2/3rds of the year bye bye

End of August

222.2

i'm too sexy for my fat jeans

I gotta say tho, i think maintanence mode is a pitfall. As ive watched poor Bryces' weight ping pong from 162 to 168 and back to 162 in 3 weeks, i went from 222 to 226.4 and back to 222 in 5 days. Yes thats right, 5 days. Now B-kid says its because i was dehydrated over the weekend and my body was holding on to water weight. but I think it may be something a bit more sinister. My body knows i took a breath and said "whew" i made my goal of 225. it plants that seed of complacency that is the root of what caused us all to gain weight over the last few years and get to the point where we needed the fat challenge. "I dont need to do that little bit of exercise tonight since i'm already at my target weight" I know that challenge is right there for me to try and keep my honest, cause since i hit 225, i went on a cruise and ate like i was from Central Africa and had never seen a full plate of food before. now had i gone on the cruise at 5 pounds over my target, i'm sure i would have eaten a LOT less and prolly got the same amount of exercise which would have led to weight loss. So the fat challenge was great, losing weight is awesome, but as we are all finding out, keeping it off is the true Challenge.

Hang in there my brothers and sisters. Thin = Win
