I haven't been able to find the expendable income to pick up ME2 ... YET. But I will, soon. Right now I'm playing through Fable 2 for the first time and am on my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th playthroughs of Dragon Age: Origins. Oh yeah. :)

Are you playing ME2 on PC or console?

I tried. Really TRIED to get into fable 2. I got halfway in and just couldn't get THAT in it. I've been looking for a game now I can get sucked into, but nothing has seemed to keep my attention lately. :(


Sry to derail Jericho :p

you are talking gaming..sure isn't derailing to me :p

I think you would get into Mass Effect 1 and 2. Two is a really good game, one of the best I've played in a long time. I was the same about Fable 2 by not getting into it.
 
So ... is it time to exchange gamertags yet? Mine's pretty easy: it's Addiecakes. And my steam ID is Addiecakes too I think ...
 
WEEK 6
Start: 378.2
End: 383
WEEK GOAL: 380


Well *@)$.


Ok. Each week is new so let's get back to 380 at least. I could make excuses but I'm not going to. I am going to fix what has been wrong and get it done. Last week is over.

Well, here is to a better week.
And I guess you must have put that weight on when you could not spend all your energy stalking a certain user anymore ;)!! I had the best time reading her most awesommly insane replies to anything. Such a douchebag, honestly!

You (with your letter post a couple of pages back) inspired me to write down some of my feelings in my own diary and it really helped me to have it all out in the open, to have said it out loud, to be honest with myself, I wanted to thank you for that! Have a good... hell no, a GREAT week, Camy

Ah sorry to hear that. We all have our setbacks so obviously don't worry about it.

Good luck for the next result :)
 
Keep going, dude! I messed up last week but just put it behind you and move on. Hope this week is better for you

thanks! I did read yours and I discovered that it took a weight off my chest (so to speak). You can't move forward on this till you expose the light to the past. I am really glad it has helped you.


Now, onto my week info, My number is up and I don't know how much of that is my scale. It had been giving me odd readings so I got this new scale. It was suppose to be good and handle up to 400 pounds.

It said I was 356.

Next day I was 326.

I love magic scales but there is no way I am 356, much less 326. So on Saturday I used a GNC scale in the mall that said 392 (I did just eat lunch with Amy and was dressed, so it wasn't my normal weighing conditions). That made a little more sense so I'm returning that scale and getting another one. This one is up to 440 just because I think it will be more sturdy to hold my size.

My mental state? A bit disappointed but I'm ok. I've analyzed my last week and I see some of the problems. I'm still stopping sometimes on the way home..I have a solution for that. Part of the reason I think is it is a long drive and a slight bit of boredom slips in. So when I am nearing the Wendy's that I stop at (it's really the only one on the way. I'm safe the rest of the drive), I am putting on some loud rocking music to sing to as I approch and pass. The other thing is instead of getting Salad for lunch, I've been making worse choices. I got that one covered too.

I think by the end of the week, I will be right back on track. Positive mind!

I know the feeling. Way too much. Its funny how much food and water will jack our weight up though. An example is I weighed in at home, then ate some food and drank a lot of water before heading to the gym. The worker there took my monthly weigh in, and it was a full 8 pounds higher than an hour ago. Even though I logically knew where it was, it was still irritating to see that on the scale. Anyways, we all falter every now and then, but the only way to fail is to actually quit. So keep up the good work!


PS. I got ME2, and it cost me my whole weekend on the couch. Well worth it though.
 
Hey Jericho!

I read your recent posts about weighing yourself at the mall, and at home.

When I started this weight-loss journey, I set out to prepare myself as best as I could. i bought a new iPod nano, which has the step counter; I read up as much as I could on eating healthy; and I got a new scale from amazon. Its a WeightWatchers model, which weighs up to 400 lbs. We used to have a scale that went up to 350, and as you know that is not for us. The scale cost me something like $50.

But the 400 max weighing scale seems to be pretty good and accurate. I keep it away from the bathroom so that people don't kick it around and jump on it -- and so it stays in good condition, so to speak. I've only had one problem, and this is persistent. Every time I weigh myself, I get a good solid reading. But in the same moment, if I weigh myself again, I get a higher weight by 1 or 2 lbs. And if I weigh myself again, the same thing, the measurement goes up by another 1 to 2 lbs. So i've stuck to a system that I just get on the scale and weight myself once a week.

That being said. I did weigh myself this past saturday, and I did weigh in a whole lot more than expected. I still have the will to lose weight, but it just seems like i've lost a lot of the energy. It's kind of like "I'm really determined to drive cross country, but I ran out of gas".. not sure if that analogy made any sense, but i was just trying to say that maybe there is a gas-station right around the next hill bend??? hehe, i don't know. Just trying to say 'Don't give up!' =D
 
Azdren, I promise you this. You give up and I will hunt you down and give you a swift punt in the rear. Every single day is a new start. so you start off higher than you planned, it doesn't change the work you HAVE done and will do. Come on man, don't make me get out the 2x4 of doom on you.


As for me, looks like the spike has passed as the scale said 375 this morning. It's not the official weight so I'm not celebrating just yet but it will be so great if I can shave another pound of that off by sunday. I bet it will. That also mean that my goal of under 370 by my birthday is 'possible'..but I'm happy with what I have as is.


Oh, just beat ME2 yesterday..OMG what a great game! I am so replaying it :)

And I should be getting a Wii with EA Active on my birthday..yeah..I'm a kid again.
 
Jericho,

Congrats on your success so far...keep up the good work! We must make short term sacrifices for long term gain!

Hey buddy,

Nah, i am not giving up! i realized today looking back that I am way healthier now than I was when I started. And I like that a lot! So, you don't have to go buy any 2X4's :p

Other than that, I'm sure you can attain your goal by your bday! Good luck, and keep in touch!
 
WEEK 7
Start: 383
End: 377
WEEK GOAL: 375

Err..not exactly. That is the weight on my old scale. I got this new scale during the week that seems very accurate. I got on it 3 times and everyone was the same. That was a roughly 1-2 pound difference so these are the numbers I am going with..

WEEK 7
Start: 384
End: 378
WEEK GOAL: 375

Yeah! Back on track after some bumps in the road last week. This week, I'm all aiming for the 375 by Friday! Why the shortened week? Cause on Friday, Amy and I are driving down to Orlando to do Disney World for my Birthday on Saturday. I'm pretty excited, but I am going to have to try and hold myself in check at the places we will be eating. I LOVE the food there. While there will be alot of walking, I still have to keep my head a little so I don't cause much of a disruption.

Anyways, Feeling good and I wish everyone a happy Valentines' day
 
Midweek and things are looking good at work. I've had some stress, mainly from a job review where they said I was working too fast and they didn't trust my work (even though I didn't have any errors they could point to). It was a matter of trust. I'm the new guy who has about 5 years more experience in the field than any of them. I have worked for another company for 10 years so they think I keep doing things my way instead of their way. I was scared for my job. I came up with a 'sniper' mentality..no not shooting people..but the aspects of a military sniper. Stay quiet, follow orders directly, and more importantly, take the time cause you have one shot at the target. It seems to be helping. It also pissed me off and I have stopped holding some things back when it comes to my leadership. It 'seems' to be working. There is a large team meeting later so we will see.

Anyways, on the home front, 2 days till we are on our way to Disney World! Yeah! I'll take pictures to share. It is going to be fun. It always is. Weight wise, seem I'm about 1 pound lighter but it's ok. I have started to force myself not to look at the scale as often.
 
Those performance reviews can be brutal. What I hate is when they blind-side you with something. You go all year thinking you doing a certain thing right...then boom-goes-the-dynamite! You hear you've been lacking in their eyes...and you wait until NOW to tell me this????

Anyways...never been to Disney, but sounds like fun. You guys have a good time!
