It's Monday night and I'm regretting eating out every meal this weekend. Every single meal was either at a restaurant or the hotel's continental breakfast. I ate pizza, fries, french dips, and lots of diet coke. I felt gross. Just gross. There wasn't a lot I could do about it though. We were cleaning out my grandma's house and we couldn't use the kitchen because it was getting packed up too.
I tried really hard to make the best of a bad situation and order a reasonably healthy option at every opportunity. I had a few salads rather than fries. I had chicken instead of burgers. I even skipped out on a chance to have a Dairy Queen blizzard. I feel like I exercised a lot of self-restraint, but I wasn't sure if it would be enough.
Let's take a look at how I did.
YUSSS!!! I lost 3.9 pounds this week! That makes 32.9 pounds total. I'm still on a bit of a bump from being sick, but I'm headed back down.
I realized recently that I've stalled enough in my weight loss that in order to make my goal, I have to lose more than 2 pounds a week every week until the end of November. As of this weigh in, I have to lose an average of 2.16 pounds a week to stay in the game. I can do this and I will. I am losing 100 pounds in a year.
Go Andrew!!
ReplyDeleteGood job on the decision making this weekend! :)
Nice! I was a little skeptical when I read that you ate out so much, but 3.9 is a great loss for the week.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up. You should be able to do the 2.16 pounds per week. Just stay focused.
Stay hard at it -- and maybe a little less fried, greasy foods (we understand the circumstances though). Way TO GO on teh 3.9 pound Loss! That is awesome.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up!
Way to go on the running!! :) Running is tough, and getting started is the most difficult time! Do you have a goal for when you are running your 5k?? You know I've already told you I'm doing it with you! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are enjoying the C25K even though it's getting tough. Well done on the loss.
ReplyDeleteWow, great job, Andrew! Way to push through a potential obsticle. Impressive, man!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm so impressed that you lost weight even with all the eating out. Shows you really have made a change in how you are dealing with food!
ReplyDeleteWhoa I was worried when you listed what you ate. Way to go on the loss! Keep it up! No sliding backwards
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! Doing a great job, it is inspiring to here your determination and self motivation.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! Keep it up. For reference, to lose 2.16# per week you will need to have a deficit of 7992 calories each week. So you need to burn 7992 calories more than you eat. So your BMR + working out - food = deficit. That has helped me a ton in losing weight. I have 49# to lose and so far have done 20# since February. You can do it!
ReplyDeletekick ass loss!!!
