Hopeful Loser

I’ve been too lazy to take a picture of myself so I searched through the pictures from my daughter’s birthday to see if I had been captured somewhere in the background. I was sure I hadn’t posed for any as I have mastered the art of dodging the lens.

Here’s me standing behind the kids, it was the best shot I could find. There wasn’t one where I was completely in frame. Not too bad, although that’s probably my best angle. I look much worse directly from the front or side.

That’s my favorite fat outfit, or more accurately, feel comfortable in my fat outfit.

I had to go to the doctor on Monday for a UTI that snuck upon me over the weekend. It turns out that I was also dehydrated and my doctor couldn’t figure out why. After I’m done with the antibiotics he’ll have me get some fasting blood work to see if anything’s wrong. The first thing that came to mind was that I had weighed in at 187 that morning, so now was that inaccurate because I was dehydrated? Damn. I’ll weigh in again on Friday and we’ll see. Health, shmealth, it’s those numbers on the scale! ;-)

I think you look great! If that were me, I'd be crying! My famous line to anyone about to take my picture is "from the waist up!"

I think you look wonderful. At first I saw the yellow dots and was wondering why you were hiding your face again....it took me a minute to figure out what was going on :)

Good luck with the blood work. Hopefully the UTI just messed you up a bit and you'll be fine. I had a scare about 2 years ago at a health fair where they took my blood sugar and it was 200+. I freaked out. My dad is diabetic (aunt and uncle were too), and I immediately called my doctor. It turns out it was a bad test somehow and that I was fine, but nothing like a good scare to get you exercising and eating right quickly!

I've been maintaining for the past few months and that is good enough for me for right now. I've lost 20 and hope to lose another 20 more, but just not right now. I'm exercising 5x a week and still eating what I want, but in moderation. It seems to be working.

Have a great weekend!
