8/23 - low calorie day to prep for my trip and also my weekend trip to see friends.



8/24 - had to leave early in the morning to travel for work, snagged Whataburger breakfast. Took it easy at the provided lunch, skipping dessert and potatoes. Friends of mine who work for a vendor took us to dinner, had 12 oz prime rib, got brussel sprouts for my side and spinach and kale salad. Did have 3 beers and a vodka red bull.



8/25 - very long day. Class started at 8, grabbed oatmeal and bacon before. Then drove home, unpacked and repacked, then had a 7 hour road trip. Got PDQ on the way, got chicken tenders instead of fries with my grilled Hawaiian chicken sandwich. Then group of buds had our pre-fantasy draft meetup, and had a grilled chicken sandwich with bacon, swiss and BBQ aioli. Did have fries also. Couple vodka redbulls.



8/26 - fantasy draft, poker, and Mayweather-McGregor. Skipped breakfast, we had BBQ catered in. I skipped all the sides also. Host's wife had sprinkled candy all over the draft tables, and I partook, along with a goodly amount of vodka, and another guy's wife made these awesome peanut butter and jelly bars, and I had 3 like a fatty.

Poker was a silly joke, as per my usual cash game run, had 3 pots allin, one with overpair vs flush draw (lost), one with 1st and 3rd pair and nut flush draw against two guys with top 2 pair in PLO (lost), one with A8 vs K8 allin on 853 flop (lost).

Did make $100 profit on the fight, so that was good.



8/27 - hotel breakfast, skipped biscuits and gravy and waffles, and just had two sausage patties and two fried eggs. Then played golf, had 4 Bud Light Limes and a bratwurst at the course. Then dinner with a political buddy and had an awesome Hawaiian burger with pineapple salsa, bacon aioli and cheese. Got no sides though!



8/28 - golf again, just 2 peanut butter cracker packages at the course, then Arby's on the 6 hour drive back home.



I will be under target today also, which will have me averaging under 2150 for the last 7 days, not bad considering!

NO working out though. . My plan Thursday got thwarted because I didn't know my vendor buddies were in town, so I went with them.

What is your current target calories?

2050/day, though I am more concerned with weekly goals, so a 1700 day followed by a 2300 day is just fine to me.

8/29 - brought my rolling 7 day average down to 2070, which includes 5 days on the road.

8/30 - trying to stockpile some good days. Going to be at the casino Sunday-Tuesday for Winstar Main Event, then Columbus, OH for Oklahoma-Ohio State game 9/7-10,
then fly from Columbus to Charleston, SC til the 13th for work.

8/31



174.8 lbs this morning, -3.2 lb for August.

Nice last few days! Good job losing lbs in August!

Thanks, MLY!

Killing it!

Thanks! Can't say "killing it" until working out becomes habit and my mental health improves, but I appreciate the support!

174.6 yesterday. -0.2 for Sept

That's a win, considering how bad you have been feeling

Thanks Rexx!

172.0 this morning, -2.2 for October. Not bad considering I had a 5800 calorie day on Oct 14 followed immediately by a 3 day trip to South Padre Island for work!

Awesome -- killing it as usual!

Still loosing....good job!

Thanks y'all! In addition to bettering my appearance, obvious health benefits as well. My blood pressure has dropped in a year from 122/80 to 116/71, which is especially important due to my kidney disorder, high blood pressure is bad on kidneys. Also, I got some bloodwork results back yesterday, results compared to last tests in 2014.

Cholesterol (goal 200): Was 175, now is 171
HDL/good cholesterol (goal >40): Was 29, now is 43
Ratio of good to bad chol (goal <4.44): Was 6.03, now 3.98

So my overall cholesterol has dropped despite a significant uptick in good cholesterol.

Triglycerides (goal 35-150): Was 271, now 127. This is a major heart attack indicator when above the recommended levels.

Blood glucose (goal 70-100): Was 107, now 79.

170.2 this morning. Spent about a week and a half in the 160s this month but Turkey Day was Turkey Week.

bump

Was 170.8 on Jan 1. First month gaining weight in eleven months. Still not working out like I should be. Still logging every day.

0.6lbs does not count as gaining weight

Losing weight/maintenance for 11months is a huge accomplishment! Good work.

Good Luck in the WSOP!!!!

Thanks M!

171.2 on March 1.
