It's a New Phil, Week 51
Out with the Old, in with the New
No weigh-in, official or otherwise, this week. I'm giving myself a few days to recover from the last couple of weeks. I find that my New Year's resolutions have more to do with exercise than diet. The sledgehammer workout is starting to take shape, and I want to achieve some very specific things with it in 2007. I also want to put a fair number of miles on my bicycle.
But we'll get into those specifics later. Meanwhile. Here's my 2006 story in a nutshell. One side shows me in late '05; the other side was snapped a couple of weeks ago.
Sadly, as I have noted in the past, that image on the left shows me quite a few pounds shy of the all-time high water mark. But I think that's pretty much what I looked like at 297, where this whole thing started.
UPDATE: I forgot that I had a doctor's appointment yesterday (post-surgery checkup) so there was an official weigh-in after all. Up a distressing seven pounds, putting me back at 234 for a total weight loss of 63 pounds. Dr. Harris told me not to sweat it, likening a weight loss program to an airplane's autopilot. You're never really on course with autopilot, he explained. The airplane makes a continuous series of adjustments.
So let the post-holiday adjustment begin!

I was on vacation during week 21 and did not post an entry, but thanks for noticing the blank space!
No entry for week 41.
