Brother came home.... Speech.... Stage managing a play....
I'm really busy and getting ready to leave work for the day, but here's an abbreviated post....
My brother came home Thursday night from Iraq. He was shocked by my weightloss, I think. He knew I was losing, but didn't know how much. They showed the 'reunion' on the 10pm news (he came in at 8:40pm, so they did some quick work!)
My speech went really well Friday at Mercy. They had me listed on the itinerary as Dave Peterson! haha Oh well. I think I had a good story to share and people seemed interested despite it being the end of the day on a Friday! Some people were leaving during each speech, but most stayed.
I got a call the other day asking me to stage manage a show for Theater for a Change. Mike Pace, the Iowa Lottery guy, is in the show. It's Neil Simon's The Sunshine Boys. I've never stage managed, so this will be new to me! Yikes! I'm going to be so busy. :(
Workouts are going as good as ever....

Workouts, busy, etc....
Been too busy at work to post. I don't have internet at home other than on my iPhone, but it's a bit cumbersome posting a blog using that!
The workouts have been pretty much the same. Been incorporating a bit of the treadmill into the workout to switch things up a bit. No running, though, just fast walking.
My trainer finally got back from vacation, so that's good. She said being gone for a while and coming back she really notices the difference in my face and my body. That's cool. :) I've REALLY noticed it a lot in my face lately.
Man, I need new clothes bad, but A) I'm broke and B) I don't want to buy a lot now and have to get more again 38 pounds from now, ya know?
Anyway, still waiting to hear back from my brother when he'll be home. Supposed to be very soon (like this week maybe).
My Mercy speech is this Friday. My trainer may use my digital camcorder and may tape it for me.

Today's workout....
So today we had 'The Big Game' that I spoke of yesterday.
Before the game, I warmed up by shooting baskets and doing some dribbling drills to get the cardio up.
The teams, if you remember, were guys vs. girls. They outnumbered us by 4 women to 3 men. We guys ended up winning by a couple. We got a great workout! We played full court! I took an elbow to the ribs at one point. I was guarding one of the women and she threw an elbow and NAILED me. It took me a moment to catch my breath. Let's just say she hated it when anybody guarded her! Fun game all around, though. Our timeouts were sponsored by Centrum Silver, Ben-Gay, and Geritol!
After the game, I hit the weights on my own since my trainer is still on vacation. I almost called it quits after the game -- I actually headed back to the locker room -- but figured I was just cheating myself if I didn't lift today. I figure I have to start doing it on my own sooner or later as I won't have a trainer soon!

Last night's weigh-in....
So I weighed-in last night, it being Thursday and all. I lost 2 pounds this last week.
I know that they're good numbers and that I'm probably plateauing, but it's just weird to be working out more than ever but pulling smaller numbers. I'm not getting discouraged or disheartened at all. I'm still quite proud of the numbers, just logic says to me that I should be losing more. But with my new boody-sculpting class, I'm probably adding more muscle, which weighs more than fat.
I'm now down to 238.5. I'm now down 77.5 pounds since the end of September! Someone overheard me talking to someone else about it today in the locker room, and he was highly impressed. I'm so proud to know that I've done it through simple, old-fashioned hard work and eating healthy.

Tomorrow's workout.... (funny!)
So since my trainer is on vacation, we have nobody to fill in tomorrow.
Recently before class one day I was shooting baskets and joking around that we needed to play basketball one day for class. Well, when we found out my trainer would be gone this Friday we decided to play men vs. women in a basketball game.
Now, see, my class is made up of me and people in their 40's, 50's, and 60's (mostly 50's and 60's). It's so funny, because we keep talking trash between the 'teams' -- of course jokingly. I keep threatening to call Channel 13 and have them come shoot the game for the Move It Challenge segment.
Now watch, as much trash as I've been talking, I'll end up spraining an ankle or something tomorrow!
Stay tuned for a funny report on the game for tomorrow!
