July 11th, 2008 — about, motivation, weigh in
This being the first weigh-in in two weeks I was a little nervous... Especially since we had spent the 4th on a mini vacation Sonoma and I consumed just a little too much wine. In addition there was a celebratory birthday dinner for a family member thrown in after Sonoma. I have continued my regular exercise including the 100 pushup challenge, swimming, an abdominal workout, and lifting weights.
It appears that I have avoided surgery on my ankle which I am very grateful for. I am have been moved from the walking boot 100% of the time into increasing use of the ankle brace recommended by my doctor (click the image to view the product page at amazon).
Here is a graph of my weight loss (if you are reading this in the future this graph will have updated for future weigh ins as well)... Clicking the image will open to a larger image.
I have no known issues planned for the week so I am hoping I will be able to commit to my diet and exercise program without interruption... (I may have a glass of wine or two that I brought back from Sonoma, but other than that...)
Until next week... Enjoy the articles and keep the comments coming...

July 5th, 2008 — about, weigh in
This week my normal weigh in day falls on July 4th. The doctor's office is closed and therefore I will be going 2 weeks without a weigh in...
For most of the week I was very good...
Thursday we went to Sonoma for the 4th weekend... Even in Sonoma I have been very good on the food front (with one exception), but the excellent wine has been a temptation I have been unable to resist... Also at last night's dinner, my child ordered a smore for desert (this was a 4 star restaurant)... She didn't like it, but I couldn't believe that it wasn't delicious... I had 2 small bites of the chocolate, caramel, marshmallow, gram cracker combination... Heavenly! So with my cheating out of the way...
I have gone swimming and to the gym while here, but as of this writing I haven't finished week 3 day 3 of the hundred push up challenge yet. I will be doing that (one day late) right after I finish blogging and having an egg white omelet with fresh vegetables...
I am not punishing myself for cheating, but acknolwedging that I did cheat will help me to avoid cheating today and for the rest of the week...
I hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July...
