Cooker's Throwdown Friday ... 1-9-15

[Cooker]

Greetings! I hope this finds everyone well and enjoying a good start to the year 2015!! I have really tried to watch my carb intake and have done pretty well. I have allowed myself a small sweet treat daily and it seems to satisfy my sweet tooth so far!! Either the weather, the crud or work has gotten in the way of walking but I hope to do better in the coming weeks!!

No New Years resolution for TheChimp .... just going to try and "downsize" in 2015!!!

2015 Starting Weight: 243.50
This Week's Weight: 239.75

Oh those carbs! I actually am beginning to not miss them as much as I used to. My weight for this week is 200 down a few lbs. from last week's weight. Now that I have a date set fro OHS (Feb. 16) I really have an incentive to be at a good fighting weight with a minimum of extra baggage. Therefore I plan to continue with the low carbs and portion control diet that has worked so well for me over the past 18 months. And hey, today is my 66th birthday! Hooray!

Okay, I have been a no-show and I apologize. It's hard to keep weight on my mind while being a 24/7 nurse for my DW but that's no excuse for not checking in. I am pleased to say I had to get on the scales the other day for docs and I haven't done any further damage (no gain, in other words). Having to do so much take-out lately, I was worried, so status quo is something. Meanwhile, I'm tardy but hope you had a Happy Birthday Jim, and in February 16 you've got a great date. That was mine in 2005 -- yes, my 10th valversary is coming up -- it worked well for me and I am sure it will for you as well.

Meanwhile where is our beloved Chimp -- and Duffey and Wise and so many other wonderful Throwdowners? Hope I haven't contributed to the waning of this valuable and long-thriving forum. Hope all are having a good Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. (MLK was a great man, whose work for peaceful change seems more exemplary today than ever. I also celebrate the birthday this Monday of Robert E. Lee, especially his postwar work toward education innovation and national reconciliation. I am a grad of his little college in the Valley of Virginia so I have studied his life a good deal.)

So where are we all -- come back, come back, at least say hello…...
