Three Pounds A Week . . .

12/28/06: 223.8
01/10/07: 217.0

Total loss to date (assuming original 226 start-off weight): 9lbs

Average loss per week: 3-4.5lbs (this is tought o gauge due to random start dates and random weigh in times….I need to get more consistent in order to properly measure my weekly goals).

I am on goal so far, for the first two weeks. It’s actually been a little bit more then 2 weeks if you use 12/26/06 as my start date, but right about two weeks tomorrow if you use my latest weigh in of 223.8 on 12/28/07. So maybe I will report back tomorrow morning what my weight is and that will give an accurate 12/28/06-01/10/07 weight loss scale. Hopefully I am down to 216 tomorrow, or even better! We shall see.

My mental game is right on, I am not skipping a beat. I have had a couple bad meals in the last 2 weeks. I had 2 really bad lunches (double bacon cheese burgers and fries kind of lunch), one really bad day (new years day watching USC Rose Bowl game, awesome!), and 2 full on sushi dinners (tons of salt, and a bit of rice since I didn’t eat 100% sashimi – you try paying that bill). Also, little to no exercise. So maybe my mental game is not 100%, but getting on target for sure. Improving, not worsening – let’s just leave it at that.

Considering this, I am doing well for now. My Dad, who started of about 5lbs lighter then me is at 213, exactly 4lbs lighter. That means I am right on his heals to catch up if not beat him by 190lbs (23-27 more pounds to go).

The other day my Mom gave me pictures from my trip to Israel in May 2001. I will probably scan a couple of them in soon and post them here, along side more recent “fatty” pictures. Just to make it clear to anyone who hasn’t known me for more then 5 or 6 years that I truly do need to drop a good amount of weight. My healthy weight should be below 190lbs. I would like to hover around 190 for a long time once I get there, no more then 195, and hitting 200 once I get below that should send signals to my brain to immediately cut the fat and get the 8-10 pounds off!

It’s much easier losing 8-10 pounds then it is 40+. Wow, 40lbs overweight.

Also: I realize my categories are lame Each post kind of fits into every category…stupid me, trying to get all “smart” about this and make it logical. Oh well….
