I fought back this week and succeeded. I ate less on the weekend than I normally would and did more yardwork. I wasn’t perfect, but I was better. Amy and I have decided to really push hard to do more “core” foods instead of the breads and sugars. I’ve had a few sodas more than usual, but I can count on one hand the number I’ve had in the last month. That alone is quite an accomplishment.
I had to switch back to the elliptical this week. My knees were giving me too many problems from doing the running. Well, at least I think that’s the cause, though I really would not be surprised to find out that it was another gout attack (they can affect more than just the feet). So today I took some gout medication and if I start seeing immediate results, then I know what else I need to do to get the gout out of the way. If not, then it was the running and I need to slow down on that.
In spite of my knees, I still did a workout (I had not had one in about 6 days so it was rough getting back into the routine). I gotta keep this up. I lost this week, but I had lost two weeks ago too and had a gain in between. I want to make 50 by summer and I’m running out of time.
Starting weight: 319.0 lb
Previous weight: 279.0 lb
Current weight: 276.4 lb
Current loss/gain: -2.6 lb
Total loss/gain: -42.6 lb

Saw your note on Fat Bloggers site, and since I’m also a WWer, figured I’d come and say HI. Congrats on the loss! Good luck with core, I can’t do it. I do Flex, but eat mostly healthy foods. I also need to journal or I get to far out of control.
