No change is good, Patronus, particularly given the stress levels you have been dealing with. Hoping that the air conditioning situation is resolved for you, and we see those numbers continue to go down!

Being of the same disposition, I can totally understand!

On the downward swing again!

It also helps that I have changed my weigh in day to the middle of the week. I have no trouble staying within my daily points if I have to during the week, but on Sunday nights and Mondays (my weekend), it's almost impossible. Plus, I'm not eating a lot of food the day before the weigh in.

So, if you ever find yourself in a plateau, this might be a great idea for you.

Exercise Tip from Jerby: The Biggest Loser Workout video. I never watched this show, but this video is incredible. The workouts are good for you whatever your body type--the trainer (who is VERY easy on the eyes) is great about telling you how to modify the routine if it's too much for where you are physically. He is great about reminding you about your form and what to be thinking about while doing a movement--which I have found to be more lacking in other vids. You can craft your own work out from the choices or follow a 6 week plan. It lets you alternate cardio and weights (hand weights). It's a nice combination of traditional aerobics and tai bo with aspects of pilates. And, I have noticed great change in just the first 2 weeks.

I'm probably going to check out this show next season. The contestants' changes are amazing. One guy went from morbidly obese to now having a six pack! And, that's inspiration if ever! I think a big problem with exercise and dieting is feeling like you'll never get there--that it's not even possible. Well, clearly it's possible. I'm knowing that just with the change in my body. It just takes TIME. And, thus, PATIENCE.

So keep it up!

Week 13:
Starting Weight: 221.5
Last Wednesday's Weight: 198
Today's Weight: 197

Still no air conditioning. My landlord is "taking bids" from different companies to replace it.

Ugh.

Fortunately it's been very cool out or else you would have seen news footage describing the aftermath of my rage.

I haven't felt like exercising a lot for fear that it'll get hot, but I have still been doing weights. Even though the weight hasn't been dropping at the pace that I'd like I am definitely noticing that things are getting tighter so that's a good thing.

Oh, I already have noticed a changed from the heat.

I went to Barnes and Noble last night and was FREEZING in there. I normally wear shorts in the winter.

Who knows? This air conditioning thing may help me save big bucks on my electricity bill this summer.

Ah, thanks! I love the Jack Bauer.

Note the new "signature" quote. I've become a huge fan of the cheesy Jack Bauer Chuck Norris joke rip-offs.

Not much good word here. The air's still out.

It is apparently going to be repaired this morning.

I've declared a state of eating right "embargo" until the air conditioning is working again. I've been drowning my sorrows in food.

I'm up a pound, but as soon as it's working I am back on the diet and excercising like a mad man.

Coleen_Lee, I went out and got a bunch of work-out tapes so I wouldn't use that as an excuse. It's been working pretty well though. If you ever work up the courage pilates helps alot. If your a singer it also makes you diaphram thingy stronger so I find belting a litter easier too!!!

My air is back on and as a result, so is my diet.

I'll pop in tomorrow with my normal weigh in.

Raise your hand if you think Patronus is looking dang hot!

I've always thought he was hot, but he just keeps getting hotter!

Too bad he's straight, huh?
And, for you ladies, he's married, too.
