172.5 this morning, which after a day at the parents is pretty good. They bought eclairs this week. Eclairs.
My goal for the week is to weigh no more than 171.5 by next Monday morning. Going to try and set these weekly goals.
Time to really kick into gear on the XMas shopping this week.

172.5 this morning.
There's a window of a few weeks in Arizona every year where it actually gets cold. Not "winter wonderland" type cold, but colder than anyone here is in the mood for. Temp when I woke up this morning was 37 (which I think is like 3 Celsius). Anyhow, while that doesn't sound especially cold to most people, it's generally the sort of thing people who move here are trying to avoid. The high is only supposed to get up to 54 today and tomorrow. Back to 70 for the weekend thankfully.
You don't tend to accumulate a lot of winter clothes down here; heavy coats, scarves, mittens are just not the sort of thing you ever really need to use almost the entire year except for trips elsewhere. So it's a little hard to adjust. Long sleeves, my hoodie and a not so heavy jacket seem to be enough to get my by. Keep my hands in my pockets for the most part.

170.5 this morning. *flexes muscles* 14.5% on the crazy BF% monitor.
Today is a "lenders inspection" at my complex. Apparently a representative of the bank that bankrolls the complex is going from unit to unit to make sure the place doesn't have any serious problems. Don't know when they're going to show. Thinking of playing some sort of practical joke. Maybe get the whole place condemned.
In any event, I'll get my "pull" workout in later. I don't have to be here when they come through, but I'd like to be and I can work until they come anyway.
And then shopping must get finished. Today or tomorrow or maybe Friday afternoon.

Just popped in to wish you a very happy Christmas and healthy and peaceful 2016. We are having a quiet one on our own. We have bought a set of carpet bowls lol so will be playing that all over the holidays.
I start aqua aerobics in the first week of January so I’m hoping that not only my joints improve but that I lose a stone (14lbs) by the end of Feb when we go on a short winter break to Devon.
I have done the big non-perishable Christmas shopping but still have to scrum down in the supermarket for the salads etc.

Thanks everybody!!!
171 this morning on Christmas Eve after a week where I likely wound up a late add to Santa's naughty list. Oh well. Most of the bad was not food related as my edible diet remains on point.
Just played a Christmas Eve morning basketball game and twisted my ankle. Not too bad, and not so bad that I couldn't finish. But undoubtedly I'll be hobbling around on Christmas like Tiny Tim. Should be good in three or four days. Ice has been applied.
Anyhow, Merry Christmas Eve to everyone here and everyone who has been here the past three years or so but has faded out. I doubt I make it this far without everybody, and so I'm grateful to all of you.
Merry Christmas.

Okay, all the holiday nonsense is over and it's time to get down to bizzle fo shizzle:
174.5 pounds and 31.4 on the natural waist.
Going to try and do a better job of tracking my weight and calories and dial in my TDEE.
I am too damned close to my goal to get stuck here forever. I am going to put 29 inch jeans on at some point this year.
Happy New Year to everyone! Let's give 2016 the ass kicking it deserves.
