Friday was day 50 of my Nutrisystem adventure so I wanted to give you guys a brief update:
I AM FREAKIN’ STARVING!!!!
No, not really. So far, I have lost 38 pounds. This number might be a little inflated since when Missy told me my Nutrisystem box had arrived, I ate really big that day since it was my last day before starting the diet. So when I stepped on the scale the first day the number might have been a few pounds more than it may have otherwise been. But 38 pounds is close enough so let’s just go with that.
Let me give you guys some stats:
4/19/2007: 283.5 lbs.
4/19/2007: Pant’s waist size: A very tight 40”
6/10/2007: 245.5 lbs.
6/10/2007: Pant’s waist size: A comfortable fitting 38”
Weight listed on Adam’s Drivers License: 230 lbs
# of days until we go to the beach: 56
Here is my weight loss chart:

The hardest part about losing weight is the mind and body working against each other. Sometimes I imagine my mind and body having conversations with each other:
4/20/2007 (DAY 2)
Body: Hey, what’s going on up there?!!!
Mind: We are on a diet. We are entirely too fat.
Body: What?!!! Don’t think of it as fat, think of it as energy reserves in case we decide to hibernate. We are a mammal, you know?!!
Mind: Two things wrong with that. Number one: It’s April and Number two: According to my calculations we have enough “energy reserves” for about a 1500-day hibernation.
Body: Hey, it’s winter somewhere in the world and have you ever heard perhaps of Rip Van Winkle? READ YOUR BIBLE!!!
5/13/2007 (DAY 25)
Mind: Hey Body, what have you been up to lately?
Body: Oh nothing. Why?
Mind: No really, what are you doing down there?
Body: Nothing, just some minor adjustments on our energy consumption. Why do you ask?
Mind: Well, we are sleeping 14 hours a day, we are always tired and we haven’t lost a pound all week.
Body: Oh, you noticed that, huh? Is there a problem?
5/14/2007 (DAY 26)
Body: Hey, what are we doing now?
Mind: We are taking the girls for a walk around the neighborhood.
Body: Why would we do that?
Mind: Just trying to boost our energy levels.
Body: But then we will expend more of our reserves!!!!
Mind: That is the point.
Body: Oh yeah. When will it be our turn to ride in the little red push-car?
To Be Continued...

Very funny! Except I don't think Rip Van Winkle was in the Bible the last time I looked! I think you meant Washington Irving! Anyway, congrats again on your weight loss!! Love, Mom.
For the record, I know that Rip Van Winkle is not in the Bible. That was part of the joke. Perhaps we need to review one of my previous posts, "Genius, Thy Name is Adam".
Of course Rip Van Winkle wasn't in the Bible. I'm pretty sure, however, that Rip Taylor was.
Glad to see that the Nutrisystem is working for you. Keep it up (down)!
Thank you for bringing such nice posts. Your blog is always fascinating to read.
