I was keeping count, just kept putting off writing the post. He will undoubtedly cross 3,300 next weekend. I am hearing conflicting reports on the closure of SWSA, from as early as April to as late as November. We're just kind of keeping watch and seeing what happens. The day it closes won't be so bad, it will be the next time we go to the park after that that will be tough...

Another week in which the numbers don't tell the whole story. Yes, I am disappointed that I only lost about a quarter of a pound this week. But...

Baseline: 301.9 Last Week: 283.3 This Week: 282.4 Change This Week: -0.9 Total Change: -19.5 Progress this week. Not quite a full pound, but losing nine tenths of a pound is surely a lot better than gaining weight. So, um, yay for me.

Pound a Week - Week 23

Baseline: 301.9
Two Weeks Ago: 283.2
This Week: 283.3
Change This Week: +0.1
Total Change: -18.6

This is a case where the numbers don't tell the real story. I didn't blog last week, and I came very close to giving up on my weight loss altogether. After getting sick over Christmas and losing some ground, I completely lost it in the first week of January. I ballooned up to 287 lbs, I felt awful, and I was ready to throw in the towel.

Pound a Week - Week 21

Baseline: 301.9 Last Week: 282.9 This Week: 283.2 Change This Week: +0.3 Total Change: -18.7 Ah, the best laid plans. My goal for the past two weeks over the holiday was to make up some ground and lose 3 pounds instead of 2. That didn't so much happen. I got sick towards the end of the first week, and even when I was feeling better I didn't think it would be wise to push my luck and get out and bike or skate and risk a relapse. By the time I was feeling fully recovered, Ben was here for the rest of the week and I didn't have any opportunities to really exercise. So this week I gained back some weight, which is a real bummer. Staying positive and looking forward, tomorrow things go back to normal and I'll be able to get back into a regular morning workout groove. Assuming I stay healthy I should start seeing progress again shortly.

About Shmoolok

The word "shmoolok" is a mashup of the longtime computer handles for my wife and myself ("Shmooby" and "Lokheed", respectively).

I originally created this website to be a place for my family to connect, but it has since grown into something a little different.

As for me -- I am a father, a husband, a son, a software developer, and a writer. On any given day I am not sure how good I am at any of those particular things, but I do try my best.

Thank you for visiting my website.
