Week #5

I had a cold this week which made everything difficult. The Christmas holiday is going to be difficult. All I can possibly hope for is to maintain what I have done thus far. I officially reached the 10 pound mark this week.

Weight: -10 pounds

Week #4

Since I have been successful (relatively) with my diet and exercise for 1 month, I have decided that daily posts aren't really helping. The experts say food diaries are very important. I can't say that I agree, at least for me. Maybe if one is delusional and eats 5,000 calories without realizing what they are doing this is more helpful. I, on the other hand, realize the caloric content of every piece of food that crosses my lips. Problem is, sometimes I am helpless to resist no matter what the cost. Anyway, I will be recording a weekly weight mainly as a record to guard against any perception of shenanigans when I destroy Bart in round one of FB III. I have officially lost 9 pounds as of yesterday. I don't think I will tell him until I have lost 12-15. Don't want to discourage the fat bastard.

Exercise:
Mon: Elliptical x50 min
Tues: Weights, elliptical x15 min
Wed: Elliptical, treadmill, bike 55 min
Thurs: Weight circuit, spin bike 20 min
Fri: Swim 22 laps (almost drowned again)

Weight: -9 pounds
