Day 794 weigh in day and WOW!

I'm just going to get right to it today because I am more than happy with what the scale told me this morning. Last week I was 319.0lbs on the nose and this week I am down to 314.6lbs! that's a 4.4 pound drop this week folks! and it would appear that I am on a roll with more than 8 pounds lost in the last two weeks and of course a new low weight this week. I am down a total of 219 pounds now or 41.01% total body weight to date and both of those numbers are incredible to me as I can still remember day 1 like it was yesterday and how I felt like this was going to be the next attempt that didn't quite go the distance. I am a mere 40 pounds away from my initial goal of hitting 275 pounds and slightly less than 15 pounds from getting below that 300 pound mark and both of those figures don't seem so far away to me and I am pretty confident that I will get there sooner than later but more on that later, here are some images to show what I have lost and what weighs the same as me currently as well as a shot of the scale this morning.

My beautiful dogs standing on the scale this morning I still can't believe the drop this week!

This 1989 GSXR 250R weighs in at 315 pounds just like me.

MMA fighter Muhammed Lawal comes in at 219 pounds and is what I have lost to date.

I did get out to the gym yesterday if only for a short not very intense workout, it was more than I had done all week so it felt good. I rode the stationary bike for 20 minutes 90rpm on level 11 and then I walked for 10 minutes on the treadmill at 3.2mph on an incline of 3.5% and called it a day because I didn't want to push it and end up coughing as I am feeling better but not 100% just yet. The walk on the treadmill was so short partially because I was picking wify up from work so that we could get home early and take a walk so I did get that in as well. The walk was rather relaxed at the speed of a 4 year old pumping up hills on a training wheeled Dora the explorer bike but I jogged around my daughter as she rode and walked most of the just over a mile backwards, it was nice to get out with the kid and I can't wait for it to warm up some so that bike rides can come back into play.

I need to lose 3.75 pounds per week until April 2nd in order to hit that under 300 pounds goal by then, I have dropped 4 pounds two weeks in a row so I am not expecting another awesome week next week but stranger things have happened. A trip to the gym is in the plans for today but I will see how I feel later before I decide for sure, I do believe that if I keep my calories in check and get a couple workouts in this week and don't over do it before I am fully back to my normal self that I can have another good week and perhaps I will dip into single digits as in 309 pounds come next Friday. There I go again, mister ambitious and I know that would be a HUGE number for this week but pair the fact that I have missed the gym all week with the fact that I will feel much better in a couple days time (hopefully) and I have a feeling that I will be in full on bust ass mode all week.

Being within 15 pounds of getting under 300 pounds has put me in a more than great mood today and I am looking forward to next week already and I haven't even made it through today! Remember to get that H2O in and eat well because we are responsible for what we do or do not eat, we are the only one holding the controls when our daily decisions come into play and at the end of the day that person looking back at us in the mirror is the reason that we fail or succeed.

Thats all I got.

As Ever
