Thursday Weigh-In

Thursday seems to be the hardest word.

Weight:   297.6 lbs
Body Fat: 41.2%
Water:    45%

 Jesus Christ, when did I start not minding yogurt?  So I've got a spare minute this morning, so I thought I'd actually say what the hell I've been eating this week.

Enjoy this picture of a mountain.

Breakfasts have been a bit of a rush, with me trying to get a lunch together while eating.  I've been having 2 pieces of raisin toast, and usually a banana or another piece of fruit, before leaving for work.

In my lunches, I've been packing a mess of romaine lettuce and light bleu cheese dressing for lunch, along with 2 oranges, a miscellaneous piece of fruit, 2 yogurts, the occasional granola bar, and some cashews.  This has pretty well stretched across the course of my days, which have lasted up to 9pm some nights (to be fair, I'm transitioning to a swing shift of 12-8:30).

Dinners have been a bit more of a hodgepodge affair.  I've grabbed dinner with co-workers a few nights, but I've been trying to keep with a rule of minimizing carbohydrates and focusing on protein (grilled/steamed vegetables instead of fries, no fried entrees, etc.).

Wednesday Weigh-In

Didn't have time to post this this morning, but whatever.

Weight:   299.6 lbs
Body Fat: 42.1%
Water:    44.3%

You get it, now watch this.



Now I sleep.

Bird Is The Word

First let me say that I definitely didn't properly hydrate yesterday.


Weight:   299.4 lbs
Body Fat: 41.2%
Water:    45%

 One of the reasons I know I'm dehydrated can be seen below.

As a bit of a pep rally/employee involvement type thing, the Company flew this plane down to the site yesterday, and allowed the use of personal cameras for the event.  Camera use was not permitted inside the buildings, but was permitted for the landing and taxi of the bird.  As a result, I was outside in the lovely weather for around an hour, on the reflective white surface of tarmac.



They felt the need to play this song, and others, during the taxi.  Lunch packed, raring to go for the day.  Have an exciting day, Fatheads!

Still Alive

G'day Fatheads.

I know it's been quite awhile, but I have valid excuses!  I've been on travel assignment for the Company for the last 75 or so days, basically.  I was gone for 29 days, then I was on the road for vacation for about 5 days, and then I was gone 2 days later for another 29 days on the road for the Company.  Plus side: I've got top-tier status on most of my travel accounts.  Minus side: I had the company feed me whatever my fat little heart desired.

I was up in the Seattle area for the travel, and I tried to get out for day hikes (that is Mt. Pilchuck), but I was mostly working 7 days a week, with many of those days being 12 hours long.  I mostly ate as I ought, but I certainly had some misbehavior happening, especially for the last week and a half of this past trip.

Weight:   300.4 lbs
Body Fat: 41.5%
Water:    44.8%

So I'm up many pounds from my last weigh-in.  Around 18-20 lbs, and I am very disappointed in myself.  I really considered putting this off for a day or two, but I've never found there's any point in delaying pain.

I really need to develop a schedule that works for me and a healthy diet.  I'm switching to a (nominal) 8-hour split shift (between 1st and 2nd) in the near future (scheduled either 10am or 12pm to 6:30pm or 8:30pm), but that will actually be probable minimum 10-hour days at 6 per week, eventually getting closer to 12/7s, as our workload ramps up.

I'm going on vacation again in another week, but I'm going to try and drop some weight before I do.  While I'm on vacation, I'm probably going to destroy whatever progress I make in the next week, but at least this will put a dent in whatever gain I might make.

Cogito Ergo Doleo, Fatheads, and thanks for the continued support.
