204 total pounds lost to date, weighing in and a challenge posted.

It's that time of the week again kids, that's right its the day that we record any losses for the week so lets get to it. When I woke up I went straight for the scale and the number that flashed across the display was 330.2lbs, second go at it was 330.0lbs and finally attempt number three was 330.2lbs and that's a 2 pound loss for the week and I'll take it! That's 204 total pounds lost since starting and obviously a new low weight for me. I haven't focused on the number that I have left to lose in a while and when I just did the math and saw that I am 55 pounds away from my first goal weight I have to admit that I grinned to myself, I say my "first goal" because I want to get to 267 pounds as my goal instead of 275 and I am 55 away from 275. Why 267 pounds you ask? because at 267 pounds I will have lost half of my total body weight and I figure whats an extra 8 pounds to get there right? and then my Ultimate goal weight (which I am sure will change again anyways) is to weigh 250lbs but that bridge will be crossed when I get there and here are some pictures to visualize what I have lost as well as what I currently weigh.

This old Indian weighs in at 330 pounds, yep, I weigh the same as that there motorcycle.

Chuck Liddel from the UFC weighs 204 pounds, I have lost an entire Ultimate fighter dude, who wouldda thunk.

Grand total of 1570 calories but I did have a handful of my daughters chocolate peanut butter cereal after my bike ride so the calories are a tad higher but still under the 1700 that I allow myself to have. I mentioned my bike ride, I did 4.5 miles and made it all the way up that hill I mentioned a few posts back, you know, the one that kicked my ass pretty decently. I am paying for it a bit this morning with some tenderness in my right side and low back but hey! Hydration was on par with about 1.75 gallons of water but no green tea because I forgot to brew it the night before, so in addition to the H2O I did have two 33oz bottles of a sugar free drink, one cranberry and one fruit punch.

I said in yesterdays post that for every comment that I get on this post that I would do 5 push ups tomorrow, so there it is, each comment that I get here on this post before midnight tonight will make me do 5 push ups, the catch is that you need to tell me that you drank a glass of H2O and actually drink it! also posting 12 comments from the same person still only gets 5 push ups! so its 5 push ups per unique comment (I paid for not making that clear last challenge) and there you have it, two pounds lost this week, a new low and a challenge so all in all today has started out well enough besides the tenderness in my side and back.

Thanks for reading along.
