The mantra is "one week, one pound."
Last week was 321.2 and this Monday morning was 322.4 pounds. That's a 1.2 pound increase and that is not so awesome! Next week's goal in the ever present one week, one pound is 313.2 so we'll see if I can catch up in time to enjoy a mostly worry-free Christmas. That's looking as likely as an Atlanta Falcons play-off run now, but keep hope alive.
I am hitting an interesting series of problems. I am sure everyone else is familiar with the highs and lows of extreme dieting. I am betting if I'd stick with the all liquid thing it would go one way and if I went back to a more balanced eating schedule it would go the other way but I am suffering from both. I have really disgustingly loose and oily stools that make farting way too dangerous. In fact even a good urine stream could result in some slippage so I am squatting to pee most of the time. So I am looking at a fiber supplement this week.
My weekend eating is bad mostly because with the weather and my lacking social calendar means I sit at home and eat even if I'm not hungry. That and I nap a lot which burns a lot less calories than any other kind of exercise. Bad choices dining out are entirely personal and predicated on the idea that why would I pay to eat something that I don't think I want to eat. If I am paying twenty five bucks I want the tasty cheese sticks and the greasy Reuben sandwich with fries not a grilled chicken salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing and a glass of water.
And while I get into the groove of exercising on a Monday-Friday basis I find my physical activity level decreases dramatically on Saturday and Sunday. That 's bad for two reasons at least. One I have a fairly low activity level in general and two I am eating more on those two days so that's really taking the calorie intake versus calories burned in the wrong direction.
So things are progressing, this week through regression, and it's easy to lose focus. This is the half way point (looking at a full year as a complete point) and this is a big change from where I started on Week 1 Day 1.
New measurements this week so await with bated breath.
Later.
