230!
Enough said.
Actually not enough but I have to catch up after being gone all week so more will have to wait.
Needless to say I am not a happy camper. An extra hard run is in my future in about 2 hours!!!!

Guess How Much I Weigh Contest Week 81
Sorry this is so late. I've been traveling all day. I would have done it before I left but I just spent 4 days in a "luxury" hotel that charged $10 a day for internet access. How ridiculous is that? You'd think for what they charge for a room they could spring for a little wi-fi.
Step right up, step right up.
Guess how much I weigh and win a fabulous prize.
To Recap:
Every Thursday I give you my stats for the week and you guess what you think the scale will say on Friday morning. The winner is the first person who guesses my weight / weight loss for the week without going over or the person who is closest without going over. Go ahead and click on comments at the bottom of this post and leave your guess.
I will post the winner when I post my weight on Fri. morning. If we get ten or more guesses I will have a prize for the winner.
Let the guessing begin. Good Luck!

The Weigh-In Week 80
225! That's what it said on the scale this morning. A loss of 1.8.
What a difference a couple of pounds can make.
Comparing this weeks weigh-in pictures to last weeks I feel like my face looks much thinner. Could just be the added stubble. Because everybody knows besides making you look cool stubble makes you look thin.
I am a little disappointed I didn't hit a 2 pound loss this week. I was down 2 pounds yesterday but I bounced back a little this morning. The good news is I tightened my belt another notch yesterday. Not quite back to the notch I was on at 215, but getting closer.
Next week is going to be a challenge. I am heading to a 4 day conference out of town next week so I'll be way off routine. The one bright side is I'm heading to warmer climates so I should be able to get some nice outdoor runs in while I am gone. And it looks like the hotel has an awesome fitness center, so that should help.
Looks like my Dad is this weeks winner with an on the nose guess. I think my dad had the exact number last week too. I wonder if he's cheating.
Have a great weekend everybody. Rumor has it we are going to get above -30 some time this weekend. I might breakout the shorts.

OK, now we are talking.
This has been a great week. I'm feeling good, I'm eating good, I have hit the gym every day this week and the scale is being my friend. I don't want to say anymore and risk jinxing tomorrows weigh-in.

A Late Night Snack
I made a good decision last night. It's sad when making one good decision is headline worthy.
I've been having trouble getting over the late evening snacking habit I developed over the holidays. Once again last night I was hit with a snack craving despite a substantial and delicious dinner of chicken and Gnocchi.
By some divine intervention I was struck with an inspiration right before I reached for a cookie. My craving miraculously turned from cookies to apples and Carmel. My wife had recently bought some small, fat free caramel dipper cups for the girls and it turned out to be just the yummy snack I needed... made all the sweeter by the knowledge that I had made a healthier decision.
I feel like this is going to be a good week for me.

Starting the Week Off Right
Over the last year it has been rare for me to weigh less on Monday morning then I did on Friday morning. I am sure it is the same for most people. You spend all week being good and then you break away from your weekly routine and all bets are off.
I am happy to say that by some miracle I am starting this week .6 pounds lighter then I ended last week.
I'd like to say this is due to some great master plan of mine. Honestly, I am a little baffled... but I'll take it.
It's an encouraging way to start the week and it has me motivated to keep up the goodness this week.
Speaking of motivated. You may have noticed from last weeks photo that I shaved my beard. You may also have noticed that I look like a total dork without facial hair.
My daughter has spent the last week starting at my face and telling me I look funny.
Message heard Ellie. The beard is on it's way back.
Somebody remind me next January not to shave my beard into a silly looking mustache thus forcing me to shave myself clean so I look like a 14 year old.

The Weigh-In Week 79
Getting back under 220 may not be as easy as I had thought. Normally when I get back to a good workout routine after having gone "crazy" for a while the pounds just melt away for the first week. That doesn't seem to be happening this week. So far I am down less than 1 pound for the week. I'll do my best to maximize that loss for tomorrow's weigh-in, but I think I need to mentally prepare for the long haul this time around.
Step right up, step right up.

Feels Like Starting Over
I am sore today.
I lifted weights for the first time in nearly 3 weeks yesterday and today I am feeling it. It made for a rough run on the treadmill this afternoon.
Since I was forced to watch a repeat of a Big 10 basketball game while running today (somebody beat me to the TV remote) I had lots of time to think and reflect.
Here's the conclusion I have come to...I am a little lost right now.
I don't have any new goals. I'm not even sure what I want my new goals to be.
I know I want to get my weight back on track. So I guess that is goal number 1.
I know I want to do more races and more Tri's this year. Although right now my motivation is to use them as workout incentives more than to try and be faster.
I had toyed with the idea of trying a half marathon this year, but I'm starting to think that is not in the works for the near future.
I am really proud of the amazing things I have done in the last two years.
Year one was all about dropping the weight.
Year to was all about becoming an athlete.
So what is year 3 going to be about?
At what point does it stop being about striving for huge accomplishments and just become a way of life?
The one thing I know for sure I want to focus on in the near future is my weight. I need to get things back on track. I want to make a serious effort to get to my new goal of 208.
Towards that end I have followed my friend Andrew and joined a weight loss competition / support group over at the blog Running Hoosier.
I figure I can use all the extra motivation I can get. Plus I think we weigh in on Mondays which will give me some added incentive to be good over the week ends.

The Weigh-In Week 78
Sorry this is so late. My computer crashed on New Years Eve and we finally got it back up and running this morning.
Not that there was a lot of good news to report.
228! That's what it said on the scale on Friday morning. Another big gain. Time to reverse the trend.
I'm back at work after two weeks vacation and ready to get back to my routine.
I'm heading to the treadmill in an hour!

The Weigh-In Week 77
225! That's what it said on the scale this morning. A gain of .8. Not bad considering today was my first workout since last Thursday...oh and that whole two days of holiday feasting.
There are two caveats to the 225.
1. I weighed in on my in-laws scale again so I am sure there is a little discrepancy with weighing in on a different scale.
2. I weighed in after my run this morning. As always I sweated a lot on my run so I was probably a few quarters low in the water weight.
Are you impressed that I got up and went for a run outdoors the day after Christmas?
I am.
It was a beautiful day for a run and it felt so good to get out.
Last week I calculated my miles for the year and realized I was only 6 miles short of making 500 miles for the year.
I never set out to make any kind of mileage goal for the year but since I am so close to such a nice round number, I am going to make 500 happen.
After this mornings run I have only 2.4 miles to go.
I'll be back in a week for a New Years weigh in.
Hope everyone had a merry holiday.

The Weigh-In Week 76
224.2. That is what it said on the scale this morning. "Technically" a gain of 1.8 pounds.
I say "technically" because I feel that I am with in my rights to actually claim a .2 pound loss.
Hear me out.
By my calculations I ate approx. 2 to 2.5 pounds of rice last night. We went out to a Thai restaurant with a group of friends. I ordered Curry. I love Curry. There was lots of sauce. It required lots of rice.
When it comes to Curry I am a charter member of the clean plate club.
So let's say 2.5 pounds of rice. I probably digested a half pound of that. Which leaves 2 pounds of rice sitting in my tummy.
1.8 - 2 = -.2.
Ta-dah! A .2 pound loss for the week.
What?!!!? You're not buying it?
Come on its Christmas! Where's your generous holiday spirit.
Merry Christmas Everybody!
I hope you all have a happy and joyous holiday.
See you in a week!

Guess How Much I weigh Contest - Week 76
I was planing on letting everyone know that I'm going on Holiday Hiatus until after the New Year, but I think it's pretty obvious that I have been on Holiday Hiatus for the last two weeks already. There will still be a contest and weigh-in each week, but don't expect any other updates until after January 3rd.
That leaves us with this weeks weigh-in. This has been a good week. As of right now I weigh exactly what I weighed last Friday. Considering how much holiday junk food has been shoved in front of my face this week, I think that's a pretty good accomplishment.
Normally I would guarantee a loss tomorrow morning. But, I have big plans tonight. Laura and I are heading out on the town with our "crew" for our annual holiday get together. Which means I won't be eating my normal reserved Thursday night meal. And thus the non-guarantee on tomorrow's weigh-in. I think a loss could still be possible but even if I have a small gain due to a rich and delicious meal out I know it will just be a little blip...gone by Saturday.
Plus I plan on kicking it extra hard on the treadmill this afternoon!
Step right up, step right up.

It's a Christmas miracle!!!!
222.4!!! That's what it said on the scale this morning. A loss of 2.4!!!!
I am shocked. I didn't think I had much of a chance at a loss this week, let alone a nice big loss. This gives me renewed hope for getting...and staying under 220 for the holidays. This loss also motivates me to keep kicking it in to gear.
In anticipation of a gain I had planned on writing about how I was going to try and just minimize the damage until the new year and then kick it into high gear after January 1st. But now I saw screw that! I'm kicking it into high gear right now.
Have a great weekend everybody.

Dyslexia wins again.
My lovely wife has often suspected that I suffer from a mild case of dyslexia. Mostly because I am constantly inverting or screwing up numbers.
To lend further credence to my lovely wife's suspicions, check out this comment from some anonymous soul about this weeks weigh-in.
"124? Dude, that's not a gain - that's a huge loss (I mean, typo)."
So yeah, that should have said 224.8.
Funny thing is I typed wrong again just now.
Could just be a case of wishful typing.

The Weigh-In Week 74
As predicted a gain.
124.8. That's what it said on the scale. A gain of 3.8 pounds. That holiday weight just didn't want to go away. Back on track this week. I can not end the year above 220. Which means, I have to get some insurance before the holidays. I'm going to try my darnedest to get under 220 for next week. A tall order I know...but I need the motivation.
Sorry about the lack of photos. I manged to lose our camera...or it was stolen, not sure which one yet. Either way it will have to be replaced.
I stopped on my way into work to offer a ride to an injured runner. He was an older guy limping along. It looked like he'd pulled something and he was going nowhere fast. I figured it would be good karma to offer a hand. I know I'd want someone to stop if I was far from home and the temp was hovering around 10 degrees.
Turns out the guy was only a few blocks from home and didn't need a ride...although he apparently needed someone to talk to. He took ten minutes to tell me his whole life story before telling me he was fine. Nice guy though and not a bad way to break up the boredom of the morning drive.
Have a great weekend everybody. Ours is packed with family fun, hope yours is to.

124.8. That's what it said on the scale. A gain of 3.8 pounds. That holiday weight just didn't want to go away. Back on track this week. I can not end the year above 220.

Guess How Much I weigh Contest - Week 74
Excuse me, can someone fix this broken record player?
There will be a gain this week. Sorry to disappoint. You deserve better. I deserve better. I will do better next week.
Step right up, step right up.
Guess how much I weigh and win a fabulous prize.
To Recap:
Every Thursday I give you my stats for the week and you guess what you think the scale will say on Friday morning. The winner is the first person who guesses my weight / weight loss for the week without going over or the person who is closest without going over. Go ahead and click on comments at the bottom of this post and leave your guess.
I will post the winner when I post my weight on Fri. morning. If we get ten or more guesses I will have a prize for the winner.
Let the guessing begin. Good Luck!
