It's been a while.

Okay, I've been remiss in posting this last month or so.  Sorry.. I don't think many people are reading this anyway, so no big deal.  I went on my cruise to Cozumel, Grand Cayman Islands and Jamaica.  The cruise was fun, the food was great.  'nuff said about that.

Then I've been non-stop with my tv/movie stuff.  I was on or will be on, The Night Shift, Manhattan, Tina Fey's new movie (Title tentatively "Party House or Taliban Shuffle or 4-10-4"), A pilot for a TV show with Wesley Snipes called "End Game", A movie with Alex Skargard called "A War on Everyone". Another movie called "The Redemeers".  Plus I'm now booked for 2 1/2 weeks for Independence Day 2 (starts next week).. Busy busy busy.  BTW all these projects shoot in and around Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

Ok, so here we go.  After 36 weeks, I've lost 1/2 of my goal.  I'm down 70.9 pounds, with 70.6 pounds to go!  Things are going slowly, but I have to admit, I'm not as strict on my diet as I was when I began.  I'm allowing more carbs in my diet which is slowing my weight loss.

It's raining outside today, so no pictures of me.

Enjoy this shot of me with Brendan Fuhr and Eoin Macken of the Night Shift.  I'm the guy in the yellow blanket.  I played broken leg guy.  It was Season 2: Episode 8.

I made my prime time debut last night on NBC's "The Night Shift".. That blur coming through the emergency room door that talks to the security guard is me!!  I'm wearing the plaid shirt and jeans.  This was episode 4, I have a close-up part in episode 8!  This was shot in January.

Week 30

Week 30 - I lost another 1.7 pounds!  I'm just 1/2 pound short of 70 pounds lost.  I'm averaging 2.3 pounds a week. That's good, right?

If anyone is interested, I may be shown (as an extra) in tomorrow night's "The Night Shift" on NBC. (March 16, 2015).  I come in through the emergency room door and talk to a security guard.  While talking to the security guard, EMT's come in with a patient on a gurney and then a lady comes in with a service dog.  I don't remember what I was wearing and I'll probably just be a blur, but it's me!  I'll try to capture it, and post it.

Until next week...

Week 29

Week 29 - It's been a few weeks since a post.  Did you miss me?

I haven't lost weight during those weeks, in fact I gained weight,  and didn't feel a need to post.  I was getting disappointed and discouraged.  But I trudged on.  I'm glad to report that I'm back and have lost more weight!  I'm at my lowest weight since starting this journey.  That's great news!

I have lost 4.3 pounds since last week with total of 67.8 pounds lost in 29 weeks!  That's encouraging.   I'm going on a cruise at the end of March and wanted to get down to 240 before the cruise. I'm not sure that's going to happen.  We'll see.

Onward.. Until Next week!

Week 26

Week 26 - I didn't post last week because I gained .2 of a pound.  So, no news there. I didn't even take pictures.  This week I gained another .6 of a pound. Again, not much to write home about, but I couldn't let another week go without posting something.   I didn't want the ones of peoples who actually read this blog to worry about me. LOL.  So I posted this week.

So, what's going on?  I DON'T know!!  I did have 1 cheat day.  But I didn't over do it.  It was days ago.  I've started walking everyday with my dogs, so I'm getting more exercise.  I'm just scratching my head.  I'm a little bummed, but not discouraged.

I'm going on a cruise to Cozumel, Jamaica and the Caymen Islands at the end of March. I want to lose more weight before that.

It's onward and downward I hope.

Until Next Week...

Week 24

Week 24 - It was a great week. I lost 2.7 lbs for a grand total of 66 pounds, All this is 6 months. I am averaging 2.8 lbs a week.  I'm really pleased with the results. Of course, I'd like it to be faster, but I think my results are very good.

Tomorrow I'm going to the set of a new Tina Fey movie where I'll be playing a Embassy Guest.  The movie is filming in New Mexico. Hopefully I'll be able to see Tina. I LOVE HERE.

It's Superbowl Sunday. I made a lot of Low-Carb food for today.  Just because it's a holiday or special day doesn't mean I can blow the diet!  I'm having Chorizo Stuffed Jalapeno's, Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts, Bacon Deviled Eggs, and a cheese and vegetable plate with Ranch and Chipolte Ranch Dips.

Until next week...

Week 23

Week 23 - I'm a day late posting my weekly post.  I was in Roswell, NM to find little gray alien guys.  I went to the UFO museum there.  I was pleasantly surprised how well done and informative the museum was.  I expected a cheesy small tourist trap.  It only cost $5.00 to get in, so we said, 'what the heck'.  I'm glad we did. If you ever find yourself in Roswell, NM and are even just mildly interested in UFO's, stop at this place.

Ok, onto the weight.  I lost another 1.2 pounds! woohoo!  After last week's slight gain, I was really happy to see a loss this week. It's slow, but it's a loss.

I just booked a cruise yesterday for the end of March! I have a new incentive to loss more weight. I've got to get my cruise body ready to go. (LOL!).  We're leaving from New Orleans and going to Cozumel, Mexico, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands.   We're spending 4 days in New Orleans before the cruise. It should be a blast!

As always, leave a comment.  Until next week!

-Untill Next Week.

Week 21

Week 21 - I didn't get a chance to post last week. I hope you didn't miss me. My son came into town from the Navy.  We celebrated the holidays a week late so he could be here and enjoy Christmas with us.  So, when I got on the scale today, I was happy.  I've finally broken into the 250's. and broke the 60 pounds lost mark.  I am almost 1/2 way to my goal of 140 pounds lost.  I've averaged 3 pounds lost a week for a total of 62.8 pounds in 21 weeks. I'm pleased.

Until Next week...
