NOT IN MY HAPPY PLACE!

The dreaded day has arrived. As I sit here at my desk trying to prepare this blog I find myself in a sour mood. Don't think I'll be much fun today! I got on the scale and I only lost 1 lowly pound! I was hoping for a lot better than that especially after having zero last week and this week I attended a boot camp! Oh well, what it is...is what it is. The grand total is now 66 pounds. I was hoping to get 80 by Christmas but that no longer seems possible. This could be the start of a long plateau or still something left over from me going off my blood pressure medicine. My doctor had told me that when I go off the pills that it is possible to have excess fluid build up as the body is reacting to no longer having this stuff in my system. So...maybe that might be behind this, but that's only a maybe.

The boot camp...wow! I was feeling the pain the next day, that's for sure! Fortunately I got in with a good group of people and actually enjoyed it...in some weird way. The Sarge was in her element, whistle in hand throughout the evening. She just loves taunting people...eating chocolate while the rest of us were sweating it out! Special mention to my bud Dave Cunningham...the guy did the workout after just recovering from the flu! He still wasn't 100% but he still did it. That's far better than Big Bob (Robert Biron) who declined to join in on the action. Fortunately Doris, his wife, held up the family honour...way to go Doris! I should also mention Sheri...who harassed me throughout the boot camp. Between her and the Sarge I don't know who is worse!

Thought...If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat???

Why...Why do Kamikaze pilots where helmets?

"May the Saints protect ye -
An' sorrow neglect ye -
An' bad luck to the one
That doesn't respect ye."

Big Dave out!

  1. Remember Dave, on the Biggest Loser Daniel gained the one week and had a zero the following week. Then last week he lost a pile. It will happen like this, don't let these times get you down, remember the pants? You are still losing in sizes! The scale is a number yes, but only a guidleline. The truth is in what you wear and your having to keep buying new pants! I applaud you so don't be glum chum! You're fabulous and an inspiration to so many! If you feel bad pull out the first pants you wore in the first picture before this venture started, that will bring you back up!
    Keep thinking possitive,try to be stress free, stress puts weight on!
