I did it! I have dropped back down under 250lbs. I weighed myself this morning and I came in at 247.9. My goal for next week, again, is 245. This weekend will be a bit tricky, going to visit the in-laws which usually involves a lot of delicious food. We will also be celebrating a birthday, so more delicious food. So I will have to try and be very disciplined!
I missed my mark, but and weighed in at 251.6 this morning. I am not discouraged, I know that there are ups, downs and stay stills in weight loss. I am just going to try and dig in and focus on meeting my goals. I will break the 250 mark, it’s just a matter of time and it will probably been sooner rather than later. To anyone else trying to lose weight on the 4th of July holiday, remember, you can have a good time without eating obscenely. Holidays are generally a time where I slip up, but I’m going to try and focus and eat better than I would usually, good luck to you all.
I did so so on my goal of not eating breakfast out as much and was able to drop to 252.6 lbs. I am very happy about this because it was fathers day and so there was a special dinner out (twice) and I ended up eating out a lot because I had work and helped my wife pack up her classroom for the end of the year. That in combination with doing a lot of gaming (Civilization 5: Gods and Kings just came out) and I was expecting to have a rough week. I attribute this largely to trying eating at Subway when I could and making the switch from a footlong sub to the six inch sub. I probably should have listed that as a goal last week, but I have been working on that psychological battle for months already. I do not know why it was so hard because a six inch sub is enough, but it was something that I struggled with.
Since I did not completely cut out morning out breakfasts, I need to work on that still for next week and now that father’s day is behind I am going to try and eat out less… just as soon as I eat this pizza I ordered for dinner. Well, that’s technically not eating OUT right? RIGHT?!?! Come on… fine.
