Friday Weigh In – 7-9-10

This weigh in is dedicated to Dave Matthews and his band…

Being sick and (admittedly) quite lazy from the 4th and the illness made for a bad week. Mr. Scale said I was 314.8 lbs today, and I told him he was welcome to go outside and play a game called “hide and go fuck yourself.” I am working on developing a healthy relationship with the scale. I have gained 3 lbs since last week and I’m down a total of 4 lbs since 4/30/10.

Somehow the tape remained the same. 53 1/2 inches, which is identical to last week but 1 inch less since 4/30/10.

I dedicated this to DMB, because of his song many albums ago, called “#41″. One of the lines in the chorus says,

“I will go in this way, and I’ll find my own way out.”

Honestly, this has been ME for most of my life. Countless times I have been given advice and guidance on what to do, and I have instead followed my own path. Most times I encountered a lot of adversity, but it always did seem to work itself out in the end, including college and career choices, vehicle purchases, the city I live in, etc.

This is no different. I have received many offers to communicate over email for help and counseling, and while I am saving every offer in the event I have a change of heart, I’m doing this my own way. You may read this and disagree, but I’m hard wired to lift weights, and this has been ME for more than half my life. I’m not interested in putting all my focus on cardio. I detest marathons, triathlons, etc. You can keep your low calorie Weight Watchers approach.

I have done this before, and done it my way. I have slowly built muscle, and slowly cut the fat at the same time. The difference between then and now is that I have more responsibility and more distractions. I know this is the same song and dance, weigh in after weigh in, but I absolutely will get it done. It may take me a long time, but I will get there.
