My Aunt Helene was right: I was insane for posting my weight loss/gain on the blog every week. Last week was a disaster, and Easter dinner didn’t help. (Neither did the Guinness I had on Saturday’s Guys Night Out, right Vinnie?) Regrettably, I am almost back to my starting weight of 232. As of this morning, I was 229 – a five pound increase in a little over a week. I’m a disgrace.
Although I am still trying to follow Weight Watchers – and drinking a ridiculous amount of water every day – I am still eating junk. This is tougher than I thought it would be, but I’m not giving up . . . yet.
Maybe the baby needs a personal trainer!
ReplyDeleteEaster dinner a week early?
ReplyDeleteGuinness is actually not as bad as a lot of other premium beers. It's all of 210 calories (draught), which is less than the same pint amount of something like milk or orange juice. ..that and it just tastes good, so what else do you need? :-)
ReplyDeleteLin - Are you offering?
ReplyDeleteProf - Yeah, my brother-in-law will be at HIS in-laws in Pittsburgh next week.
Michael - I know, but when you drink six of them . . .
Eat BreathSavers...they are sugar free. HA HA
ReplyDeleteSure, I'd love to push you around!!
ReplyDeleteDescribe junk--what are you eating?
How about we say, since you like pin-ups so much, if you don't lose the weight by a certain time, you have to post a pic of you in your "Hanes"? Motivated?
Hang in there, bro!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm.....Guiness...
RT - SHUT IT!
ReplyDeleteLin - I'm not making my points. Usually, if I cheat on something small, I say "To hell with it" and go full bore on a whole lot of crap . . . then feel guilty about it for the rest of the day.
And, you have NO SHOT at seeing that pic. I wanna keep readers, not send them jumping off bridges.
The worst part is that you are probably one of those eat-anything-I-want-and-still-be-a-size-2 chicks. I hate those people.
CUG - Agreed. Guinness rules!
I used to not be able to gain weight, but I no longer have that problem! That was alot more fun! A friend who was enjoying that I could no longer eat any and everything told me that she hated me for eating extra bread when we were in college! When you overdo, you have to turn up the exercise or slack off the eating!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, drop and give me 25!
Still not done with the 25 yet! I'm with you, I gained all I lost back too. But we can't give up! We have children we need to annoy well into their adulthood!! So get crackin! Crackah!
ReplyDeleteGive me a dollar every time you eat a piece of junk food.....that'll work.
ReplyDeleteOne word - RICECAKES!
Lin - That's been the problem this week. When I get home from daywork, I am exhausted. When I am working 4x12, I exercise before I leave.
ReplyDeleteSssteve - Could never do sit-ups, even when I was skinny. I want to get back to running . . . as long as my knees can take it.
Randal - You just want Shannon going to Penn with my money!
Do the easy crunches where you bend your legs, and aim for the air over your knees. You don't come all the way up. Is that clear as mud? And breathe out your mouth!
ReplyDeleteYou could fast walk on your treadmill and probably do as well as jogging!(and save the knees!)
