A couple of quick updates…
The weekend went quite well. I believe I actually came out about 2 pounds lighter than I went into it! YES! I lost about 7 pounds last week which some will say is too much, but I know my body, it won’t continue at that rate. That was my first week “excitement”. Now comes the second week slump. I had ‘grown’ to an embarrassing 245 pounds. I weighed in this morning at about 238. Feels good to be doing the right thing again.
On the One-a-Week plan:
o Drink More Water – EVERY day this week, I drank at least 2 full Nalgeen (32 oz) water. In many cases, 3 or 4. Mission accomplished.
o Work out 5 days: Rode Monday, twice Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday for a total of 151 miles. (Second longest week of the year).
o Won a bike race! A race where weight matters – and I still won!
This week – I am going to give up ‘plate cleaning’. I can make a ‘happy plate’ myself, but the rule is simple – if it didn’t start on my plate, I aint eating it. This may not sound significant, but I finish off Max’s dinner a lot of times. A lot of calories there. The *ONLY* exception – vegetables.
I know – its really only a week since I have been tracking weight loss but the small added focus on fitness and health has helped me to make smart choices and this doesn’t feel like its the “total overnight change” that you often feel in a diet. Let’s see if we can keep this train rolling!
