Monday check-in and it's not good news. I gained 1.5 pounds this week, and I attribute that to the fact that I kept grabbing handfuls of the salted peanuts that were readily available at work. I went over 50g of carbs both Saturday and Sunday! Lesson learned. Barring a miracle, I probably won't be making that wedding goal of 235, but of course I have bigger priorities for the week of my wedding.

Well, last week was <200 due to the run, yesterday still <200, but this mornings weigh in (cue suspensful drumroll) 200+ - DANGIT!
Specifically 202.2/23.8%
That said; I attribute this whole increase to a week of no exercise and oodles of tasty food. No more vacations from here till Thanksgiving (TWELVE WEEKS LEFT TO GO PEOPLE!) so I need to stop dilly-dallying and hit full speed ahead!
205-21 = 184 to hit by November. I Am Going To Do It!

I am down 1.4 pounds this week and am pleased enough with that. Next week should be doubtful as there is a big wedding this weekend ... lots of scary choices!

Anyway, after some Vicodin and muscle relaxer I was mobile again. I think the drugs made me retain water or something, as no loss last week.
This week, however, the scale shows me a svelt 350.5
356 - 5.5 = 13.0 lbs. to go for the challenge--piece of (no) cake!
Hope everyone else is keeping healthy--even over the long weekend.
