My goal is not to lose 156 pounds in a year. It's to lose 3 pounds this week.

No weight loss, but again--a very long and junk-food-filled weekend.
It probably would've been worse, but I worked out TWICE since then. Yep, that's right--two times. Sunday morning after whooping it up with my baby brother and sis, and again last night, when I joined the local gym. There's a Snap Fitness in town, plus one right across from where I work. It's a month-to-month contract, and with health insurance kicking in, it will only cost us about $14 a month. I have no reason not to give it a shot.
Counting this week's workouts, that's a whole two for the month of October so far. Hey, it's a start. :)

I went down to Balaton this weekend, see my folks and sisters. I had a lot of fun, but I also did a lot more snacking than I have in a while. Consequently, I'm holding steady at 221 this week. No loss, but at least no gain either.
I figured this would happen eventually, but it's still a wee bit disappointing. Oh well, the important thing is, I got back onto my diet first thing Monday morning.
And no, Mom, I don't blame you for it. Nobody forced me to eat the brownie (or the cookies, or the muffin). I chose to.
And my picture looks really goofy this week, for some reason.

Yeah, yeah. I forgot to weigh in. My brother the expert's going to be spending the weekend with me, so maybe his discipline and healthy habits will inspire me--or otherwise he'll just be kicking my butt all weekend.

Melissa asked last week what I'm going to do once I reach my goal weight. I'm really not sure. As I approach 200lbs, my trainer has said he's going to switch the workouts to focus more on muscle building than weight loss, and he's already starting to do that a little. I also remember talking with someone, way back in February, who said I should find an activity to keep me, well, active once I hit my goal. I'm open to suggestions, people.

Can't say that I'm all that surprised--I had a busy social weekend, lots of bad food and alcohol. At least I didn't gain any weight. I'll try harder for next week.

I'm beginning to see these pictures, and I guess myself, differently. Instead of looking at the picture and seeing a thinner Ryan, I'm starting to see just a thin Ryan. I'm not sure when I made that transition, but I like it.

Is there a bloating allowance on this blog?
Cripes, I was more active this week than usual--went walking around St. John's (carrying a 23-lb child part of the way), spent 20 minutes crawling around playground tunnels at McDonald's trying to find my 23-lb child, and went for a walk/jog (I really did jog!) to the park while pushing two kids in a stroller. And all to no avail.
Grrr...to use the words of Lilliana, "I'm fwustrated."
