• Weigh-In: Week 90

    04 Mar 2008 /  @Work, Time-Warner, WebCudgel, WeightWatchers

    Sometimes, what you eat catches up with you. I went to work yesterday with a twinge of a gout attack; I still managed to get in my workout. Today, I went to work and, after one hour, returned home. The pain was such that I could barely think; I couldn’t concentrate and was just wasting my time there.

    What caught up with me started with Friday night’s happy hour (Cinnabon cheesecake), Saturday night’s card game with an elderly friend (Peppridge Farms cookies, banana bread, and other cookies at church), Sunday (sweet cereal and pancakes), and a few servings of soda, resulting in the aforementioned gout attack.

    Ironically, today’s meeting was discussing good health habits and one of them was cutting back or eliminating sugars and alcohol. Since those are obviously big contributors to my gout (there are different primary triggers from different sufferers), I made a personal promise to cut back on the processed sugars for the next week. This means I can still have fresh fruit. The only exception will be my protein bars that I sometimes use to replace lunch after a workout.

    So today was the first time I missed my workout. My exercise partner took advantage of today’s schedule to go vote at lunch. I guess I’ll be working out the rest of the week (if my gout improves tonight).

    I obviously have issues with control on the weekends and I really need to work on that. It is so much easier on weekdays when I have a routine.

    Still, in spite of my weekend, I extended my loss streak to four weeks. I can do better and I will.

    Starting weight: 319.0 lb
    Previous weight: 282.8 lb
    Current weight: 282.4 lb
    Current loss/gain: -0.4 lb
    Total loss/gain: -36.6 lb
