Wake up weight 162- Wow, I guess the tough love you guys showed me yesteday really worked. If I lose 4 pounds every time you guys verbally slap me around a bit, I may have to have you do it more often. Don't let me get complacent with this one day loss. I'm sure some of it is water weight.

2 really easy miles followed by 10 hill sprints for a total of 3.5 miles

Lower body weights

30 minutes stationary bike

3 easy miles down at the park by the lake. Some on grass, some on dirt, some on pavement.

Don't loose any more weight. You are nothing but skin and bone. 162 is for wusses. You need to weigh at least double that if you hope to make Richard Simmons your Face Book friend. You need to weigh at least triple that if you ever hope to meet Richard Simmons. Keep the dream. Remember, if you can't see it to aim it at the porcelain, you're well on your way.

Seriously proud of you but if you beat me I am going to kick your butt to China!

Nice one, Fly!!!

You're an animal, Rhett. Glad to see you're easing back into the running.

Now I need a good scolding. I ate chinese food last night and now I feel bloated and my stomach feels queazy. Funny how easily crappy food can make you feel ill after eating pretty healthy for a couple of weeks.

From Smooth on Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 15:26:46 from 63.228.197.20

Rhett ~ YOU ARE DOING AWESOME!!! Only 2 more lbs and still have 11 days to go. Hmmm, get ready to have Doone kick your b--- to China! :)

Fly ~ You cracked me up! The visual of Richard Simmons alone KILLS me!!!

Dale ~ Whoever says Chinese food is crappy! I know what you mean though sometimes when I eat greasy salty Chinese restaurant food for dinner, I'm all bloated the next morning. But it's sooo good, and the puffiness goes away pretty easily!

From DonGardinero on Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 17:53:51 from 75.162.166.27

Sorry Smooth, I guess I should re-word what I said about Chinese food. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Chinese food, in fact, it's my favorite!!! But the choices I made were crappy. Not the healthiest choices.

From fly on the Wall on Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 18:23:16 from 204.113.19.47

China is huge and probably has lots of different regional foods which probably do not resemble the fare at Dale's local Chinese Restaurant. But we digress, if you eat too much crap after eating healthy, you may suffer consequences. The obvious solution is to eat lots of crap every day so that your body can adapt. Adaptation can occur in many ways, most of which benefit the medical professions.

I'm totally rooting for you Rhett.

From Rhett on Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 19:06:33 from 216.67.221.157

Fly, you are cracking my up today.

Burt, you always crack me up.

Dale, make better choices at the China Buffet and you'll feel better, lots of rice and veggies. Stay away from the freid stuff. I love going out for Thai food with Doone and usually find something fairly healthy.

Smooth, thanks. I hope I don't wake up tomorrow back at 166.

From Kathie on Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 20:15:09 from 63.248.105.188

Good Job Rhett, How are you doing today?

From DonGardinero on Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 20:20:50 from 152.216.7.5

On the way to work today I noticed a new Thai food restaurant only a block away from work. I might stop by there for dinner.

From DonGardinero on Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 20:22:17 from 152.216.7.5

Yes, Fly, you're on a roll today. Cracking me up big time.

4 pounds?! I can lose that much just going to the bathroom. Are you sure you don't need any more abuse?

From Burt on Wed, Oct 27, 2010 at 11:42:26 from 68.225.214.248

Rhett, if you want to lose 30 lbs. of ugly fat quick, try chopping your head off!

From Doone on Wed, Oct 27, 2010 at 13:58:51 from 74.32.216.228

Burt - nice support (i will remember that):-)

Dale - I had never tried Thai food until about a year ago and I LOVE IT!!

Smooth and Kathie - I hope I win too. Today I woke up with 2 lbs. to go. Not looking good but I will try and fight to the finish.

Rhett - I made some goodies just for you today!! I love you.
