    Howdy gents!

    I had another good week in watching what I ate. I also managed to get on the treadmill a few times. Unfortunately, I think a part of my loss can be attributed to a line of duty death department had this week. When a co-worker is murdered everything kind of becomes a bit surreal and you just go through the motions. It seems to be happening way to often nowadays. Enough of that!!

    Checking in.

    CWW = 208.1
    LWW = 205.3
    Gain = 2.8

    Not a good two weeks, mostly inconsistent eating on the weekends.

    Looks like everyone else is off to a good start for the new year. Keep it up!

    Started a new book called “No Sweat” by Michelle Segar that’s a fun read to keep me motivated. It's only $2 on Kindle if any of you enjoy reading that type of book.

    Mornin' men!

    I hope you are all doing well and have a great upcoming week. I did not realize that I have not posted a chart in a couple of weeks. My apologies!

    Anyways, I had another good week and continue to go in the right direction.

    Horst, I am going to download that book. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Bad week of eating again:

    Going to try to string together two weeks of good overall eating in a row. Small goals. Also, I’m planning to enjoy myself during the Super Bowl - I’m an Eagles fan!

    I've always liked the Patriots and would love to be Tom Brady for a month. But, I'm rooting for the Eagles too. Patriots have soon enough and at least the Eagle logo looks a little like a Seahawk. :-)

    I had another decent week. I'm really hoping too keep this trend going.

    Halfway through my current short goal of two straight weeks of good check-ins.

    Only a few days until the first-ever Eagles Super Bowl victory! Tim, I'll accept that reason for cheering. :smile: Two of my best friends out here in Madison are diehard Seahawks fans too.

    This week was a holding pattern. Slight gain but didn't give much back of the 3.5 pounds I was down last week and that makes me happy.

    LWW = 204.6
    CWW = 204.8
    Gain =0.2

    Trying to be good this weekend and continue downward next week. That will be somewhat easier because I am not a fan of either the Patriots or the Eagles. If I had to pick, I would root for Philly cuz NE has won enough titles recently.

    Hi guys - back after traveling around the world and a rough week recovering. Generally making some progress, through the past couple of days have been not so good.

    Brad - nice to see a solid drop! Tim, you're doing great.

    Out of 34 days this year, I've got in 29 exercise days so far - on track to hit 6 out of 7 again.

    I head for Hawaii in two weeks, and I want to be under 225 legit.

    Nobody snack out tomorrow - even if you are an Eagles or Patriots fan!

    Can't believe January is already gone. The months and years seem to go by faster and faster. Most of us had a decent week and I hope no one overdid it too much for the Superbowl. Brad gets a pass because his Eagles are now the World Champs. I didn't snack at all and was very good. I caught bits and pieces of the game but spent my time in the garage building a coffee table and some end tables for the wife.

    Anyways, here is the chart. Hope you all have a great week!

    Off-topic, but you should post some pictures of your tables! :smiley: I enjoy woodworking (not good at it yet, but I enjoy it) so I like seeing other people's projects too.

    I spent Saturday in the garage with my girls building some shelves for over the garage door. The best part was taking my table saw out in the snow to rip a few 2x4s (not easy to see in the picture, but it started coming down pretty heavy while I was out there)

    Ignore the mess on the left side of my garage - our basement flooded a while back so we're keeping a bunch of stuff out there right now.

    Uh Oh, you opened the door to woodworking talk and pictures. I love talking about and showing off projects. It is awesome that you were able to get out there with your girls.

    BTW, I love that saw. I friend of mine had one and I really liked the way the gear driven fence worked. Very smooth and precise.

    Sorry, but you asked for it :), here goes with my pics.

    There is another end table that is not in the pic. The tops are maple and the bottoms will be all white. Still also need to install drawers.

    Love those woodworking photos! When I retire......

    I was on a business trip, Sales kickoff, all week. And you can imagine the food and drink on offer. Feel pretty good that I worked out every day and I only gained a pound.

    Gain 1.2

    Off to Hawaii next week, and much fatter than I'd like to be. Aiming to cut at least a couple of pounds this week.
