View CELAWLOR's food & exercise for this day
Weird. Last night I just didn't feel like drinking the wine. I love wine. We had a nice time and I stayed under calories.
We just got back from the gym. We had another fantastic two hour workout. We didn't eat enough for breakfast so we were both feeling pretty wiped out. Just finished lunch and I am feeling better already. I didn't even look at the hateful stationary bike today!!!
Today was check in day for me. I am down to 327.0. That feels great, emotionally. That is a 9 lb loss in about 26 days. I had planned to lose just 5 lbs in March, but I am going to kick it up to 10 lbs. What the hell! 317 by March 31 sounds pretty darned acheivable to me. Especially after a 4 lb loss this week.
Scott is concerned it is too much to lose 4 lbs in a week. I assured him that someone as large as I am can safetly lose that kind of weight as long as I wasn't starving myself--which I am DEFINITELY NOT. Might as well use my size to my benefit while I can, right? As long as I keep myself fed every couple of hours, with good food, and don't over-eat, my body will be perfectly fine burning those kinds of pounds for a few months. It will have no need to go into "starvation mode."
Once I am "only" 100 lbs overweight, I think I will start to see that weight loss number naturally slow down, anyway. That should be about early summer, by my calculations. Until then, I will probably see a higher weekly loss. I need something like 3700 calories a day to maintain my weight , without exercise. CK has me on 2000 calories right now, which any sturdy man could be sustained at. Do the math on that, throw in my exercise, and I think the weight loss is perfectly healthy at 3 - 4 lbs a week for now.
A nice thing happened this morning. I went to put on my sweat pants for the gym and, for the first time in a long time, they were not tight. They were just snug and comfortable. Yay!
I am going to buy a soft tape measure today so that I can start keeping track of my measurements. I know that will help keep me motivated when my weight loss starts to slow down.
It is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS outside today. I wish I had the time to enjoy it today. It is supposed to be like this tomorrow, too. I am going to go out and do some yard work tomorrow and let my skin get some sun! I love Spring.
Update: We had friends over for dinner again this evening and they just left. I went over on calories today. Not worried because of the above mentioned workout. I proabably should not have made the shakes. Too bad. It was YUMMY!
Scott and I have been going-going-going since 9:30 this morning. I think I am geting sick.
Good news is that we spent about two hours cutting up fresh veggies for salads and snacking. Our fridge is stocked with nothin' but the good stuff! And ready to eat, at that!
