Kreskin, I’m Not

I predicted, yesterday, that I would have a weight loss to report.  Alas, I am no prophet.  My weight actually went UP a few pounds, so I have made a difficult decision.  I am going to purchase a new, nicer scale.  Why?  My scale gives a different reading every time I step on it.  So, my weight is either 231, 232, 235, or 230.  Take your pick.  I’m off to purchase a new scale!

The Scale Could Move… Tomorrow

I know that this will sound weird, but I’m (pretty) sure that I will be down a pound or so tomorrow morning.  My weight has been holding steady for the past few weeks, but this morning I was back down to 230, and I feel like I’m losing.  I have redoubled my efforts to eat at home, drink plenty of water, and get plenty of rest.  I will weigh in TUESDAY morning, and let you know.  By the way, the latest episode of my podcast is ready.  Check out the No Credit Needed Podcast.

Mentally Focused And Prepared To Move Forward

After a month of “drifting along”, I am now mentally focused and prepared to move forward.  I was sick for the better part of three weeks and was unable to get much (if any) real exercise.  Now, I’m back, baby!  I started my day with plenty of water, some hardy oatmeal, and a nice turkey sandwich.  I’ll be going to the gym around 3PM and I am (get ready…) excited!  My weight sits at 230, right where I left it three weeks ago.  Hopefully, the “shock” of exercise will cause my body to “release” a few extra pounds.  Clearly, January was a great month.  I hope to “recapture” the magic and start to lose weight again.

Today’s Pitiful Diet…

Here’s what I’ve eaten today… cough drop, cracker, cough drop, cracker, cough drop, cracker… you get the picture.  I am sick.  I have a TERRIBLE head cold, worse than I originally thought.  I’ve FINALLY decided to go to the doctor Wednesday.  I realize that this may be the most boring blog post you will ever read, but my brain is functioning at about 5%.
