Eli's Back!

OK, last week I didn't weigh in because I was on vacation.

It was really great to see my friend Paul graduate from flight school! He must work out like crazy, though, because he's always been really good about keeping track of what he eats and eating really well to maximize weight loss (he's a wrestler), but he was chowing down! I'd sit there with a sub and a water and watch him eat a double cheeseburger with fries and the biggest glass of sweet tea in creation! I didn't feel too bad for myself, though, because I loosened up on the diet a little bit after I went to the Army Ball and was done fitting into my formal dress! (Also, I really like subs, so when that's a healthy alternative to a double cheeseburger, I'm not too bummed.)

This week I came in planning to weigh in on Monday and--the scale was gone! The remodeling here at the station means things are in all sorts of weird places, and we couldn't find the scale for anything. So Paula weighed in at home and I was waiting until the scale showed up.

It showed up today.

I wasn't sure about weighing in today. I hadn't planned for it, so I ate a big healthy breakfast and I've already drank a half liter of water! But I'm supposed to be below 200lbs now, and since the inches around my waist were still going down, I thought I'd hop on and see where I'm at. So here's my unofficial weigh in: 198.5! I've lost 10.5 pounds, and 6 inches off my waist! It's so nice to see my clothes finally fitting better.
