David week 17...337.6 lbs. (-3.2 lbs.) Total Loss 39 lbs.

Hey there!  I'm back after taking a week off of blogging.  I guess I just got busy.  Last week I did weigh in and I was 339.8 so I lost a pound in week 16 and 2.2 more this past week.  I've been doing really well and I just CAN'T WAIT until I am back down below 300 lbs.  I feel really good but I know I will feel amazing when I get to my goal weight of 250.  

I did have a bit of a setback 2 weeks ago.  I was playing basketball, as I usually do every thursday night, and my foot came down hard on someone else's foot (poor guy) and the next morning I could barely walk on it.  I was hoping I just bruised it but everyone is saying that it is probably plantar fasciitis.  Which means I probably won't be able to play basketball for a few weeks which sucks really bad because it was the only really HARD exercise I got.  I bike 40 miles a week but basketball is a lot more intense.  So I'm pretty bummed but I guess I just have to make up for it by eating even better than I am.

Since this blog is our story about our journey to getting "sexy" I thought I would share a funny story from the other night.  I DJ the youth dances at church and a girl from a different stake came up  and I thought she was going to request a song, but instead she asked me to dance!!!!  I didn't know what to say because she had made the trip from her group of friends all the way up to the stage and I felt really bad but I said " Uh...I'm married"  and she said surprised "YOUR MARRIED??!!" and I said " I have 2 daughters"  and so she turned red and ran away back to her friends.  It was pretty funny but also pretty awkward.   

David week 15...340.8 lbs. (-2.2 lbs.) Total Loss 35.8 lbs.

I did pretty good this week.  I had actually broken into the 330's about mid-week, but then the weekend came and I blew it.  Oh well, thats my goal for this week is to make sure I am at least 338

Nick Week Fourteen 323.4 {-6.4} Totoal Loss 37.6lbs

I know! I know! I know! Where have I been for the last few weeks. I have lots of excuses but I will not bore you with them. I do have to say sorry to all my loyal fans, who check the blog weekly and then they get nothing. I will be better. Shout out to Big Dave for doing so well at losing weight and also getting his blog on every week. If only we could all be that committed. I have not exercised much lately but have been working lots. The working lots has probably been the reason for the weight loss. I know that I need to get back to the gym. It is so hard taking that first step after not going for so long. You would think I would go since I am paying for it. I just like to know it is there if I want it. I get home from work so tired and then the thought of having to go work out when I feel like I have worked out all day just does not sound great. I Have to say Nicole suggests it often but I always have an excuse. I SUCK! Just do it dummy. I will, just shut up about it all ready. Sorry just a conversation I was having with myself. Well off to the gym, I mean to watch T.V. The gym will be there tomorrow.

David week 14... 343.0 lbs. (-3.4 lbs.) Total Loss 33.6 lbs.

YES!! Another 3 pounds down! (3.4 to be exact)  I'm feeling good even though I just had L&L Barbecue at my sisters house.  It wasn't my fault okay!!!  We went over there for dinner and thats what she brought.  I was actually pretty happy though because I haven't had L&L for a long time and I love that place.

I've been doing really well during the week during work because I pack my lunch and never buy lunch except for the occasional Togo's turkey on wheat.  My worst day is usually Sunday because we are usually just lounging around the house or we're with the rest of the family having a huge meal.  I'm doing better though.

Exercising is great because I really love it now.  I'm seeing improvements in all that I'm doing.  Riding my bike to and from work is cake now and I think i am actually building some muscle from lifting weights.  I'm also seeing improvement on the basketball court as well, so it's been fun.  Today Kenji said he thinks he's going to try to do a triathalon in August and it got me thinking that that would be a great goal for me to try in 2009.  So I think I'm going to shoot for it.  I guess I better start swimming.  Until next week....good day

David's Toes

Have you noticed how big the gap between Dave's big toe and his second toe. There is like a two inch gap between them. Then look at my little stubby toes my toes are much cuter.

David week 13...346.4 (-2.2 lbs.) Total Loss 30.2 lbs.

I did pretty well again this week.  I ate really well except for maybe Sunday because I have really been trying to do a true fast and go for 24 hrs. (or at least close).  So when I broke my fast I kind of over ate, but I busted my butt on Monday to work it off.   

I'm still riding my bike to work 3 times a week.  It's easier now so I really enjoy it.   I decided to put a current picture of myself on here.  It is seconds before I started typing this thanks to my built in cam on my new iMac.  SWEET!
