Feeling pretty good...
Current Weight: 322
Last Week's Weight: 321
Gain for the Week: 1
Starting Weight: 383 Total Loss: 61
Yep, I know I gained a pound...but if you could have seen the food in Brazil you would understand why I'm feeling OK about it.
Every meal has bread and cheese and more bread! It was a total carb-fest. Also, they don't really "do" breakfast the way we do. It is very minimal: bread w/milk and coffee. That was tough because I love b-fast and it helps get me fueled up for the day.
Got to tell you about this place we went to dinner one evening. It was described as a "Tea Room." It was a buffet that included (literally) 15 different kinds of breads with things stuffed inside: meats and cheese, fruit, jams, etc.. I did I mention the desserts????
The one evening we were at another buffet that had a big tray of steamed veggies. I was never so happy to see broccoli in my entire life! I think I had two platefuls.
BTW, just to show you how traveling can play with your body... From Sunday to Sunday I flew 8 times and stayed in 3 different hotels. The day after I got back (Tuesday) I got on the scale and laughed when it hit 330lbs! It is almost impossible to gain 9 pounds in 8 days. The next day I was down to 226 and then 223 by Thursday. So, it took me almost a week for my body to get over being gone for a week. Just one more reason NOT to be a slave to the scale!
Well, I'm done traveling for a while. (Stacey is happy about that!) So, it is back to the daily battle to eat well, get healthy and live better! Come join the fight!

Friday Wegh-In 7/18/08
Yeah, I rocked it this week...
Current Weight: 321
Last Week's Weight: 326
Loss for the Week: 5
Starting Weight: 383 Total Loss: 62
Was it easy? Nope. I felt like I was fighting it all week but it did get easier as it went on. By yesterday, I wasn't thinking about food or my next meal or snack all the time. Praise God!
I want to thank you for the notes, emails, comments and even a couple of Grand Central voicemail messages. Your support mean more than you can know. That said, I need your prayers! I am headed to Brazil from Sunday to the following Sunday on a trip with Compassion International. For the most part, I will not be in control of where I eat. For some meals, I will not be in control of what I eat. It will be another test of eating the "right" foods in the "right" amounts.
Again, I covet your prayers for me but also please pray for the group of 15 people from across the US who are going to see the amazing work of Compassion International. You can check our Mornings w/TMD blog to see updates from our trip.
Since I will be away next week - there will be no weigh-in next Friday.
Live Well, Live Healthy!

Friday Weigh-In 6/20/08
Current Weight: 325
Last Week's Weight: 327
Loss for the Week: 2
Starting Weight: 383 Total Loss: 58
I will tell you that I'm happy for the loss this week but I really was feeling like it was going to be more. I spent two full days on the road in Nashville for meetings which always seems to affect my week. I ate well - no biscuits and gravy or chicken-fried anything! Fish, chicken and veggies...and they were good. However, I think that just the disruption of the travel sets me back. I wonder how folks who live on the road keep fit. There never seems to be enough time to go to the workout room or the pool - it is always an early breakfast or late dinner meeting or a plane to catch.
Well, it is a normal week coming up so I am going to push for a bigger loss. Our pool is open full-time now and Matt loves to swim and our home office is almost done. These things help me to keep moving and manage my time better. All of which means more rest and a better frame of mind to focus on what is important!
Live Well, Live Healthy,
