I’m one week away from 2 years on Weight-Watchers and I’m enjoying the recent successes (yes, I do remember the back-sliding, but that’s all behind me now.. or not behind me… heehee). I had another loss this week. Though I made poor decisions on the weekend, I did make some good ones and the resulting gout attack slowed me down on Monday. I probably would not have had as big a loss if that had not changed plans.

I still worked out today, though I had to shorten the workout due to a shortened day with my wife’s dr appt. So I had to choose between cardio and weight-training and decided on the cardio as I need to lose the fat more than I needed to gain the muscle.

I’m afraid to say that next week will most likely show a gain unless I manage to eat pretty dang healthy while my wife and I spend 4 days up in the Northwest with one of her nieces. Gotta get me some REAL FRESH salmon. If I can have that for four days straight, I may be able to post a loss next week and get my 9th “5-pound star” at the meeting. The goal is in sight and I’m pushing harder to make it.

Current weight: 274.8 lb
Current loss/gain: -1.4 lb
Total loss/gain: -44.2 lb
Distance to 50: 5.8 lb
