View CELAWLOR's food & exercise for this day
Just got back from the gym. The weight training was a little toned down today, and we were running a little behind schedule. It was a good workout, though.
I am down 2.25 lbs for the week. I was expecting something a little higher. I seem to be steadily losing 1/4 lb a day. That is a good rate, I think. I'm going to try my hardest to maintain that loss rate until I get under 300 lbs.
While on the treadmill, I was thinking about how nice it would be if I could get under 300 lbs for my 30th birthday in May. At a 1/4 lb a day loss, I will only make it to 308.25 by my birthday. If I can just lose 3.25 lbs per week until then, I can do it. I think that is a good short-term challenge for myself. That would be a 36 lb loss in just over 3 months. A little high, I admit, but I do weigh quite a lot!
Don't know what we are going to do this weekend except take it easy and get the house cleaning done. I was going to work out in the yard but it is already 82 degrees and I swear the humidity is at like 99%!!! It is horrible out there! Maybe I'll shoot for some yard work tomorrow morning???
Update: Oh my. We just had one of our favorite desserts: something I refer to as the raspberry orgasm. I had two servings. I need to change the name now to a raspberry stomach ache....oh, what a sad, sad day. Even my raspberry orgasm is too sweet now.
I decided to start going through some old clothes that I had "outgrown" over the years. I tried on all my shorts. Three pair had to be relgated to the fat clothes pile, and seven others either fit snugly or a little tight. That is good news, really. It means I won't have to buy new shorts for a while. I am going to go through some other clothes this weekend and get a feel for what I have to wear in the coming months and what I can get altered to hold me over until I feel compelled to buy new clothes. I think my existing wardrobe will be able to tie me over until late summer, by my estimates. Since it is like summer all year here, I can shop the clearance racks in August/September and get some good deals!
