Traveling again this week put the hurt on my weight loss. I had to estimate my weight for Friday based on my actual weight Saturday morning. This is the first time in 11 weeks I have regressed and gained weight. Yuck.

I’ve gone out a limb and filled out my brackets for the record. And yes that’s right, I’m ever hopeful that youthful athleticism of The Cats and experienced coaching of Calapari will bring home the banner this year. Caroline’s Crimson Tide brought home the football title, perhaps The Cats will be able to do the same on the Basketball side of the Scifres houshold.
It’s judgment day again and time to step up on the scales of truth.
Wow, things really slow down once you start getting close to your goal. I’m working harder and harder to get the weight loss each week. I’m convinced that working out while I am on a serious diet is causing me to gain muscle mass as I lose fat and therefore slowing the pace of my progress. This is probably a great thing but it is destroying the nice classically conditioned Pavlovian worm fuzzy I get when I lose 2+ pounds a week on Judgment day. Those weeks are clearly long gone. I thought I would hit my goal by the end of March and at this point I’m not sure that will be possible. I am however at the lowest weight I have been in 15 years and on the shortest, and last, belt loop on my oldest belt (if I don’t tuck in my shirt ). Progress!
