So just to update anyone that is reading this, I had my weigh in a day earlier than the normal 7th of the month as we were heading down to the Cape early on the 7th (Sunday) to shoot some film of my brother's family and specifically footage of my niece Julia. We spent the entire day (Sept 6th) with Cris and his film crew (10 AM - 6 PM) and so by the time everyone packed up and left, I was pretty tired. Fortunately Mary gave me the little bit of a push that I needed and I headed down to the club to get my minimum 3 miles in.
Just like The Biggest Loser, I used the workout before weighing in as my "last chance workout" and pretty much do everything I can to get the weight down as much as possible. In an attempt to shorten an already bloated blog (again), I ended up doing 5 miles on the treadmill and 30 minutes on an elliptical trainer. I got home around 9 PM ready to face the scale.
As I had previously mention in another blog, I always have a fear that this will be the month I would reach the plateau and would only lose ~5 pounds. Frankly I was fine with that as I really wanted to just break the 230 mark and feel like I had accomplished yet another rung on the proverbial ladder of accomplishments. Quick sidenote is that I was 232 pounds when Mary and I got married 16 years ago! So with Mary by my side I stepped on the scale and was happy to see 224.8 pop up on the scale! Both of us seriously thought the scale was wrong so I got on it 2 more times just to verify it and was happy to discover that we were wrong and the scale was right! Obviously it's getting tougher to lose weight so I was very happy with a 12.4 Pound loss.
I suppose that is enough typing for now, especially since I have a meeting at noon so I will end it here. As usual, thanks for everyone's support and interest.
