1 Pound...

I weighed in this morning: 299, a loss of 1 pound for the week. I suspect next week will be pretty good to compensate, but who knows, any more?

It's funny, yesterday at the gym I had 7 or 8 people who had never spoken to me before stop and tell me how impressed they were with how well I was doing, ironic to have a small week at the same time.

People keep telling me I'm getting skinny. I still weigh 300 pounds. I am not skinny, and that's okay, folks. I feel much better, I am not as overweight, I don't look as bad, and that's great: I'm proud of my accomplishment. But I'm not skinny.

I'll let you know when I am skinny, though.

Crazy Busy

The last week has been crazy busy, but it should settle down by Monday. I've worked out and eaten pretty much as normal for the week except for a couple things. Tuesday was my birthday and Mom sent me an angel food cake; I ate about half the cake over the course of my birthday, which is about 900 calories. I also reduced my normal food intake that day a bit. Weds. I only did cardio in the morning because I had to catch a train to L.A. for a meeting, first thing. My workouts are therefore shifted a day. And in L.A. I had a bleu cheese and walnut salad for lunch, which simply cannot have been horrible. However...
