A bit of Chili humor

I found this quite amusing for some reason.

Did I mention I picked up some hot sauces this weekend? One's a fairly flavorful chili-pepper based concoction. The other is jalapenos and habaneros. It'll open up your sinuses.

The Weekend Was SoSo

The weekend was somewhat difficult as we traveled. Perhaps the toughest part might have been the dinner on Sat. It was good but there wasn't enough of it. My in-laws are trying WW's core plan. The meal they had was good. It was a bourbon glazed pork tenderloin, asparagus and french-fried sweet potatoes. I'm ok with asparagus, although it's not my favorite. The same could be said with sweet potato french fries. The tenderloin rocked though. The problem is there wasn't enough of it.

Today wasn't so good either. The wife and I were both hungry so we both elected to stop and then ate too much. I think the crucial error was when we ordered the cheese fries. The steak was ok. I didn't eat all of it. The saled was good as were the mixed vegies I got with the steak. I also, naturally, drank too much soda. I could've done better, but I've also done a lot worse.

I picked up some good hot sauces though. They have a wee bit of burn. I'll go more into those later though.

A good night tonight...

My first full week at WW and I lost 8.2 pounds. I'm now down to 394. Things went well. I hope I can maintain.

The weigh in...

Tonight I'm weighing early. My week has been soso. Hopefully things have gone well. Wish me luck.

Things are going ok today

Things are going ok today. I'm staying on track so far although I don't know what the points are for supper this evening. Mimi's got a salad of some kind planned and it sounds good.

Also, tomorrow will be my homemade chicken noodle soup. I think it will be mighty tasty. I might actually write the recipe down if I take the time to do it and measure it a bit.

A trying weekend

This was the first weekend of the diet and things haven't gone as well as they could. While I did have some activity in the last couple of days, I don't know that it was enough to balance what I did. The thing I will need to be careful of is to be good the rest of the week. I've got a long way to go but I WILL get there.

My First Weight Loss Post

The blog is called Big John's Blog and the title is aptly named. I'm 6'3" and attended my first returning Weight Watchers meeting today. I got on the scale and I weight 402 lbs. It's quite large and something I'm not particularly proud of because I'm letting my demons beat me.

On this blog I'll talk about the weight loss, recipes, my activities and other things. I can't say I'll post every day but I will try. Tomorrow starts the official dieting kick off. I plan to succeed.

This is all I'm doing tonight. I will add links to other sights to help folks figure points and all kind of other things for their dieting. I will try to upload some pictures as we go too.

For anyone who reads this, please comment your thoughts or just a few kind words of support. I will try to do the same for you if you request it. Wish me luck.
