San Diego Chargers. Why? The QB class of 2004. Ben has 2, Elisha has 1, Jim Sorgi has 1 (yeah, I know he's a back up, but he still has a ring), and well why not Rivers. That way that draft class will be one of the best when it is all said and done.

2. New York Jets. Why? To show all the NFL teams out there, when you have a chance to eliminate a team you do so. I'm looking at you Indianapolis Colts and Cincinnati Bengals.

3. Baltimore Ravens. Why? Although I really hate the Ravens I can at least respect the kind of football they play.

4. Arizona Cardinals. Why? It is the only NFC team I hate the least that's why.

Ok, I really do not want these teams to win at all, and it will really really really suck if they do.

1. Minnesota Vikings. Why? Bert Favre is a major P.O.S. I don't care what you think about the guy, he strung the Packers along for years with all his I'm going to retire I'm not going to retire BS.

2. Dallas Cowgirls. Why? I hate them. Romo and Jones, especially Jones don't deserve the Super Bowl prize.

3. New Orleans Saints. Why? No reason other than I do not think Brees is a good playoff QB, a Super Bowl will make everyone even go more up his ass.

4. Indianapolis Colts. Why? I never wanted Peyton to get one ring, let alone anymore. I wanted him to suffer the same fate as Marino. Great in the regular season, a let down in the playoffs.

See, I made the playoffs interesting.

Awesome Image of the Week

Image from Yahoo Sports follow the link for some more images

Well, well, well, the great Cincinnati Bengals lost their playoff game to the Jets. The same team they played last week, and instead of playing hard, they chose to lay down and let them win. Therefore, letting the Jets walk into the playoffs. Well that backfired. Eliminate your competition in the regular season, especially a team like the Jets, good defense, good running attack.

Oh and the image of the Bungles fan sitting there after their loss is Awesome.

Water Main Break in Harrisburg

On the news last night I caught this news story about the water main break in Harrisburg. I heard something about wooden pipes, it was too late for me to look it up, I was getting ready to head for bed. This morning I checked the story out online. Here is the link to the article.

I found the answer to the wooden pipes, within the last decade their were still running. That is insane. Wooden pipes only replaced within the past year, how do you let that happen. Oh, I know how, it is the same line of thinking that paves a road, then 2 months after paving a road you dig it up. Oh...you mean that is kind of what Harrisburg did anyhow. They used stimulus money to pave some roads that need to be dug up to replace an aging water pipes. Way to go, way to waste money.

Maybe it is me, I do not get why updating and maintenance is not something that is put in the budgets for these cities/boroughs and they act all surprised when the system is old and they have to shell out a lot of money to fix the problem. Update sections at a time, plan for it, you cannot rely on federal stimulus money. What happens to the tax dollars you get from the residents that live there, is a monkey doing your yearly budget?

I wish I had an answer for this, but I really do not. The system is all sorts of messed up and it will never get fixed because too many people like the system the way it is. This is when you need to realize local/state elections have more of an impact on your life then the presidential election, even though everyone wants to make you think that election is the most important.

The scale is a dirty lying whore

The scale use to be nice to me. The scale told me each week that I was lighter than the week before. The scale did not show me any change for quite some time. That was just fine with me, I did not need the scale to tell me I was lighter. I was at a good point. Then it started to lie to me, tell me I was heavier than the week before, so I started ignoring the scale for a while. Not looking every week like I was before because I was putting in a lot of work and the scale told me i was not. After a while though, I went back to the scale, I needed to know what was going on. When I went back to the scale, it was like old times for a while. I was lighter than the week before, we were happy. Then the scale started lying to me again. Telling me I was heavier, damn you scale. Now the scale is really mad at me. Telling me I'm at 210 lbs. I hate you scale. I hate you.

Ok, it is not the scales fault, although I would like to blame the scale, it is my fault. I really have not been watching my intake and doing a consistent workout. That leaves me at a point in my weight I wished I would have never gotten back to. It's a pain in the ass to drop that weight.

Today is the day where I officially try to lose the damn weight I have gained. My goal is 190lbs, 20lbs to drop. This will be rough. Those last 20lbs were the hardest to take off the last time.

I held a weight of 185 for quite sometime, I'd love to see if I can get down to 175, but I am really doubting it, my frame does not suit the 175. 185-190 seems to be really good for me.

I will post my weekly weight here on Wednesdays if you are interested in following that. Probably even the exercises I have been doing, maybe.

ugh.
