I need 9 breath mints

or I need to brush my teeth for 9 minutes, or I need to sleep for 9 hours [yeah, ok...])

This evening when I got home from my walk, I had thrown up 9 times.  Not large, projectile type, just... little spits of vomit.  Is that too much information?

My problem was three sided.  First, I ate too much for dinner.  Second, I went to walk too soon after eating said dinner.  Third, it was stinkin' hot.

Anyway, yesterday was an off day.  By the time I walked (after Brandy went to Praiser auditions), it was almost 11:00.  Then I had to recharge my A/C in my car, which took me almost 40 minutes.  I was too tired to blog.  Sorry, faithful fans, I get up at 4:30 AM for work.

So yesterday I consumed 2,280 calories and burned 665, which put me in the positive for 885.  Whoo!  Today, I consumed 2,139 calories and burned 619 (plus whatever the vomiting did for me...) for a balance of 980.  Double whoo!

Today was also weigh in day.  If you'll recall I weighed in when I shouldn't have Monday.  Not counting that, I lost 1 pound this week, which put me at 345.  That includes 3 days of junk, BBQ overeating and general mayhem for my gastrointestinal system.  This week, no mayhem!  My goal weight of 200 lbs. remains intact (that's 145 lbs. from now, for those of you who are subtractionally disinclined).

Things will get better if I keep on keepin' on (what am I Jerry Garcia?).  I have an Excel Spreadsheet that will track my weight weekly.  When I lose my first 50, I am having some kind of celebration.  Once I lose 50 lbs., I will be below 300 lbs. for the first time since... high school?  Over 10 years ago...

I've typed enough and I know some of you are nodding off, so I'll be quiet now.  Blessings on you and yours, and me and mine.
