Today was weigh in day and I lost weight! Yay! I also had the wrong weight stuck in my head from my last weigh in, so I didn't lose as much as I thought! Doh! I thought I had weighed in at 364.2, not 363.4. So my 2 pound loss was actually a 1.2 pound loss. I hope I break the 10 pound mark next week!
I'm surprised about one thing though. I'm already down two notches on my belt. Well, really a notch and a half. I was between two notches when I started, one a little too loose and the other a little too snug. This past Friday I started using the one that had been a little too snug and it fit perfect. Yesterday and today, I started using the next notch down and it fits perfect! I only have one notch left on this belt and then I'll have to start punching new holes!
Although when stuff like this happens, I flash back to an old episode of MASH, when BJ starts swapping out Charles' uniform for other peoples and convinces him that he's lost and then gained weight. I have a mental image of my wife swapping belts on me and giggling the whole time! She's like that you know!
Yesterday was my blow-off day and boy was it a success! It started out o.k. with a western omelet, home fries and english muffin at Eat N Park, followed by an hour of bowling and some grocery shopping. Lunch was reasonable, and then I went to Dad's for dinner and had about 1700 calories, including a piece of cherry pie and a half piece of lemon meringue pie. It was for a good cause though, my future niece-in-law wants pie instead of cake at her shower and we were sampling some from a local bakery. That's why I build one into my week. Life happens, I can deny myself things I enjoy or I can work around them. Every day for the previous 6 days, I was under my calorie goal by about 100 calories, not counting the calories I burned exercising. It all works out to me still being under my weekly calorie allowance. That's one of the reasons it's so beneficial to keep a food journal.
On January 2nd I weighed in at 370.6 pounds
On January 14th I weighed in at 362.2 pounds
8.4 lbs lost so far.
