Yesterday's Weigh In: 272.0 Today's Weigh In: 271.25
Five Day Average: 272.65
My scale bounced back and forth between 271 and 271.5 today, so I took the average.
Today's a big day for me. First off, the Michigan (and Colorado) representatives of the Coalition are meeting at Applebees for lunch today. Kevin and Beck have made their way into town, and Melissa and Grant, Kristen and Vince (?) and Erin and myself are going to meet up before Kevin and Beck make their way to the Pistons game. That's pretty cool.
Also, I saw the 271.25 on the scale today - which is almost a "new low" for me - something I haven't been able to post in a long, long time. My five day average has dropped from over 276 just since Monday.
I am doing what I can to break a cycle that I've been stuck in for literally 4-5 months. I get down to ALMOST 270, and then I feel comfortable with where I am, and then I completely blow it with a stupid eating decision that pushes me back up to where I started. Last night had potential for that trap - Erin and I went to go see Lion King (amazing production, go see it if you get the chance) and we went to Sweet Lorraine's for dinner beforehand. Lorraine's is a pretty fancy - not too much - restaurant with FANTASTIC food.
The problem is, most of it isn't great for you. I found a great meal though - chicken kebabs with green salad, topped with red bell pepper hummus as the dressing. We shared an eggnog cheesecake dessert (Erin's favorite), and I had 3 TINY forks full - where you barely use the tip of the fork, and when I went for the fourth bite Erin looked at me. I ignored her look, and went for the fourth bite - to which she grabbed my fork and took it from me. I love that woman.
So this week is really important to me, and getting to meet up with some of the Coalition is going to give me a bit of a boost. By this time next week, I could potentially have a 5-day average that is in the 260's, a goal that has eluded me for months.
All it takes is a bit of dedication.

Kudos to Erin!
Hey Rob - somewhat random question.
You were a 1x now, right? Around what weight were you in the 2xl size?
Will - I still hover around a 2x in some shirts - I'd venture to say I got into a 2 (from a 3x) around 290 or so.
Good job Rob - you're definitely back on track, and that's not an easy thing to do - ESPECIALLY this time of year. I can see the 260's in your near future. Glad to see you went back to the 5 day average thing on the weight tracking - I think that's a good way to go.
See you in the gym about 6AM Wed for our weight training session!

nice Rob you are almost to the 260s! Hopefully the get together didnt stump you with to much yummy food. I totally agree with Will "kudos to Erin". My wife actually got me on the treadmill this weekend with a few words and a "look". I think the look said something like "get off the couch fatty and workout".
Good job, Tuck,. It's about damn time. Keep rolling bro.
Sounds great Rob - keep at it. How did you fare at the get together?
Kudos to Erin indeed, but shame on you for making her do that... Tell you what, if you aren't in the 260's by the new year, I'm done reading your blog. How's that for motivation? ;)
