Savannah Sunburn

I confess to being a little nervous in stepping on the scale this morning, since I spent the weekend in Savannah attending a wedding and over a three day period really wasn't following the "plan" but was in vacation mode—though I did imbibe less drinks and order lighter than I would have two months ago.

Plus side? We went to the beach on Tybee Island midday yesterday before heading home and I got in the ocean and didn't get out of the water for several hours. I swam out past the edge of the pier and back several times, body-surfed the waves, played with my daughter, and got a delightful sunburn. I'm sore this morning, but in a good way.

So back to that "stepping on the scale" part:

280.2 lb.

Weekly Loss: 2.2 lb.

Total Loss Since 8/17/2015: 13.0 lb.

Boom! While the loss of lard is less dramatic than the previous weigh-in, it's in the recommended 2-3 pounds lost per week range. I have no doubt that all that swimming yesterday played a significant role, and I need to keep up a higher level of activity to counter the fact that my job involves me sitting on my ass all day.

Thanks again for the encouragement and support. I'll post a picture of my sunburned self on social media later today when I've had a chance to clean up a bit. You might be able to see the difference!
