Cooker's Throwdown Friday ... 10-18-13

[Cooker]

Hello Throwdowners!! I'll start off by apologizing for my lack of activity last week. I'm just so busy I can't seem to find time to even check in:redface2: ... I'm up a couple of pound but I have been eating on the run and mostly fast food so it's to be expected.

Had my yearly PCP visit and all is well. Off to the cardio and eye doctors next month but I don't expect and surprises as I seem to be doing and feeling just fine.

Have you guys and gals had a good week? Any breaking news?

Heading to the State Fair in a bit .... corndogs, funnel cakes..... YUMMO!!!! Hide the scales!!!:biggrin2:


2013 Starting Weight: 231
Last Weigh In : 216.5
Todays Weight: 219.0
YTD: -12

Hey there, Mr. Chimp! Watch out for those Fair Foods. Some of the concoctions I've read about make my numbers jump just from seeing the pictures! The Texans usually win the prize for things like deep fried butter or deep fried ice cream. As they say in Yiddish. . . Oy vey!

I've had an OK week - not great but not too bad. My usual weigh-in day is Thursday, and this week's Thursday numbers were:

Start of year: 164.6
Last week: 157.2
This week: 157.2

YTD: -7.2

I'm probably up a pound or so in fluid today, as yesterday's dinner was at one of my wife's favorite Mexican style places. Those restaurants use way more salt than we ever do, and I show it every time in the next couple of days' weight. It does dissipate, but I feel it for those few days. We'll see what the weekend brings. . .

Steve.... I did pretty good at the Fair. One corn dog a bag of mini donuts and two bottle of water. Could have been much worse!!!!

Steve, glad to read that you're staying steady with your weight. Cooker, glad to read that the SC state fair survived another Chimp attack!:tongue2:
My weight is exactly where it was on last Wednesday's post.
149

D D D D Doughnuts? OOooooooooooooh! I used to love those things, but now they just come back to haunt me, and in a most unpleasant way. If I eat anything deep fried that absorbs the cooking fat, I can taste it for days. For some reason, fried potatoes don't affect me this way - only things that have lots of dough. I guess my innards are trying to help me behave.

Donuts? Cake donut please. I will donut it to charity, hehe.

It seems that probably everyone is a little busy. I notice the thread is a little slow. Of course, I haven't been here much. That job of mine is interfering with my extra curricular activities.

Cindy and I are turning ourselves in. We are busted. Guilty. Fat police here we come. We are attending a Weight Watchers meeting Saturday morning. Yes, it has come to this. While you all are a good source of accountability, you have been too nice to me lately, hehe. So, I have to go to listen to the WW lady give a talk while she holds a whip in one hand and a pom pom in the other.

Hey Duffy, we are going to have to get our collective buns up and start walking and training again. I remember that you have an event coming up next year. I am approaching this new WW membership with the resolve to exercise daily (walk at first) and drink more water.

Have a good day and rest of the week everyone. I'm off to a busy day now.
