Weekly Weigh-In, February 8, 2010

I weighed about 243 lb. My new diet will start on February 17 and I will take a break from it on/around Easter.

Weekly Weigh-in, February 1, 2010

I weighed about 241 on Monday. Lots of snacks and no particular diet and I am hovering around 245 on Wednesday. Had to loosen the belt a notch. I am still eating on an investment protection basis. I have a lot of marinades and sauces that take up a lot of shelf space. Been eating barbecue chicken, sugary marinades on pork chops, that sort of thing. I also made a big soup with lentils and barley and frozen stew meat. I was trying to get rid of the barley, the lentils, the stew, a soup bone and a large quantity of bacon fat. Good food, but very fattening.

I moved the scales and pointed them in every direction on my uneven floors and I seem to weigh 240 LB.

Weekly Weigh-in, January 18, 2010

I weigh about 241. Creeping back into the flubber zone. Still having a hard time getting an accurate reading on uneven floors.

Did some aerobic snow shoveling today. Hope to get back to some sort of routine following the much-discussed move.

As mentioned, I moved recently to a more economically friendly environment. Part of the package of the cost savings happens to be, uneven floors. Not a major hassle until one wants to weigh oneself. I get different readings depending on which direction the scales are placed. I then take four readings and factor the mean.

But it's not as easy as it sounds. A movement of a few inches in any direction, even when the scales are facing east (for example) can make the scales read a two pound difference. Until I effectively resolve the precision I will estimate my current weight to be 240 pounds.

I weighed about 240 on Monday. I have been eating a lo of rich holiday food but I have burned a lot of calories in the activities involved in changing addresses. When the holiday foods are all eaten, I will start a new diet. Stay tuned.

Weekly Weigh-in, December 28, 2009

I weighed 238 lb. this past Monday. I have been eating a lot of junk food and Christmas goodies and as of this writing I might weigh a little more than that.

Hope to get back into the routine real soon. The change of address is officially completed. I love Newmarket, New Hampshire. I filled out a change of address card at the Post Office this morning and a few hours later my mailman came by to say good-bye. The personnel at the Post Office have all been great. So have the town officials and the odd cacophany of humanity that is Newmarket.

Moving to Exeter might make dieting easier, however. Always looking on the bright side.
