The Saturday Evening Post
So today I did end up Gazelle-ing about miles in all. I ate much less calories than I normally do (about 1000) but I just could not bear the thought of all my hard work this week being for nothing at the very end.
So now all I have to do is start my “No Binge” streak tonight and I’ll be okay. For me to be “On-Track” as far as my desired plans, I need to weigh-in at 148 in the morning. I was below that about halfway through the week… about 147… but then I kept snacking and then of course last night’s complete binge.
Today we went car shopping in the afternoon for a second car and I was surprised how many places were not even open but we bought a 2004 Kia Optima for about 2000 less than it’s supposed book value. I like it. It is white and it has power everything plus lots of stupid extras that I loved like new tires and a new battery and lots of cup holders and a kick-ass Air Conditioning and even a CD player. It’ll make a fantastic second car I think. It has about 60,000 miles on it.
I was watching this show on VH1 today called “Smartest Model” and there is one guy who is normal-looking… like not fat or anything but because he is a model, his “belly” is holding him back and I completely sympathized because that is exactly the boat I am in…
I’m sure some people notice my “Goal Weight” of 140 and think that is awefully low for a dude. But if you have not read any of my previous entries, let me explain… that weight is the weight at which I have a very flat stomach and abs and everything. It is the difference between “normal okay dude weight” and “slimdude” weight.
Right now I am around 150 pounds and that is fine. I was 172 in 2006 and I started out on this site at 163. So 150 is great. But I don’t have abs and I do just look… let’s say… “fluffy”. How about that?
So that dude on the show is working to drop about 10-15 pounds and I am doing the same thing. It’s completely vanity weight. But it doesn’t mean it bothers me any less to look at pictures where I had abs and I was more “in-shape” than I am now. I want to get back there and I still believe I can.

We all have our goals for whatever reason! If we have been at our goal weight before we remember how we felt and what we looked like! You know your goal weight is when you looked and felt the best for you. I can remember how I looked and felt when I was at my goal weight and that is where I want to be again!
You will achieve your goal! You are doing great!
