Weekly Weigh-in #22: Back On Track

I was less than happy about last week's weigh-in numbers ... mainly because I ended up gaining 5 pounds in one week and I didn't have any explanation why other than a minor decrease in my exercise and a minor increase of portion sizes while eating. I guess that was all it took for me to gain the weight, but it seemed excessive that I should gain 5 pounds without completely pigging out. I recommitted myself to our guiding principles this week and managed to lose all five pounds that I gained the week before!

Mrs. continues her descent into the 100s and I'm really glad to see that she's no longer in the 200+ weight category. I'm exceptionally proud of my wife. She continues to tackle her own weight loss, a new job, our daughter (who is in her "terrible twos" phase) and somehow still makes time for helping to motivate me to lose weight. I can't give this lady enough credit.

On another note, we decided it was time to post yet another photo update. I have to confess that I find this to be the single most painful part of this blog. It's one thing to use our words to motivate ourselves and others to get fit ... but it's something else to post photos of my fat gut all over the internet. I hope somebody appreciates how embarrassing this is.
