Good morning, all you beautiful Internet people out there. My bedhead and I are wondering why the hell we put so many things on our morning To Do list before coffee. That seems like some poor planning. But we’ve managed to do alright so far.
Breakfast
I had a hydro workout at 9am, so I went with a quick breakfast. Oatmeal with brown sugar and cinnamon, banana on top, and a sprinkle of the Seed Mix I got at Woolies. The seeds were 1 point, everything else was zero.
Lunch
Ended up at Puddle Cafe this afternoon for coffee and a crumpet. The flat white with skim milk and a shot of vanilla was 3 points, the crumpet was 3 points, the haloumi was 3 points, and the spinach and egg were zero points, so 9 points for the meal, brining my total for the day to 10 points.
Dinner
The hamburger is 11 points, the chips were 6 points, for a total of 17 points for the meal, and 27 points for the day.
I'm a fat, middle-aged white guy who's trying to lose weight. A LOT of weight. My goal is to lose 200 pounds. I was born in 1968 and I grew up in East and Southeast Texas After graduating high school in 1987, I went to the University of Houston and then Lamar University. In 1994 I shoved my life into a suitcase and moved to Australia. I was married in 1998, and my wife andI have 3 children (all boys) aged 19, 16, and 10. We lived in Canberra (the national capital) from 2001 until 2016, and now we're in Brisbane, Queensland. I'm a librarian by profession but currently living as a stay-at-home dad and a Gentleman of Leisure (I sometimes describe myself as temporarily retired).
I've been overweight since puberty, and gradually went from 200lbs in 1988 to 250lbs by 1998, and then to 300 a decade later, and over 400 lbs by 2011, when I first joined Weight Watchers. I lost about 100 lbs in 6 months, then quit, and then my weight bounced around between 330 and 375 for several years after that. I joined Weight Watchers again in May 2017, and discovered that I was back up over 400. So now I'm trying as hard as I can to lose over 200 pounds and get back under 200, and preferably to 186 lbs, my weight when I graduated high school.
