Today we celebrated the 50th Wedding Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa Windy. Jackie and I traveled out to Reese for the church ceremony then headed up to KingFish up on the water in Bay City where we had dinner and a few drinks. It was nice to see the family and celebrate the occasion with everyone.
Not something you would normally want to say about yourself, but this time it is a good thing. Today we had our final weigh in at work for our biggest loser competition. My starting weight was 186 and my finishing weight was 171 for a total of 15lbs weight loss which is about 8.1% bodyweight lost. Not too bad for 1 month. All in all I am really happy. I went and found some old pictures that Jackie and I took when we first got our gym membership. I didn’t really think I was in as bad of shape as I looked. But compared to now, I can’t beleive I ever looked the way I did. I am actually pretty embarassed about these pictures but whatever, I put up embarassing photos of everyone else. So brace yourself. What you might see is disturbing. The first ones are from June of 2006 when I was 188 pounds. When I started the competion I weighed just just about the same so this is a pretty fair contrast.
And these are from today
Not bad..all it took was a lot of working out and some strict dieting. I am really happy about what I have accomplished and I am not done yet. I am after those 6pack abs which have eluded me since high school. I am gonna get them back.
Yesterday our friend Laura had her 27th Birthday party and she did it up Roller Disco style. Jackie and I searched all week for vintage clothing. Jackie went straight up roller disco and I took the more general 70’s style. We actually wore roller skates too. It was a lot of fun. Happy Birthday Laura. Welcome to the 27 club.
Well today Jackie, Rudz, Geoff and I all went downtown for opening day. We were down there at about 9am and started drinking shortly after. We were at HockeyTown Cafe which was nice because they had a lot of BIG TV’s for us to watch the game on since the weather wasn’t really all that great. We met up with Craig and a few of his friends at HockeyTown too so that was cool. Afterwards we went to Mexican Town to get some food and headed on back. Really, not all that much happened. Tigers lost and we had a good time. Here are the photo’s

Well I am just over 2 weeks into this whole Biggest Loser thing with some people at work. So far, from everything I have heard, I seem to be the leader. I have lost a total of 8lbs. That was when I weighed myself at work, fully clothed. So I went from 186 to 178. Jackie and I have the side bet. I got down 9lbs there, from 180 to 171, neked. That was Saturday. I have came back up a pound here on Sunday. I hope to lose atleast 3 more lbs by the time this finishes. That will take me down to 168.
Even with that, yes I am looking better, but I have actually lost a lot of weight in other areas I didn’t think I would lose weight in. So I still have a lot of work to do around the waist still but this is a very good start. I am happy with where I am at. My sister the other day actually said she didn’t think I could get down to 168. That helped me to a great workout the next day, which after my workout I weighted 171. I I like it when people keep doubting me because I am soooo stubborn that I use it to my advantage and turn that into motivation so I can prove them wrong. So keep doubting me everyone. Please..
Tigers Opening Day tomorrow. Gonna head down there at 9am to get my drink on. GO TIGERS!!!
Well I came home from work and my computer stopped working. So far my only conclusion is my video card because I cant seem to get a video display to come on. When I pulled out the card I noticed a popped capacitor. And of course I bought it 1 year and 1 month ago so it is not in warranty anymore. BAH.. I figure I have about a month I can do without a computer. With all the going to the gym for this competition, haven’t found much time to go on it anyways.
Down 3 lbs… Weigh in Wednesday.
