No. Calories Needed

I’m down 2 pounds from last week’s weigh in!

I’m back to 235.6.

When I started in September, I was at 252.2.

I’ve lost a total of 16.7 pounds.

It feels good to lose weight, even if I am still several pounds above my “low” of a few months ago.  I had some great workouts last week, and I did much better with my eating.

Sunday, I started feeling a little sick, and I think I may have had a “mild” virus.  I’m not sure what was going on, but I just didn’t feel like working out Monday.  I feel much better today, and I’m really ready to get back into the gym.

We’re all about dealing with reality, right?!?

I now weigh 237.5 pounds.

When I started in September, I was at 252.2 pounds.

So, now I’m down 14.7 pounds, which would be awesome, except for the fact that I was down 28.2 pounds in February.

Here are the details.

I started to stall, didn’t lose any weight during March, and then just “threw my hands up” in April.

Foolishly, I went back to some old eating habits, and I stopped really trying in April.  I continued to go to the gym, and I did think about my eating, but I wasn’t REALLY focused.

I have a couple of ways to look at my situation.  I choose to look on the positive side, focus on the 14.7 pounds, and get excited about going to the gym today.

Now that it’s warm outside, I’m planning on going to the gym, working out, and then heading to the track for some running.  Let’s see if that kick-starts the old weight loss.

Thanks for hanging in there with me.  (I wouldn’t NEED this blog if I was GOOD at this stuff!!!)  Rock on.
