 Prior Week Recap

02/19 - 120.4 - Got cast as Autolycus in Winter's Tale.  Heard back Wed. at like 4:30.

02/21 - 119.8 - Works for me.  Line loading has begun

02/22 - 119.6 - Sweet.  Still lines.   Went for a walk with Mark at Mercer

02/23 - 120.4 - Dr appointment.   Weight was higher there because I wore my boots.  He reminded me to build muscle.   Walk again at Mercer with Rowan

Week 80 + Prior Week Recap

 Prior Week Recap

02/12 - 120.0 - Today was supposed to be a walk but my stomach hurt this morning so not sure now.

02/13 - 120.2 - No walk today either.   Went out to dinner for early Valentines

02/14 - 120.2 - Valentines Day

02/15 - 119.6 - Cast Party today.   Possibly auditions either today or tomorrow.

02/16 - 119.6 - Had auditions last night.   Callbacks may be possible

02/17 - 120.0 - Haven't heard back yet.   If I do callbacks will be tomorrow.   Hoping to stay here or go back into the 119's for tomorrow.

Week 80 - 02/18

Weight this am - 120.0

Well, I'm officially there on weigh-in day now!   Just one more pound to hit an even 70 down.   Then I can look at slowly getting closer to the mid-teens...but no rush.  I'm absurdly happy to be where I am now.   I feel great.   
No info at all on callbacks so I guess that's not happening tonight.   I got my office back in order so now I need to actually go work on the ceiling.   I think I'm procrastinating because it's just a bit scary trying to fix it.

Week 79 + Prior Week Recap

Prior Week Recap

02/05 - 120.8 - Not a bad rebound at all.   I'll take it.   Phone call with Val tonight

02/06 - 119.4 - Holy Shit!   It finally happened.   I've hit my original goal!  It's been almost exactly 18 months since I started back on 8/7/24.    0.4 left until I hit 70lbs down and my focus can now shift to sculpting.    I'd like to end up closer to 115 but it'll be more about measurements and muscle tone now than scale victories.  

02/07 - 119.2 - This is fantastic.   I'd love it if this trend takes me to my final goal. 

02/08 - 119.4 - Absolutely fine with this.  Closing the show tonight

02/09 - 119.6 - It's still a teen.   I'll take it.   Now let it stay here for Wed.

02/10 - 120.0 - Creeping up.   Day in town today

Week 79 - 02/11

Weight this am - 120.4

Back up to last week but I did do over 10K steps yesterday and had a salty soup last night.   It's still close to 120 although I was hoping to keep the teens or at least not break the even number.   Oh well. 
Maybe next week.

Week 78 + Prior Week Recap

Prior Week Recap

01/29 - 122.6 - Still decent.   

01/30 - 123.0 - I expected this.  I ate salty, late and carby...and when I wasn't necessarily hungry.  Show opens tonight so we'll see how things go from here. 

01/31 - 121.4 - New Low!  Yes!  Show opened yesterday.   Went well.  

02/01 - 121.6 - Not bad at all.   Let's keep things going.  Completed Dry January yesterday

02/02 - 121.2 - New Low Again.  Was going to take the day off.  Now I'm not so sure.   

02/03 - 121.6 - Staying right here for tomorrow would be absolutely fine.   I'm absurdly tired this week

Week 77 - 02/04

Weight this am - 120.4 

Holy Crap.   I know it's a tease but hot damn - that's almost my original goal weight.   I'm cautiously optimistic now that February will be the month I hit my original goal.  I'm almost excited to see what next week brings.  I'd love to see a real end to the stall and a final push to get back under 120...which is where I was until I was over 40.
