Well this sucks….

[Guest guest]

I had smashed my knee up Saturday evening. I wasn't able to work out

Monday or Tuesday but was Wednesday after which I weighed myself at

275.5lbs. I worked out pretty hard Wednesday and then on Thursday,

Friday and this morning even (burning about 1000+ calories cardio and

whatever amount weight lifting).

My mother, bless her heart, had met me at Costco last Friday and

purchased a pair of 42 " waist jeans for me (I had another pair the

same size but different shade).

Today, after my workout, I decided to weigh myself again. I know I

know I preach against weighing too often. Sue me. Anyway, I was down

to 269.1 lbs. What the heck? Who loses 6lbs in 3 days when they're 11

months out? Not to mention that I majoraly fell off the wagon last

night with our company's Christmas bar outing. I had a " few " glasses

of wine, they've got free drinks for 15 minutes half way though the

night (you might not be able to drink a lot in that amount of time

but you sure can ORDER a lot), and a mess of hot wings. I know bad

but I wasn't hung over because I waited for a couple hours before

ending the night and I drank a dozen or so waters at the bar. Oh you

can drink scotch (though I recommend single malt) and gin too (not

the cheap stuff, all they had was sapphire but that's bearable).

Now I've got to use 269 or 270 when programming the cardio and will

have to work harder or longer to burn the same amount of calories.

It's a good thing I was actually doing about 1100 calories which will

probably be 1060 or so now. ARGH!

Also, I decided to slob out a bit today and not wear a belt. Big

mistake they're almost falling off me. Fine maybe they didn't fit

last Friday either. I don't know. This really sucks I think I wore

these things like once or twice. Oh and Wednesday I tried to wear a

pair of slacks that were 46 " because, well, they're the only blue

ones I have. Smooth. I could have walked around with another person

snuck into my pants. The rest of my slacks are 44 " and probably too

big now too. Of course I purchased all of these for only $14 - $20

but it's the principle of the thing!

If anyone sees slacks on sale at Walmart, Meijer, Kohl's etc. Let me

know. It looks like I'm buying a 40 " now. If I get down to a 38 " I

think that was my smallest adult waist. For the ladies out there

getting below a 40 " is sort of a big deal for guys, at least I think

it is, because normal weight people are all in the 30 inch area like

32, 34, 36, and even 38.
