Back home from the conference. 282 this morning which is as expected as I wasn't getting workouts in and was drinking a lot (and had one really nice meal). Still not too bad as that is more or less just treading water than an actual gain. The model has me at 280.1, so I have a little catching up to do, but I think I can do it. March is a long month and I think I can get to 272 by the end and break the 100 pound barrier in the process. A few days back on the program should jump start things nicely.
Still really busy as I now have a bunch of stuff to catch up with. Will post my March 1 picture some time today.

281 on Monday morning, and that's a good start.
One of my friends at the conference whom I hadn't seen since last March mentioned that he wondered where the rest of me went. He asked me what the secret was and when I said "diet and exercise," he commented that it wasn't much of a secret.
Still trying to get settled in. Amazing what just a few days out of town can do to disrupt your life.

282 this morning. 
OW, OW, OW! Personal trainer hit me with a new workout yesterday that absolutely destroyed me. Six months of that and I'd either be dead or a male model. Holy crap, everything hurts...
More personal training at 3pm today, but I'm not sure what I'm going to be able to do. Anything involving squats or the legs in general is out.

What kind of stuff is the trainer doing with you? I have to be honest... I wish I had the physical ability (right now) and the means to be doing a daily workout with a pro. I have NO idea what to do right now other than what I had done in the past... and my size limits me from doing most of those things right now.

I'm tapping my pretty toes on 193 too...Hopefully we'll both just flush to 189 and 279 respectively!

The workout in question:

Did it again today. What an ass kicker this workout is. My hamstrings feel like Hendrix just played a guitar solo with them.
Tomorrow is an off day from training, but I haven't a clue whether I'll have anything left in me to do anything for a workout. I won't have time on Friday for certain.

283 this morning. Me and the scale are going to have to have a little talk. 
Also, for some odd reason I thought I was actually sore yesterday. How silly of me. TODAY I am sore. Sore in ways I have not been in a long time. Sitting down is a challenge.
I'm probably going to do a little light basketball today, simply because I can't live without it at this point. Also there is no sitting down in basketball.
I may go on a lean meats/vegetables/low sugar diet for the next few weeks if the scale keeps acting up. My model might help me here. Fact is eating burgers and ribs regularly and expecting to lose a ton of weight forever might not be realistic. We'll see. The upside has been not having to worry about cravings, since as long as I wait for my next meal, I can eat whatever I crave. The downside is I may need more nutrients for my 2200 calories than I'm currently getting.
No time to panic just yet, but that's never really stopped me before...

It's amazing how quickly calm rationale goes out the window when we get emotionally committed to some idea, isn't it? I can do everything right, feel great about it, step on the scale, then think I'm completely off-track and doomed to fail. Easy, Don. Step back from the edge...
Keep it going. I like the dietary shift idea... I think it confuses the arch nemesis of weight loss, the body's desire to remain fat.

This is like the third time today I've seen a chillax.
I usually don't have these problems, but it's quite possible I haven't been quite this sore in the last eight months.
My smart phone is up and running. No more pictures in my bathroom mirror. Probably still take them in the bathroom as it seems to have the best lighting in my apartment. I'm going to use 'beauty' mode for the pics. Hopefully the mode works really well.
