197 lbs!!!... and today starts my official training

I write only to boast about this magnificent weight gain.  I typically hover in the mid to upper 180's and only when I surpass 190 do I really make an effort to knock it back down a bit.  But I must say, I've never sustained anything close to this.

This weekend however, I took it to a whole new level.  Wine, pizza, more wine and some more pizza.  The weigh in is real- I checked it a few times, tested the scale by holding something heavy enough to change the read out...It's legit.  I look fine and feel sort of fine, but am proud to say that "I won't take this lightly", no pun intended.

I set my alarm for very early as usual and snoozed for an hour, wasting away that precious time needed for an early morning workout.  I always feel adventurous about the next day when I'm setting my alarm but it never pans out.  But alas, I packed a gym bag capable of supplying three different types of workouts so we'll see what happens.  I hit traffic on the way to work and got here too late to feel like I've earned a lunchtime workout.  Maybe I'll pull something off.  

Regardless, watch over the next week as the pounds shed off of me like pulled pork.

I predict I'll be back at 189.9 lbs by this time next week.  A combo of a modified South Beach diet, aka North Beach, with some running and it'll all be fixed.
