No Quitters Here

Weigh In: 294

Another day of no budging on the scale, and it's another day of getting more and more frustrated with it. But, I have to stick to my guns - it'll come off.

For you sports fans, my Pistons were pretty symbolic of "Old Rob" when it came to weight loss. In the past, I'd have a great few months, I'd lose a lot of weight, but then I'd get 'happy' with where I was. I'd get complacent. And then, right when I began to rest on my laurels, I'd start to coast.

And then my opponent (the scale) would beat the crap out of me, and then I'd go home shaking my head, wondering what happened. To the Pistons fans out here, that's exactly what we witnessed tonight as they lost the series to Cleveland.

The "New Rob" however, has seen those mistakes that he's made in the past, and he's learned. If you've got your opponent down, you KEEP him down. You fight until the bell sounds. Kevin and I like to use a lot of Rocky references, and the old adage about taking whatever your opponent dishes out, and getting back up again counts.

So - when it comes to my weight loss, my opponent's got me in the ropes. I'm at wits end with this stupid plateau - but instead of hitting the mats face first, I've got my gloves up, taking the punishment. As long as I don't quit, I'll find that opening. And when I do, and I can find a crack in this plateau, I'm going to beat the crap out of it and not look back.

In the meantime, it's getting reeeeeaalllly annoying.

Sorry this blog is so random, I'm so pissed off about these Pistons I can't think straight. Catch ya'll tomorrow.
