Ketchup, or catch up?

So as you can see, my schedule of blogging was blown out of the water last week.  Work was crazy and I just didn't have the time or energy to invest in it.  I'm quite sorry to anyone who actually reads this silly thing.

I considered writing make-up posts, but really I just can't.  I'll write the Melioration part of this post and then just get back on schedule.

Today I weighed in and I lost.  I started MFP at 335 lbs. several weeks ago.  I had some spikes due to.. well, just being lazy about it.  But for the last few weigh-ins I've consistently lost weight.  I'm down to 328.

I'm looking forward to being 299.  It will be the first time I've been under 300 since my senior year of high school, 1999.

We now return to our regulary scheduled programming.

Melioration Monday...

Today's Melioration Monday is going to be short.  Why?  Because I forgot to post it last night.

Last night I went to Powerfit Bootcamp for the first time in 2 weeks.  My work schedule changed and I thought it would be easier to go but it's actually been harder.

It was nice to work out, but it reminded me that regardless of how much weight I've lost (about 25 pounds since June 1), I still have a long, long way to go.

I was still the last person back from running a lap.  In fact, the only other man in the class lapped me during the obstacle-course-like workout we started with.

But I should keep on with it, because a year from now, it will have paid off.

Melioration Monday 1

Today is my first Melioration Monday.  I forgot to weigh in but I do have a brief non-scale victory, or NSV, to share.

Saturday I decided to go for a walk since I hadn't worked out all week.  I crossed the big road to the neighborhood across the way.  I don't walk in ours because we live on a dead end.

Anyway, I went around the loop I normally go on 3 times, about a mile and a half.  Part of the loop is a big hill I walk up.  As short ago as July, when I got to the to top I would have to slow down so I could catch my breath.

Saturday, when I got to the top, I was barely winded!  Whoo hoo!

It might seem minimal to some but it was a victory fro me.

I have been so busy!

So life has been busy around our household and I haven't been able to blog as much as I would like.

But, after reading a very interesting article by Jon Acuff about blogging, I'm going to try a schedule.  Here are the following days and topics I'm going to do my very best to blog about.

Monday - Since I weigh in on this day, I'll blog about weight loss - "Melioration Monday"
Tuesday - Free topic
Wednesday - "Weight Loss Wednesday" - a blog about my weight loss stuff, recipes and so forth
Thursday - "Theology Thursday" - I can almost hear someone rolling their eyes...
Friday - "5 for Friday" - top five lists I find about topics or that I make up on the spot

So since today is Melioration Monday I'll talk about my weigh in.  Last week I weighed in at 331 lbs.  Today, I was up to 338.  My wife is convinced something is wrong with the scale... Time will tell.
