Weekly update…
I am down another pound for 68.6 total and new weight of 265.8 lbs.; I expected to do better this week, but considering I spent 5 days at an all-inclusive 5 star resort in Cancun this week, a 1 lbs. loss isn’t that bad. I worked out multiple times per day, and with a trainer some. I also ordered and ate very clean at meals, but I obviously had more BLT’s than I had figured in…(bites, licks, and tastes!) The rigorous training schedule from this past week should propel me to have an even better week this week coming up. I gotta keep humping to Dec. 12th so that the "interest" payments to my dad are achievable. Obviously his new plan to give us 3 more months to make the goal weights but with stipulations is working…
Matthew was up .4 this week for a new total loss of 93.6 lbs. and a new weight of 237 lbs., Matthew did some traveling this week, and must have tripped up on some hotdogs or soft pretzels while at the Phillies game he attended Monday night while in PA. Not sure what the ballpark meat of choice is in Philly. If he would have been at Wrigley, then we all know the bratwurst would be the culprit. But overall, Matthew is still setting the standard for others to follow…when he gets off the reservation, it is not a total blow-out, and he always gets back on the horse. No wonder he is down 93.6 pounds with just 17 to go to meet his goal;
Mark came in at dead even which puts him at a 39.4 lbs. loss and a new weight of 225.2 lbs. Mark had a good week of workouts and ate clean. But as we have all experienced on this journey, once you make the decision to do things right again, it takes a couple of weeks to get the big mo’ on your side again. (momentum for those of you non-athletic types)
Bear in mind Matthew and I have to be at 220 lbs. to meet our goal, and Mark has to be at 200 lbs.
Dad is still "hovering" (I use that term very loosely) around his goal weight. He has been out of town the last two weekends. Last weekend at the State Fair enjoying deep fried Snicker Bars, and this weekend at his Daniel Island home where he went to his favorite steak house The Oak House…home of the 36 oz. bone-in ribeye! Be interested to see if he has the strength to walk in and weigh next Saturday with all the fasting and Ex-lax it is going to take to make up for that program…:-)
Anyway, have a great week. The Duncan Boy’s are still in the fight. Plan on being on the cover of a Weight Watchers magazine by next July’s edition!
