BOOM!
And just like that....it's time again for my weekly weight assessment.
I actually have no witty, random comments going into my weigh in. Actually, I totally FORGOT to hop on the scale this morning. Ha! I was guzzling my o.j. and fixing a spinach salad, ready to head out the door when it just HIT ME...whoops.
Sooooooooo....without further ado....
BAM!
189.7 lbs.
I've DESTROYED the 190 pound threshold...just like I promised!! Another HUGE wall has been kicked down.
Yeah, yeah, I know...barely, right?
I'm down .5 pounds this week, bringing my 20+ week total to 30.3 TOTAL POUNDS EXPUNGED!!! Hoooooraaaay!
Not the mammoth weight loss I was hoping for....but every bit counts, especially in the summer! These happy hours, travels, BBQ's, and other sunshine driven plans are KILLING me! I just need to get to my 185 lb. goal already so I can just cut loose a bit.
My goal for this upcoming week again hovers in that "maintaining" category. Now that I've gotten below 190....it would be an absolute shame to climb above it.
I'm expecting another decent week from myself, and plan on doing WHATEVER IT TAKES* to succeed.
* - Aaaaand it all starts with Taco Tuesday at the Lincoln Park Pub after my Kickball League beings tonight!! eating greasy, sloppy, yummy $1.25 tacos should really "kick" off the week properly!
Until Thursday...enjoy your week and keep striving toward your goals!
BK out!

Boy v. Scale - Weekly Weigh In #20
Have you ever had the feeling that you did reeeeally well at something, like a test, or some project at work....and it ends up blowing up right in your face??
That's exactly how I feel right now! I was TOTALLY convinced I killed it this week. totally. convinced.
Outside of the Tribe game last Wednesday, and the debauchery that was my yearly Wine Run, I stuck to it. In theory, I was READY for the scale.
No more drama. Here we go. Weigh-In numero veinte:
190.2
No. You're not seeing things, and this blog is not set on repeat. I weighed in at the same level....TO THE TENTH OF A POUND. I mean, essentially to the OUNCE!
Weird, huh? (maybe i don't understand my new scale, haha? hmmmmm)
Sooooo, no huge deal. It's rare in this world that you can do NOTHING and still be a success.
I'm still down a total of 29.8 pounds, and my goal STILL REMAINS firmly rooted at 185. I'll get there, no worries. I'm a well oiled machine.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been a good boy this week. Healthy salads and fruit for lunch, mixing up varying versions of both. I purchased a stalk of celery over the weekend, so BK's had some veggie dipper action this week as well.
Nothing is going to trip me up this week. This is the week I FINALLY break into the 180's....aren't you excited for me loyal readers?? Haha, I'm fishing....
I do have another Tribe game to attend Thursday night. The M-E-T-S are in town, and I had a Tribe team shop voucher to redeem. Oh well, if the weather holds out, my date and I should have a blast....(and sneak down real close!)
Oh, oh, I almost forgot. I'm running my 2nd 5K this Saturday evening in Ohio City!! I'm nervous! My hammy has been acting up on me at the gym, so I'm resting it the rest of the week. I slipped in a great run on Monday....and then Tuesday...not so much. I'm scared, hold me.
Does anyone have any advice for this hammy cramp I've been getting?? Also, what the hell am I supposed to eat on race day?? I've been doing a little research...I dunno, should I just put my face in a plate of lasagna or something??
Help me out...and WISH me luck!!
Until the weekend, yours truly,
BK out

Man v. Scale - weigh in # 19
If you could define ITCHING to write a blog, the letters B and K would probably be involved.
I wanted to get this post out SOOOOOO much earlier, but alas, here it is. I started this at 9:00 am, and I'm wrapping it up at 9:00 pm (that's eastern standard time people).
So, like I commented last night, I felt CONFIDENT coming into my meeting with the scale this week. Oh, ooooh, I have a new scale too!! (damn thing took me 10 minutes to figure out....and I'm an I.T. guy).
So anyway, once I figured this contraption out, the fun ensued. And on to my new Taylor Lithium's inaugural reading:
In case you didn't just hear my second wind of elation, that reading says 190.2!! Beautiful first reading, sir!
So 190.2. That brings my TOTAL weight loss up to a mind blowing 29.8 pounds....just a shade under 30 TOTAL American pounds lost!!
Let me provide you a few examples of things that weigh 30 pounds...just for perspective:
A flat tire. Cue the spare tire jokes. Haha, I'm a proficient comedian.
How about this: roughly $500,000 worth of GOLD (46 of these bad boys). Yes, I'll take 1, thank you.
And finally, another example of 30 pounds:
Weeeeee!! So yes. I'm horsing around a bit. I'm having a little fun with this post today. But you know what?? I kinda deserve a little levity, right? Despite my flippant attitude today, these past 6 months have been QUITE the challenge. My unorthodox weight loss methods really seem to be working.
5.2 pounds to go friends!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In other news, I treated myself to a solid, semi-healthy quesadilla this evening. I grated up garlic cheese and pepper jack cheese that were purchased at the Tremont Farmer's Market last Tuesday.
There I go again, supporting the fine locals of Cleveland.
This week should be fairly tame, so I look forward to continued success!! Woo woo!!
The only thing that stands in my way, which I am gladly looking forward to, is the 2010 Second Annual Northeast Ohio Wine Run. My 4 friends and I are getting together to celebrate my buddy B.A.'s securing of an MBA. We're heading out to 8 Ohio wineries on Saturday....driving up the coast and ending at Mon Ami in Port Clinton!! haha.
And, no. I won't be drinking any Merlot.
Cheers.
