Weighing My Options....

Just a quick update today, my friends: after all my stressing about my 2nd weigh-in (this morning instead of this past Saturday because the wife & I had dr. appts & the nutritionist & I couldn't co-ordinate before she left  for the day @2PM), I ended up losing a pound, plus a half-inch off my thighs & I dropped .5% of body-fat; not bad in the space of 9 days since my 1st official weigh-in last week--to review, since I started this journey last October (November, officially, as far as the exercise, change of diet, etc.), at my best I had dropped 30lbs in the 1st 6 months or so; since then, I've done the basic "plateau" thing after a couple more pounds dropped & a flirtation with the same 180-182 weight; not complaining, mind you, but as my wife would tell you, I've become too obsessed with weighing myself (we bought a scale awhile back, but to keep the peace, I had to tuck it away in my bedroom closet; my decision) & I get weighed occasionally @ my doctor's office, but the mrs. is right: I should only get weighed by the nutritionist every week & leave it at that (I weigh myself on my mother's scale in-between whenever I'm there as well)--bottom-line, I made a small amount of progress, & actually, the nutritionist says that especially in the beginning, a half-pound to a pound lost each week is good & as long as you chip away @ the body-fat, so to speak, on a consistent basis, you'll be successful there as well--learning to refine my diet even more & keeping my food journal religiously; she was happier with more of my meal & snack choices & combos, still giving me lots of notes, suggestions & reminders--I'm still on the right track & intend to stay there; I stumble here & there & end up not happy with certain choices or certain eating days, but it will all even out--this is still the most I've done healthwise, all-around, probably in my entire life (even finally bought myself a bicycle pump yesterday, so I can pick up riding the bike on a more regular basis); in fact, about to take a quick ride to end the nite & probably total-up over 2 miles just since I got it, so, on that note, Good Nite :)
