Still on the wagon!
July 2, 2008
It’s a little over three months since I first started to lose the excess bulk. I’m down 35 pounds – including 3.4 pounds this last week. My clothes are fitting better and I feel great. I did catch myself sliding back into the old self-damaging routine of fast food, but I put a stop to that.
I’ve hit the gym hard the last couple weeks and got a chance to catch up with my old trainer. On a depressing note, I learned that he has been recalled to marines and is being sent back to Iraq. He was working out in preparation of the training he will get before heading overseas. I wish him luck and hope he takes care of himself.
Waiting for the next weigh-in
April 14, 2008
Alright, I have my next weight-in tomorrow. Last week I lost no pounds. That’s right – goose egg. A little disappointing…but I was traveling and eating out of a hotel room. Before the diet I would have gained a couple pounds. So, I’ll take it as a moral victory.
To help accellerate things I started working out again. I think I should be back on track this week.
Something other than salad and sandwiches
April 3, 2008
For lunch I wanted something other than a salad or sandwich. I’d been living on them for about a week now. I found a restraunt and ordered a lunch that was 570 cal with 9 grams of fat. It included a salad, come cooked veggies and shrimp. It had some rice, but, I skipped the rice. I estimated about 3 grams of fiber because of all the veggies for a whopping 12 points. Still better than a whopper with cheese, x-large fries and a large coke. The combo meal would be about 30 points.
On the road weight-in
April 1, 2008
This week I’m traveling for work. There was a weight watchers meeting a couple blocks from where I am for the day. I joined a quick meeting and got weighted. I lost another 1.2 pounds. Not too shabby.
Watching what I eat while on the road can be difficult. So far, I’ve avoided the burger and fry joints. However, 3 taco bell tacos (fresco style) is only 9 points…so, I indulged for lunch.
Starting Weight: 385.4
This Week: 372.6
Difference: -1.2
Total: -12.8
