54th Tuesday weigh-in

225.5 lb

Oops, forgot to post this. I even eeked out a loss. Go me.

53rd Tuesday weigh-in

226.0 lb

Aargh! The numbers on the scale sucked.. but I still fit great in my new jeans. I have exercised all 6 days faithfully and tracked my food 5 of the 7 days. It was fun to see Grandpa and Candace last night, but it was a bummer that Linc and Randy punked me and didn't show up. Next up: Hannah's birthday, Thanksgiving, ward party, work party, Christmas party, New Years party... but most importantly: more weekly posts with losses!

Gain of 2lbs... but, to focus on the positives, I am wearing size 34 jeans without too much trouble which is a huge improvement over size 38's. Blue cheese dip and pretzel crisps are probably not a good thing for me to have around... but it's worth it occasionally. Rebecca's birthday party had me eating cobbler and ice cream which didn't help me either. At least I am hitting the gym consistently. I am also tracking food I eat but I slack off on tracking food I eat on the weekend. It has been a year since I started weekly weigh ins. I will keep doing them as I feel it keeps me from gaining or getting off track and helps to motivate me to lose. I have a more energy than I used to and, with two kids, I need every femto-joule I can get.

Loss of 0.5 lb, yay. Tracking food on thedailyplate again helped, Halloween candy and carmel apples did not help. Exercised as usual.

223.5 lb

Loss of 1.0 lb from last week. I still hate cold mornings.. but I am so glad to post another loss! I love thedailyplate.com it is so awesome and just the right price. Rebecca finds the coolest sites. Two more weeks will make a year of weekly weigh-ins. I think tracking my food on thedailyplate.com is a key component of losing weight because I still do not have the hang of portion control such that I know when to stop eating intuitively.

48th Tuesday weigh-in

225.0 lb

Loss of 1.5 lb from last week. YAY! Rebecca's sticky rice and mango dessert was awesome (I had two servings of that.) She also made some cinnamon rolls which were delicious. Rebecca took me to Cafe Rio as well on Monday and I was able to try a Banbury Cross donut, and, oh my... those are good!

So with all that happening, I have still kept up on my goal to stop eating after 8 pm, drink gallon of water per day, exercise six days per week. A landscaping project on Saturday and Fast Sunday probably helped me a little as well.
