I mentioned in my last update that we (kaiala and I) were looking for a new scale, so that we could get a handle on our actual weight to see if this new way of eating is going to work. Well we found one and it does hold and weigh us both (not at the same time of course), so we are hopeful that it will help us keep track of where we stand.
We did our first weigh-in last Sunday and I have to say I was not happy. Apparently I have gained more weight than I though I had. I have to believe that the new scale is accurate and given that idea, then I have gained about 30 lbs. So at this point I am currently at my highest weight 469.0.
I am committing to eating according to the pre-packed Nutrisystem plan that we are getting delivered. The biggest advantage that I see this having is that it will provide the portion control that neither of us seems to be capable of doing on our own.
Well that’s all I have to say about this for now, I know that we have to do whatever is necessary to lose the weight. Otherwise neither of us will live long, and I just can’t take being this annoyed/depressed about myself.
More later………..
Well folks it’s been a while and I thought I should put some info out here again.
Life has been a bit on the hectic side lately, the job is going well but keeping me hopping right along which keeps me from doing some of the things that I would rather be doing.
On the poker front – I haven’t been able to play much either live or online, so I am having no luck whatsoever in getting a shot at winning a seat in the WSOP Main Event. A few weeks ago my fiancé/slavegirl and I played in a charity tournament for the rotary club here locally and found out that there is a new charity poker room here in town. Last week we went over to play but didn’t have enough people to play a tournament so we played in a short handed cash game. I didn’t do badly (I actually had some money left when we were done), but I made a few really bad plays that cost me a lot of chips. I was hoping to get a shot at playing again this weekend, but they didn’t have a license for this weekend so I will have to try playing online.
On the lifestyle front – I have been listening to this really interesting podcast lately from DungeonPlace.com. The people that put this on are an odd and interesting group that regularly has me thinking and laughing like a madman.
On the rest of my life – kaiala (my fiancé/slavegirl) and I have started using the Nutrisystem prepackaged meals to try and lost some weight. We have been doing this for just over a month (though we seem to have trouble staying on the program). We have felt some difference, but we are having some issues trying to find out if we are actually losing weight, since our scale seems to have a mind of its own. One day I will get on it to weigh myself and it will give me a number I basically expect, a week later I will get on it and it will be 30-40 pounds heavier or lighter. I just don’t believe that we are having these kinds of huge swings in a week’s time. We are looking into getting a new scale, but it’s a pain in the ass to find one that will actually weigh my fat ass (450+).
Well I have rambled enough for right now, more later…..
