4-1/2 months of calorie counting. Let's look at the numbers

 

 

Welcome back all you fat ass fanatics!

 

 

The blog is picking up a little steam. We have over 7,000 visitors from points across the globe. Invite your family and friends to join in this fat ass fun fair! We have room for all. Also, if you know of anybody currently struggling with fat-ass-i-tit-is or considering weight loss surgery, have them stop by as well. I'm proud to say that my story so far, wacky as it may be, has actually motivated others to start their own flab fight. Hey, if I can help one person lose one pound, that will be far more than I ever expected to do with a corny weight loss blog. So "CHEERS" to all you new wobbly warriors!

 

 

On to this weeks observations. Let's start with wight loss vs. waist size. I have noticed that these two do not appear at the same time. During any given week, I may struggle to show a weight loss on the scale. This PO's me something fierce. Then I put on a pair of new pants and they are too big. I'm perplexed. I didn't lose any poundage yet my pants are looser. Hmmm. And the vice-versa is also true. I can't fit into a new pair of shorts I bought, but I'm losing weight this week. It just never happens on the same day. But I ain't bitchin! It will all work out in the end. The rear end.

I've also been playing with numbers in my head. I wanted to share a few with you.

 

 

0- The number / amount of any of my everyday Level 1 wardrobe that fits. I can only wear my old ties.

 

 

1- The number that will be in front of my weight in a couple of weeks for the first time since the 80's.

 

 

3- The number of new pants I have that kind of fit.

 

 

5- The number of days I have had vodka since April 9. Personal record.

 

 

6- The number of inches I have removed from my waistline. Note: I didn't even know I had a waist. Or a neck for that matter.

40.63 - The number of miles I walked last week. A few rounds of golf and a couple airports trips really adds up.

 

 

50- The number of pounds lost I will be at in a matter of days.

 

 

97,011 - The number of my steps in 40.63 miles.

 

 

20,159 - The number of calories I burned last week

 

 

(7,173) - The differential of calories in vs, calories out. According to my friend Dr. S, this should have resulted in about 2-1/2 lb weight loss. Guess what? It did.

 

 

That's just a quick look at the friendly numbers of my journey so far. I think it's pretty good for only 4-1/2 months of calorie counting. I'm pleased. I know I can't get overconfident. I've already noticed every pound comes off slower than before. I guess my body is adjusting to the new lower fuel intake. That probably means I have to ramp up the calorie burning process. And I hate the "W" word. W as is workout. I know it's part of the process and I'm determined to accelerate my activity level and defeat my inner lazybug. Maybe I'll start tomorrow. Or maybe not.

 

 

Weigh-in day next Monday and a fill from Dr. X! I will certainly be irritated if I don't hit the 50 level by then. You'll have to come back and see.

 

 

Bye now!

Johnny-you're great! You make me laugh all the time. Do you do stand-up? You and Lisa Lampanelli would be great together talking about your WLS. She had the sleeve and you the band.

Have a great day. I hope you make it to 50!!
