Here’s the lat­est update!

Keep going! 34.1 lbs to go!

Weekly loss: 2.7 lbs. — Daily deficit: 1353 calo­ries.
You will reach your goal of 155 lbs on 2009-04-21. (255 days early!)

Minor update on the graph, I’ve added lines to show the bar­ri­ers between BMI ranges that show up between your cur­rent and goal weights.

So far, I’ve lost 8.7 lbs of mea­sured weight (2.2 lbs in the last week) and 6 lbs of “real weight” (2.7 lbs in the last week). That’s good progress, but I feel like I could have done a lot better.

I was going alright until around the 186 lb “bar­rier,” where I seemed to stall a lit­tle. At first, I think it was just an issue of water weight. I really wanted to end the week under 186, though, because that’s the BMI bar­rier for my height between “obese” and “overweight.”

The real trou­ble started on Wednes­day night, though. I went to Davis to hang out because Drew M came back to town. Told myself I would only have one drink, but end­ing up sam­pling three types of Chi­may with Drew M and Aaron L. To make things worse, I had drunk munchies and scarfed down fries and M&Ms afterwords.

Then, I was stranded in Davis because I car­pooled with Joe M out but was going to come back with Will N, but he decided to spend the night. Spent all day in Davis and didn’t really drink water through­out the day, so I was pretty hun­gry when din­ner time came. Had fries for an appe­tizer and a larger meal than I should have. Then I had hella water after­wards because the food was pretty salty to me.

Any­way, Thursday’s weight is skewed because I took it after I got home on Thurs­day night, with a stom­ach full of food and water. A day of mis­takes drove my progress back­wards by sev­eral pounds, so les­son learned — my self-control goes to shit when out with friends. I don’t want to become a her­mit, so I really need to be aware and watch out for that in the future.

I’m going to try to ramp up my exer­cise pro­gram, so hope­fully I’ll have bet­ter news to report next week.
