This has really bummed me out. It was nice knowing somebody was doing well with their weightloss. You’re a really decent poster and I do hope you reconsider your decision. If you do go I wish you all the best in life.
Obviously ditto. I hope you keep posting.
I’m still hitting you up if I’m ever in whatever state in New England you’re in. It’s going to be even weirder when some internet dude who you haven’t even been online with for years shows up.
I did hang out with Bluefeet in Michigan I think at least a couple years after he stopped posting on 2p2.
So apparently I cannot manage to maintain healthy habits without daily logging and posting. Therefore I’m back, and hope you’re all still interested and willing to help support my efforts. I’m going to start logging tomorrow and will get a weight check on Friday morning.

Need to get back on the rowing machine, as I haven’t rowed since Nov 8th. I’m not sure if I should pick up the PPB where I left off, or maybe do some random rows for a week or two and then try to jump back into it. I guess another option is to start back at week 1.

So I managed to log one day and then fall right back off it. And I also managed to let another week go by without getting back on the rowing machine. I am truly terrible with getting habits established, and also fall off too easily when my routine gets broken. But for whatever reason when I am in a groove I can execute well at least for months at a time. Not sure what any of this means, but it’s been a consistent pattern with me forever.
Anyway, one day at a time. Today I will eat well, log, row and post to this log. And then start stringing some days together so I form the habit again.

An easy 20 minutes on the rowing machine. On Tuesday I’ll find my heart rate strap and try 30 minutes with a target heart rate around 150, see how I feel, and then decide how to proceed with the Pete Plan. (Either start over from week 1, or try to pick up where I left off.)
What’s happening?
Off and on, off and on. Can’t get traction. Lot of personal stuff atm that has totally screwed up my routine, but of course if I had enough WIM that wouldn’t matter.
Yeah that’s easy to say, much harder to do. Otherwise none of us would have gained all this weight in the first place.
You already know this but possibly continuing logging even the bad days will keep them from being so bad. That’s my experience anyway.

Fuck, that cut off at “but one thing…” …? I was beginning to hate myself. What did the other guy say???

Goat Movie… might’ve been Goslings 1st
He was about to say, “But, one thing, how can you say/ believe this when you yourself are a Jew?”
“Excuse me?”
“Do you know a Rabbi Stanley Nadelman? - He was at the Congregation Ohev Zedek.”
“Who? How would l know him?”
“He said you were bar mitzvahed there in March of… .”
It would certainly help and I’ve made a decision to start again several times and made it one day each time. I’m now failing with machine like precision.
I don’t want to get into a big boo hoo wah is me thing, but we’ve had a recent death and a few serious health issues with our (me and wife) parents and we’ve been traveling for a funeral and to help make assisted living arrangements/sell house and staying at my mom’s bedside all night several times because hospice thought she wouldn’t make it through night, etc. No easy way to plan and certainly no time or means to prepare meals ahead of time. Traveling again for a week the day after xmas.
Anyway, all that said I could still make better meal choices and drink a lot less alcohol.

Yeah definitely don’t worry too much about diet. Just get yourself through as best as you can. Although speaking from experience I had to force myself to eat well when my mum was so sick otherwise I probably would have fallen apart and been no help. It gave me some semblance of normalacy and with the body being so stressed it really needed those extra nutrients etc. Take care of yourself.
