Week 328 Update

I have made another update on my dental story in the Sixth Installment of The Tooth Fairy's Evil Twin. I hope this will become a non-issue soon, and further mention of it will be unnecessary. But that is not the case yet.

It was 04:30 when I stepped up on Mr. Scale and he said, “200.0 pounds!”

I just barely squeaked in under the wire this week. But, I was not pulling back on Friday to try and get my weight down for my weigh-in. On the contrary, this is my highest weight for over 2 weeks. Being only human, I did over extend myself a bit because of my birthday. Now, I get to see if I can pull things back down into the middle of my target range or not.

I had 4 days this week where I weighed my target weight of 197.5 exactly. I had 2 more days where I weighed less than that, and 2 days where I weighed more. Of course the two highest days were the ones right after my birthday. ☺

For points this week, I felt like I was eating a lot more, but I averaged 44.64 points-per-day, and last week it was 45.00 points-per-day. I did eat some junk this week, with ice cream and cake highlighting the show. Fortunately, the angel food cake was fairly low in points, as far as cakes generally go, and Dotti brought home some nice low point ice cream. But I still put away 13 points of cake and ice cream over two days. (If I had of been eating the high point stuff, it would have blown right off program.)

We got in a couple of walks this week. Dotti and I walked to dinner on Sunday and on Tuesday, giving us over 6 miles (nearly 10K) of walking for the week.

Sunday we walked to Taco Bell and Subway. I am not up to chewing a subway sandwich, and so Dotti got me some pintos and cheese, and a burrito at Taco Bell, and then we walked over next door to Subway, and she ordered her sandwich. We then sat at Subway and ate our respective meals. It was nearly 1.5 miles to Taco Bell from home. We then walked on to Borders Books before heading back home. The entire walk added up to 2.91 miles.

On Tuesday we walked again, with a slightly different route, but we ate at the same places again. By the time we reached home, we had walked 3.1 miles. Walking with Dotti is a lot of fun, and it is a great opportunity to discuss things with no interruptions.

I celebrated my 56th birthday on Thursday, and

LeRoy came down to make the day complete! Dotti had purchased my birthday gift at the Clark County Fair. (It was a spotting scope and an adapter for my Canon camera. It will allow me to take very close up pictures for a long ways off. It should be great for wildlife photography.)

Dotti visited the hair dresser and came home with a happy-birthday new hairdo.

All in all, I could have done better, but all of my daily weigh-ins were in my target range, and that is pretty good. ☺



And in case you haven't guessed, the mystery lady from last week's journal was our own Carole (Burtrude) from the message board.



6 years, 106 days on my journey; a lifetime to follow.
