Drumroll please!!!!!
The results are in and the official weight is....
240.4 lbs!
For the second time, I have beaten the Dietbet challenge weight! For those keeping track, when I started my first Dietbet Challenge, my weight was 268!!! So thanks to using the challenges to motivate me, I have lost a total of 28 pounds!!! Will I do a third challenge? It's very possible, but I want to wait for a few weeks before I decide for sure.
Looking back, I have lost 70+ pounds since the beginning. I have come a long way, and I still have some distance to go, and this part will be much harder for sure. So to Combat this, I will break my goals into 3 'chucks':
Chunk 1: My pre-married weight - 225
Chunk 2: The BMI line between Obese and over - 209
Chunk 3: My goal weight by October 9th - 200
The only chunk with a set date is the final one, because thats what it has been all along.
From there I figure I have 151 days until the goal, thats 5 months to lose the 40 pounds, so it comes out to 8 pounds every 30 days or 2 pounds a week. Kind of where I am right now anyway!
As for my 5K goal, thats back on the board too... I am a little sore from some extreme walking on Tuesday & Wednesday, but my knee doesnt feel like it had been. So once again, I will hit the treadmill and prepare for that goal :)
For today: Enjoy my second win! I plan to have a small off day. Don't worry, I don't plan on eating everything in sight. But, I have to celebrate a LITTLE! hehehe
Got to go, I will have other challengers coming in to weigh out on the scale of destiny! Have a GREAT day :D

5/9/2012: Sorry I was away for a while
This Mornings weigh in (with clothes): 240.6
Dietbet days remaining: 2
Day remaining til Oct 9,2012: 152
Sorry I haven't been blogging for a bit, I was too busy with life to do it :D. Delhi is our little slice of heaven and we spent plenty of time there enjoying the surroundings. For those of you who don't know about Delhi, this is where the Misses & I wish to grow old sooner rather then later. Its 3+ acres of land with a little house in the middle of it, hidden from the road, its very private. we have a LOT of work to do on the grounds, but its a work of love. After all, once we get there, we just might need cheap hobbies for a while ;)
But in our current situation, its our get away. We like to relax and enjoy ourselves there, and we were VERY good about that! It's amazing what a few months of diet eating will do to your food desires, and the urge to indulge just wasnt there as bad. Sure I had some large Kahlua & Creams, but nothing worse then that. Amazing!
Yesterday I went with a friend of mine to the water front by shore parkway. Hes very fit, and what would be a workout for me is nothing but a relaxing walk for him. Still I kept up with him as best as I could, and would have done more if it wasnt for the weather. I dont mind having a drill instructor type pushing me around some ;).
This morning scale reading were definitly to my liking. When I woke up, I weighed in (naked mind you) at 237.8! The number you see above in the header is with my clothes on AND after breakfast!!! So long as I behave myself for the next few day, I should cruise to victory on my Dietbet challenge easily!!!
More importantly, my wife hit a new low, Insulin wise: 95! For me, thats just as good as any weight loss on her part! While we know it will bounce, it is nice to see her wake up with her numbers in the right place at least for one morning!
Well thats it for now, more to come soon, I promise I won't be away too long ;)
