5/31 Update
Long time not update.....was busy doing some cheating! Some Free Day!!!!
So during this Memorial Day Holiday I went for a Double Free Day, because I deserved it!
I gained 10 pounds. Wow, no worries I enjoyed myself and time to get down to business.
5/30 morning weight - 241.6
5/30 before bed weight - 241.2 pounds
5/31 morning weight - 238.8 pounds
I am 10 pounds away from my goal weight. I don't expect to get it all done in one week, but I ma going to set that goal for 6/18 tobe at 228 on the button or lower.
My "hacks" last week I did find to be successful so I will continue those.
I really crushed in Free Days. Saturday I gained 4 pounds and then on Sunday I gained 6 pounds. I dont' really remember the last time I drank that much beer, or ate that much fried food.
I am back at it and happy to be! COLD SHOWER HERE I COME!

5/28 update
Wow I was sleepy last night and forgot to post.....so I better catch up now. To those that view this....Thanks! I use this blog to check on what I was doing in previous weeks or months. Easier for me to reference my weight from a week ago, because I can do it from my IPAD right before I sleep (weigh in) and right after I wake up and weigh in.
In any case......If did come down to 231.7 pounds this morning! HA HA only .1 pounds since yesterday, but I did stick with my all my new "hacks"
*I did 30 minutes on the elliptical
*I did 25 reps on bosu ball of myocratic crunches
*I did 15 cat vomit @ 12 seconds
And I even did 3 cold showers yesterday!
My goal weight is still 228 pounds..i am so close I can feel it.
I forgot how good the working out felt. My energy has been great, now I am getting another spike from working out...AWESOME!!! Just like my old strength and conditioning coach used to say......"IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!"

Cold Shower here I come!!!

On another note...I can safely claim that everything in my closet I can now wear. i just put on some shorts I haven't worn in like 5 years and even when they did fit.....I think I only wore them about a month. Those Oregon shorts are like brand new!!!!

5/14 am update
This mornings weigh in was 235.4 pounds! I always consider 1 pound a victory. So last week I lost .4 pounds.......and I will take it. Due to travel things were out of whack.
-PAGG was all over the place, once twice...who knows
-I ate too many almonds...and I never eat them anymore
-I drank about 6 drinks on Tuesday and probably 15 on Wednesday
-No ab routines
-2 and 3 cups of coffee per day
All in all.....I'll take it!
I love not seeing 340 on the scale.

5/11 am update
So I am on the road....with no scale! WTH!
Anyway for me it has been pretty easy to stay on the diet, so staying on it yesterday was pretty easy. I had some almonds going through the airport and had a protein bar to eat on the plane.
I probably had more steak that I should have last night, but lets see how that works out.

5/9 am update
This morning's weigh in was 237.8 pounds. This week's challenge is that I will be on the road starting Tuesday morning with a 6 am flight. I won't return until Thursday late evening.
So I will have to take some protein bars with me as snacks just in case. Almonds as well.
It is work meetings so I don't imagine dinner being a problem.....it's lunch that could be a problem. They usually have that ready for us....so it may minimize my choices.
I will scout out back-up alternatives when I get there Tuesday mid day
The Goal of this week is to get to 232.something.

UPDATED THE AFTER PIC
That last after pic was at 236.6 pounds.....I know this one is only 235.8, but I have noticed changes in my shape! Cool!
5/7 UPDATE-YES!
I finally cracked that 5 mark. Snuck in at 235.8 pounds. I hit my all time low...just barely. I woke up on last Sunday after a two day-cheat-day-alcohol-overload binge....and chopped that 8 pounds off.
It was a struggle this week and there were fluctuations and swings I don't normally see.
In any case....I CLAIM VICTORY THIS WEEK!
MY REWARD OF CHEAT DAY.....SORRY WE CALL IT "FREEDOM DAY"IS HERE!

This mornings weigh in was 237.0 on the button. Went up .4 yesterday. Not sure why.
Is it the protein bars? I had an extra helping of daphnes yesterday....wasn't real hungry but it tasted goos. Could have been the chorizo?
Anyway no big deal, one more day to sneak into the 235 mark.

5/4 AM update
This morning's weigh in was 237.6 pounds. I was hoping I was in the the 236 range today and only lost 1 pound. I say that because it seems to be off pace.
The other perspective could be that I am just in that area where it is going to be harder forme to lose weight. In any case, still have 3 shots to hit the 235 mark.
As I look back on yesterday.......that is first time I had 3 cups of coffee in one day since.....since. I don't even remember. I had the extra cup and didn't even realize it until right now.
I also will have another protein bar today to see if that is having an effect.

Man those things are good

5/3 Update
This morning's weigh in was 238.8 pounds. Good progress made yesterday looking for the same today. I am back doing my back/ab exercises.
*20 myocratic crunches on the bosa ball
*10 cat vomit, hold for 12 seconds
Over the years my back has gone out probably once ever 3 months like clockwork...and I literally feel like I am paralyzed.
So when I was off on my 2 day binge and have a bit of a drinkfest in Eugene, OR....I did not sleep in my own bed, I did not do my exercised, and I played golf.
When I got home on Saturday...I could feel a minor tweek. I always felt those as a warning, my back was telling me I am going out later today or the next day.
I doubled up the exercises on Saturday and Sunday, we are talking 3 minutes time each, and just like magic it is gone!
This for me is one of the great "side effects" of this diet!
I am feeling great and back on track.....and focused in on 235 by Saturday morning!

Tonights weigh in weight was 242 pounds, this morning it was 241.8 pounds. On the slow and steady route after the 2 day binge. I missed my back/ ab exercises on Thursday and Friday last week and also partook of plenty of alcohol.
I am curious to see how i rebound and to see if I can get to 234.

5/1 Update
Well it is Sunday evening and winding down. I went on a 2 day binge. It was planned....and that was on Friday & Saturday. I didn't go crazy and really only went a bit overboard on Saturday dinner.
I was happy to say that on Sunday morning the weight gain was only 7 pounds.
So back at it today.
This week I am mixing in some protein bars that were recommended by @carbslow
Besides that nothing new adding in, but I am going to try out some more recipes form the cookbook.
