PIE?!
Thursday, January 10th 2008
Okay... So I can't just "wing it" at dinner time. What the heck was that all about last night? Pie? I didn't even really want it! I kept thinking that Wednesday was a high calorie day and I missed my afternoon snack, so I need calories. Oh well.. even though the pie was nearly 1000 calories (which I think is a gross overestimate) I came right in at the totals I needed for the day.CK CRASHING! AGH!
Well - thanks to CK's site wigging out and my wife's computer crashing, I lost ...

Have I mentioned that my butt feels smaller? *laugh* I just noticed it yesterday. My belly is looking a bit less lumpy, too. This is SO COOL! This is the middle of week 5 ... At my Saturday weigh-in I was 10.5 lbs below my starting weight; and I am happy to say that I have no clue what my weight is right now. I just know that I'm on track.Attaching Emotion to The Plan, Not the Scale

Man... Without cardio, it is impossible for me to maintain a 30% calorie deficit. I've known this was true for a while, but nothing hit it home like Saturday night.My wife and I joined some friends for dinner. I didn't go "overboard" per-se, but with only 1750 calories to consume per day, I didn't have any wiggle room! I had to figure out how to eat 546 calories while being a sociable party guest.
For better or worse, I opted to take Saturday as a maintenance day instead o...

WOOHOO! I BROKE 240! That's the first 10 gone in 4 weeksWeekly Intake and the Results
I couldn't be happier with my progress. 10 lbs in 4 weeks. I've been doing some number crunching this morning and it looks like my net weekly calorie intake needs to be between 13000 and 13750 to be in a 30% deficit. 17500 is what I need to maintain my weight.
I went back to my CalorieKing charts to see my intake numbers for each of these 4 weeks. The results are very interesting!

Woot! I made it to my morning workout! This is the first day back since I've had the flu.There are two worries when you get sick right at the start of a new program. 1) You'll fall out of your food habits 2) You'll fall out of the habit with exercise.
I wasn't too concerned about the foods because I feel like I have a grip. To be honest, I've been chomping at the bit to go work out so much for the past day or two, I didn't think I'd have a worry there either; but lo and behold, when ...
