Losing a part of me

Losing a part of me

Mitch's quest to lose weight… a lot of it.

  • Day 965

    We remember. I went out for a good walk yesterday after lunch. I wanted to jog the first kilometre, but I was having trouble, so I jogged the first half, then the first and last quarter of the second kilometre. In other words, I still jogged a kilometre, just not in a row. I did

    It was only yesterday that I wrote that the weight that I was up since last week’s best would come off soon enough. I was in utter shock to see that it was today! Yes, I stepped onto the bathroom scale this morning and to my complete shock I weigh 4.8 lbs. less than I

  • Day 963

    Leslie arrived last night! She got in late, but I did not mind waiting. I feel so much happier when she is here (or when I am there). We did not turn off the lights to sleep until after 1:00am, so I may not have slept as long as I would have liked… but I

    Leslie is coming today! Woohoo! She won’t be landing until late tonight, but at least I know that when I next get into bed, she will be next to me. The procedure went well yesterday, and when I got home, I was finally able to have my first solid meal since Thursday afternoon. It was

  • Day 961

    A couple of years ago I would have begun this entry with a dozen curse words. I would have been throwing things and spewing vile and anger. I am trying to be a better man, so I will simply say that I am extremely disappointed that after going all of Friday without solid food, only

  • Day 960

    I did not do better yesterday, gaining another two pounds this morning. I was scared last night about today’s fast day – the preparation for my procedure tomorrow started this morning – and so I splurged last night. Today I am limited to clear liquids only. I am feeling weak already, and not happy at

  • Day 959

    My body smote me hard this morning! I gave in yesterday afternoon and had an order of French fries because we met at Wendy’s before the meeting… but I never thought that a single order of fries would have me up by three pounds this morning! I hate myself for faltering! I will do better

  • Day 958

    I decided I would not be walking today. I had a lovely chat with my wife, I went to do some errands, and then after lunch I took Her Royal Floofness to the salon for her spa treatment. Let me tell you, she looks a lot less floofy now than she did this morning! She

  • Day 957

    While I was not pleased to see that my weight was slightly up this morning, I am comforted to know that I did everything right yesterday, and that the slight rise was likely just a blip. How often have I said that it is not about the points on the graph, but rather the downward

  • Day 956

    Happy Labour Day! Another day, another drop! I feel great about being down 17.8 lbs. since I started getting back on track. I have a long way to go, but I am making progress. I am still not moving my bowels, but that is another issue. Yesterday’s walk took me 9.38km and was the first
