If you ask me how I’m doing you will get the unedited answer that, depending on my mood, could be whimsical, sad, bitter, funny, or foreign. Some of my favorite answers are más o menos (Spanish) or Comme ci, comme ca (French) which both basically mean, eh. That feeling sounds so much better in a foreign language and says so much. I mean I could go around saying eh but people would probably start to worry about me, if they really cared, and we don’t want to burden the world with our troubles now do we.
Lately
I have been feeling reasonably good though. I have been working out almost
every morning, whether it is weights or just walking, I am getting my fat butt
out of bed and hitting the gym at work.
It really is a convenience having the gym available; I just wish the
showers were better. I swear we had better showers in high school but could
just be time playing tricks with my mind. So I exercise before work and drink
my shakes for breakfast and lunch. In between I have greek yogurt, to satisfy
the sweet cravings, roasted soy nuts, for the salty cravings, and low-fat
string cheese for the cheesy goodness. During the day I get up and walk the
building, luckily my side of campus is a series of connected buildings, so I
get some additional walking time in. For dinner I usually have chicken breast
or fish, brown rice or not, and some salad and healthy vegetables. I have been
trying to avoid bread, starchy vegetables such as corn, peas and potatoes. It
seems to have worked as I lost….wait for it….
3 more
pounds this week! I thought for sure I was going to be up as I had stopped in
to the shop where our meetings are last week and weighed myself on the scale
and it had me back at 343 but I was wrong. I felt full when I stepped on the
scale and I thought for sure that it would be bad news but I was so happy when
it wasn’t. So right now when people ask me how I feel I can say “Great!” and
it, for the most part, is the truth.
So how
are you doing?
Starting weight – 343.2 Current
Weight – 336.8

Comme ci, comme ca--that's my favorite, even after all these years! Keep going on the diet, bro! I'm rooting for you! I have 45 pounds to lose myself.
