Train to Lose, Week Two
We had our 2nd week weigh-in last night. Last night’s weigh-in was the last freebie. Starting next Friday night, we’ll lose one person per week.
Craig, I have sobering news. Last night, if it had been “for real,” we would have lost Vaughn.
The men’s team lost. Poor red team. Stupid blue team kicked our butts last night.
Okay, not really. They beat us by 0.15%. As I pointed out immediately, earning a sad head shake from a few and laughs from others who knew I was right, that’s just one good trip to the bathroom. We’ll beat them next week.
To be honest, I kind of wish we were on teams of mixed gender. I am not one of these guys who are insisting, “Women can’t win this! Men must!”
No, I am only saying that because they divided us by gender, and MY team must win. That’s the only reason. I could be the only guy among four females, and I’d still be saying the same thing.
Anyway, for my results… I weighed in at 339.0, which is a loss of 1.6 pounds! I am honestly thrilled with this.
I don’t remember everyone’s results, but I do know that we had only one gain, and that was Daniel, who gained 0.4 pounds. Last week, he lost 17 plus pounds, so a gain of 0.4 isn’t too bad.
I am, unfortunately, currently ranked fifth. I’m not worried about it. I still have time to pull ahead. I’m just reminded of the winner of the first Train to Lose, who was NEVER in the lead until the last week.

This Friday, the team with the lowest percentage will lose a member with the lowest percentage. One thing that I do like is that the percentage is from the beginning and not the week before.
My trainer is urging me to go a little easier on the cardio, and he really stressed one rest day a week. I’ve decided to follow his advice, and I’m going to take today as my rest day. For a few days, I’m going to limit my cardio to 2 hours a day. I’ll just see if it really does make a difference.
Today is an easy day to take a day of rest for one big, snowy reason.
Snow Day!
We finally have snow! And for south central Kentucky, this is a decent snow! We currently have about six inches of the stuff on the ground, which for us, is HUGE. This is a city that sometimes shuts down at the mere mention of snow. This is a lot. I’m not housebound by any means, I do have a four-wheel drive, but it’s just nice to stay in.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Enjoy the snow!
You call it snow, I call it dust!
Congrats on your weigh-in!
It is funny how some love the snow and others hate it. I am one of the latter. Winter here lasts 6 miserable months and there is always so much snow. Plus, -25 to -40 Celsius is a normal temperature for us during winter. Awful!
Congrats on your loss. Keep it the great work. Can’t wait to here next weeks update.
@Andrew – We are! We tried to make a snowman, but it’s not the right type.
@Erin – How much snow do you normally get? This is HUGE for us. Our heavy snows are like 2″. This is more like six.
@Karyn – I can’t even imagine temperatures that low. I guess if I lived where snow was a standard and not a special event, it wouldn’t be as special for me, either.
Oh no, Vaughn! Please tell him to pick it up a notch. He has a fan club, geez!
Congrats on the loss…can’t wait to see the next video!
We got some ice/snow but not as much as yall. I’m so jealous!
Several of the guys are hoping to lose double digits this week. (I’m one of them.) We’ll see. If nothing else, we’re hoping to lose enough that we can keep Vaughn safe that way.
Of course, I hate to lose Deanna or Patrina, too.
