Been a month and a half since my last check-in, and as said, life has been crazy. However, I'm finally moved into my new apartment, settled in my new job, and getting into a routine. The routine so far is:

Every day: Breakfast of 2 large eggs (140 calories), 2 pieces of toast (80 calories), a piece of cheese (50 calories), some deli meat (usually about 30-40 calories), and some sriracha for a kick (10 calories). So that's around 300 calories for breakfast. Lunch is some soup; 200-400 calories depending on the type. Dinner varies; Mondays and Fridays I tend to visit my friends, who make a really tasty (and relatively healthy) South Beach dinner; so usually 300-400 calories. If I'm at home, I'll make myself some sandwiches (400 calories for 2) and maybe popcorn (100 calories).

Weekends go a little bit differently, but unless I'm drinking or going out, I tend to keep my calories in line. Sadly, I tend to go out at least once a weekend, so that's 6 good days and 1 bad

I've also restarted part of the P90X; trying to do "Ab Ripper X" three times a week. The first week KILLED me; the second was a lot easier and I managed all three days. This week, well, I'm sick. So hopefully I'll start on Wednesday I also am trying to lift weights a couple nights a week; having pretty good success with that. I've had a lot of success with walking several miles every weekday; it's just under 2 miles into work, and I walk for half an hour during my lunch break. So 5-6 miles each day. That makes me feel awesome, frankly.

So, despite the last month and a half being topsy-turvy, on Saturday I weighed in at 197 on a Publix industrial-grade scale. And that was with all my clothing and other items on. So I think I'm doing all right... not great, but all right. Hoping to settle down for the next month until Turkey Day; my goal is to be sub-190 by then.

We're flying to Hawaii for the wedding on Thanksgiving, so I'll be able to avoid any major feasting at least. Just airline peanuts.

Still 144.

Well, 145.4 fully dressed (except shoes) with wallet, keys etc. in pocket.

Yesterday I found a physician's scale at a job site, so I have no idea how well calibrated it is. Weighed myself at 150.x, fully dressed, shoes, sweatshirt, etc.

Gimmie those coupons...a large pizza in a day is nothing for me.

Define large pizza. Most slices around here are the size of entire pizzas elsewhere.

Elinda, I read that as *** manager. Asst. is I believe the proper abbreviation.

Well after Sandy and this Nor'easter, predicted to hit Wednesday, He may have to manage Asses to deliver the pizzas.

He could be Head Pimp for Domino's.

Does his uniform include a purple floppy brimmed, crushed velvet hat with an ostrich plume?

Back on the wagon. A month of excessive drinking, partying, being sick so no exercise, and not paying attention to anything I ate only netted me 3 lbs, so it could have been worse.

Today's lunch is leftover pork tenderloin and rice pilaf. Nom.

Been fluctuating between low to mid 180's. Haven't done any sort of exercising though, which I should, nor have I really started eating better, again I should. I just cut out some of the crap that I was eating. I imagine if I got off my lazy *** I would easily knock a stone off.
