Well…here goes nothing!

• Weekly Weigh-In #22: 208.7 lbs.
• Last week’s Weigh-In: 209.8 lbs.
• Gain/loss of: -1.1 lbs.
• Weekly average lost: 2.0 lbs.
• Weight loss for August: 4.2 lbs.
• Weight loss to date: 88.3 lbs.

As usual, a loss beats a gain any day although I admit being at 207.5 lbs. earlier in the week. The lack of exercise definitely played a role in that but it’s back to the grind tonight.

Okay, so let’s see. I’m hoping to lose the remaining 8.7 lbs. before my vacation starts in 8 weeks. That’s just a little over 1 lb. per week. Easy, man, too easy. But I won’t get too confident about it just yet. A lot can happen between now and then so while it’s simple to sit here and say it will be simple, who knows what the next two months will bring.

In a bit of somber news, I hurts me to report that my doctor is recovering from surgery for the removal of a brain tumor. I found this out when I called to schedule a routine physical today, and I’m saddened by the news. He was the one that motivated me to start taking control of my weight after he uttered those words that rang in my ears. If not for his input and those words of motivation, I would be nowhere near where I am today on the scale.

Dr. Sonne, I pray for your speedy recovery and hereby dedicate my remaining weight loss, subsequent body conditioning, and a lifetime of eating right and exercising to your honor. It’s the least I can do for the man that dedicated his life to the welfare of others.

Thank you for kicking me into place, and here’s hoping I see you back in the office real soon. You’re awesome.
