Long story short: I didn’t qualify for the 501 Nationals yesterday.  I lost because I couldn’t beat players I should have owned.  Conversely, I beat the guys who should have owned me.  Just one of those days.

On the other hand, a darter I hadn’t seen in over a year came up to me and said “I almost didn’t recognize you.  How much weight have you lost?”  Well friends, the answer to that is 43.5 pounds.  This week finds me at 235 and I’m pleased to be moving in the right direction again, dropping 3 pounds (after last week’s gain of 1.5).  I’m working harder and it’s coming off slower.  I believe my body thinks where I’m at is just about right.  I disagree though.  I want to lose 20 more pounds before I go into my maintenance routine.

Onward and downward!
