Sunday Morning Weigh-in

Weight this morning: 242 lbs.
Loss this week: 4 lbs.
Lbs. to next goal (175): 67 lbs.

Note: I'm heading for Vegas on Thursday. I'm going to be eating myself silly, but that's OK, because that was one of the primary goals of the trip (along with sightseeing/poker). There will be no weekly weigh-in next week, but hopefully I will not lose too much ground.
Update in two weeks!

Ciao for now.

Another update

I wrote a long rant about something, but I'm not posting it. After reading it, I realized that there are small elements of hypocrisy in it, and one thing that I hate is a hypocrite, so I just vented and its gone.

Checked my friends list today, and there are several folks on it that I don't even know. I wonder why they bother to keep reading my journal, considering that I'm not very interesting or profound these days, and most of my journaling is going on in a more private format.

I've been collecting a lot of anecdotes, recipes and snippets of thought for my book. BTW, if anyone out there reading this has pictures of me from many years ago, I'd like copies please. I know I was very camera shy when I was at my heaviest, however, there may still be some pictures lurking around from places like AIT that I could use for "before" shots in my book. I've got a couple, but I had already lost a substantial amount of weight before some of them were taken.

Lately I've been feeling very disjointed. Not completely sure why. Probably because this damn job change seems like it's never actually going to occur. I'll just be glad when the contract is signed, sealed and delivered. Going to Vegas on Thursday, as I mentioned earlier today, and I am looking forward to that. I just feel like I'm stuck in a rut somehow, though I know that this is probably just because I've settled into a comfortable routine, and those close to me know that I need a little chaos in my life to feel alive.

One more thought. There are many people on my friends list that I miss seeing. I don't want to just read about your lives on LJ, I'd like to see you once in a while (would a couple of times a year be too much to ask?). Although I realize that the phone is a two-way invention, I constantly have to wonder why it always feels like it has to be me to reach out and touch someone. Everyone always has the same excuse, "Well, I never call anyone, so don't take it personally." Unfortunately, in some cases, because I know their other friends, I also know that this is a ton of crap as well. In other cases, admittedly, it's true. Everyone is different. I guess I'm just feeling a little cranky right now.

Ciao for now.
