Year 2 Week 26 Day 1

What a difference a week makes.

The new plan is in effect, the mix of diet focus and money concerns combine for a more frugal overall outlook.

I also looked at the live blog and altered the format slightly.

As a final motivator, I have photos of me at 310 lbs that I will post if I don't manage to get to 250 by Year 3 Week 25 so let's all hope I make it because no one wants those photos in public.

Here are the numbers:

Weights and Measures:
	Weight	Blood P.	Hips	Gut	Chest	Neck	Pulse
End Goal	200.00	110/70	38.00	36.00	42.00	16.00	60.00
Last Week	310.60	137/87	48.00	53.75	55.50	19.00	77.00
This Week	300.40	142/95	47.25	53.50	54.75	18.50	77.00
Change	(10.20)	+5/+8	(0.75)	(0.25)	(0.75)	(0.50)	-
To Goal:	(100.40)	-32/-25	(9.25)	(17.50)	(12.75)	(2.50)	(17.00)

Big drop this week in pounds, still a little over a hundred to lose in two years and fifty one weeks. The goal for next week is 299.4 lbs. Not thrilled with the BP but I'll blame it on the weather. Trimmed back the measures because other than me, I don't think most people notice wrist or ankle widths. Everybody loves hips, gut and chest though and neck is still favored over number of chins.

Some of these results can be explained by:

I'm going to change the Bike to just 5 with no AM/PM distinctions, but otherwise a positive trend. It's been HOT so walking to the mailbox after work is crazy. Gotta try harder to walk on a Sat and Sun morning though. I've gotten all the way to the intro scenes on the Pilates DVD so I am close to actually trying it.

I'll save the financials for next week but the debt went up a little bit because the credit cards closed and posted finance charges but most of the payments aren't due until next month. The actual to budget for June will be bad because most of the changes won't be felt until July's results are run.

Otherwise I have been trying to convince myself that I can afford to keep cable, but the numbers just aren't there.

So focus for the week is getting in the aerobics and checking the automatic payments to correct for credit cards that are being closed. It's going to be a tight two weeks.
