I'm down another 2.0 lbs this week on The Plan. I'm happy with this because it puts me at a 2 year low in terms of weight. I figure I was at 200 lbs about 2 years ago when I was living in Cincinnati doing contract work here in Columbus. (I was on an expense account and could eat ANYTHING I wanted. Naturally, I put on 5lbs in 7 months...) So, I'm down 9.6! I can ALMOST say that I'm down 10 lbs!
I was joking with people yesterday that I was hoping to lose 2.2 lbs or MORE to get me below the psychological 200lb mark. I've realized that I can and WILL do it this time. I will be at 185ish (with muscle) this spring.
The weight loss is very noticeable in my gut. There had been certain shirts that I had not been able to wear because of my gut. I put them on with no problems now. Strangely, I have not seen so much difference in my pants size. I may retain my J' Lo butt after all!
The routine of eating soup and individual package of hummus (with carrots and/or celery) has worked out very well. The bean and veggie soup I made last week was perfect and filling. I ate it 5 days in a row for lunch without complaint. While I don't want to get bored with soup, if this works, I should stick with it!
What went well
- I stayed on the plan
- My alcohol consumption is very low. Sensible snacks, not so many carbs
- Despite being in a bad mood for a couple of days, I stuck with it!
What needs improvement
- Get a full 8 hours of sleep each night
- Meet the 3,000 Nike+ Fuel point goal every day (I missed the first day because I didn't feel well and it was very cold and snowy outside.)
- 6 days of "A-" or better (one cheat day is cool)
- 6 days of "A-" or better (one cheat day is cool)
