Week 11

Well I only made it to the gym 3 days this week, having had an early appointment Monday and taking Thursday off. I don't feel too guilty about missing Thursday though. Typically Tues and Thurs I just do 30 minutes on the treadmill during my lunch break, and while I missed that, I did mow the lawn and walk 1.5 miles to the garage to pick up my truck after it's state inspection. However I did lose another 3 pounds since last week. That is 30 pounds in 11 weeks.

On top of that, we had friends over for a cook out, BBQ chicken with a home made sauce made with Jack Daniels, corn on the cob and an apple/pear coleslaw, recipe courtesy CookingLight.com, a new favorite site. The butter on the corn and the wine with dinner did put me over my calorie limit for the day, but I have been well under all week, so no harm done.

I believe I will celebrate the 30lbs by treating myself to a new muskie lure. Enjoy the holiday weekend!

Keep it going, and congratulations. Keep the updates coming. I love to cook myself, and have also gained a lot of weight over the last five to seven years. I'm going to need to do something soon myself, and will keep an eye on your progress.
