POTN losers, unite!

Got away from the office and swam for an hour. Then on my way out, I hear a K9 friend was getting shot at on the other side of town, so I spent all my adrenaline trying to follow the black and white car madness, only to find he and his partner are ok. (Good rush, it made swimming look like a nap).

So I am good for exercise. Was going to Hotdog, but decided on a small white rice bowl. My stomach went Ahww...

No photos today though, sorry.

Maxy - put me down for -2.8 in my first week. Thanks!

Very nice Athena. Well done.

I erred last night with family over though it is my only real bad time in over a week. I had a BBQ'd burger on a bun, 2 cobs of corn, 1/3 of a baked potato, Caesar salad (with the creamy dressing) and a big scoop of ice cream with stewed rhubarb on top. It was sure yummy, but now I must be good for the rest of the week.

Yay! I maintained during the fair which was my goal. No weight loss, but; more importantly, no gain.

Good stuff Becky, did you get to eat any of those disgusting, yet surprisingly yummy, corn dogs and mini doughnuts?

IF that is the worst meal from the week then you did quite well Jim.

Good job Becky. Way to stay positive.

Thanks Jim and Mike. I made some major adjustments to when I take my thyroid medication, what/how I eat, and my level of activity. I feel pretty comfortable with the changes, so hopefully the weight will keep coming off.

Having family around seems to be the most assured way of crashing a diet, lol. I will be at my mom's this weekend and I'm already saving up calories so I can eat cake.

Very good! I would gain 5 pounds at a fair, I think.

I think we are going to be here for the county fair. As much as I hate crowds I feel like I have to take the boys so they can experience it - seriously American culture! I'll HAVE to eat a funnel cake.

Wow. I am in awe. Seriously. I didn't go to fair this year. I can never resist the fry bread when I do.

Have to agree with Mike on this Jim If this is the worst of it, you are way ahead of the game.

I didn't do to bad yesterday, sensible breakfast and lunch (skrimping on calories because of staying at my aunts house this week), dinner was reasonable and I had a bit of ice cream, too.
Got in 2 walks yesterday; morning was a 15 minute brisk walk, evening was a 30 minute not-so-brisk walk with my uncle.

Hey, sounds like everyone is doing pretty good here! And lots of good habits in the making, too. I also like salads and I often buy the pre-packaged lettuce or just a pre-packaged salad of some sort from the deli.

After my 70 calorie breakfast I stuck it out and had a 250 calorie lunch. Then went walking, then went to the Y to work out. Got weighed and I'm 1.5 pounds lighter than last week. Of course, I suspect one pound of the loss is just because I have less food in my innards, lol. I let myself have a 500 calorie supper, so I'm a happy camper again. I'll be glad to be on my regular schedule the rest of the week.

cool, is that your 2nd week weigh in or just a random one?

Yes, second week weigh-in. I only weigh on Tuesdays. The Y has a neato digital scale.

Not a fan of either. Did have ice cream every evening in a dish, not a cone, but; resisted the polish sausage and baked potato. Also, I did a lot of walking, standing, and sweating, it was 90+F everyday and heat indexes near 100,
