Weigh-in: Down 2 lbs. For the Month.

2009 December 24

Conditions were ripe for a bad weigh-in, and I did not disappoint.

But, as my doctor said, “at least you didn’t gain weight and that’s good this time of year.”

So yes, it’s good. No, I’m not going to obsess on it.

I’ve been sick for about 2 weeks and continued to work long hours. I’m still eating much lighter, more normal portion sizes, the combination of exhaustion and illness led me to convenience foods rather than healthy eating. Dinner would be a handful of crackers rather than a chicken breast and a salad; breakfast was a bowl of cereal rather than an egg or some oatmeal. Oddly, I did fine with lunches. Packed mine nearly every day, just a sandwich and a piece of fruit. Snacking was limited to the one day we celebrated at work, when everyone brought in Christmas goodies.

My doctor also said I may have put on some muscle weight with the exercise I’ve done. If so, I’m good with that.

So, I’ll stick with the plan: cut portion sizes, continue to increase the frequency of exercise, and stay away from crap food. Down 22 pounds in 3 months. I can do better.

    your doctor is right :-)

    Sounds like you're doing fine. I wouldn't worry about not losing so much, like you say it's nothing to stress over. Stick to it and in a bit more time you'll see some results. :)

    the process of losing weight should always also include gaining muscle! as muscle looks differenly than fat it can be a great addition to your body.

    We live in a world that prefers appearances over reality, a world where people like to show that they have more than what they can afford and this is one of the reasons why replica luxury watches are bestsellers in every part of the world.
    Most of the luxury brand of watches like Rolex, Omega, Cartier and Breitling are available as replica watches. They are similar to original masterpieces in design and functionality. In fact a properly replicated watch delivers performance at par with the original machine. The only difference between is of the material used in the replicated watches. Replica watches don’t use diamonds and silver . You can buy Swiss Rolex Replicas. at any store but we would recommend you to buy it from a legitimate seller. A legitimate seller would never sell you fake luxury watch. In addition to this you a legitimate seller would provide you with complete warranty cover for your watch.
    With these replica watches luxury style and attitude are no longer the property of the rich. You can also enjoy a celebrity feel without paying tons of money for it.

    Something Is Wrong with my Watch

    My brother was nice enough this past year to buy me a birthday present

    and actually give it to me. You see, he is really not that reliable

    and has been know to say he bought a present for you, when he really

    didn’t.

    This year was a little different too in the fact that my brother won a

    bit of money in the lottery – so he was buying everyone nice presents.

    He was nice enough to get me one of those Swiss Rolex

    Replicas. that you see on television. Not only was it one of the

    nicest watches, but one of the most expensive ones you can get, right?

    Well… I thought he bought me a good present until a few months later.

    You see, the battery died in the watch so I went to the jeweler to get

    it changed. During my talk with the jeweler, he commented that I had

    one of the better quality replica

    rolex. that he had seen. A replica?

    Turns out that he bought me one of the common Rolex

    Replicas. that are on the market… So much for him being any more

    generous than he normally is. Now, I am just mad.
