Time for another Hacker’s Diet update.

Keep going! 7.8 lbs to go!

Weekly loss: 2.9 lbs. — Daily deficit: 1429 calo­ries.
You will reach your goal of 155 lbs on 2009-04-29. (247 days early!)

So far, I’ve lost 37.6 lbs of mea­sured weight (3.1 lbs in the last week) and 32.3 lbs of “real weight” (3.1 lbs in the last week). When I was doing the fam­ily chal­lenge, I had lost 19 pounds.

The 100 Push-ups and 200 Sit-ups Pro­grams are get­ting tougher. I can still squeeze out the sit-ups, but I’ve been fail­ing on the push-ups, and have had to fin­ish sets on my knees. Appar­ently I’m get­ting more peo­ple into the pro­grams, though, so that’s cool.

I also men­tioned the Col­orado Exper­i­ment and Cross­Fit to Joe M and Eddie C, and Joe M in par­tic­u­lar seemed very inter­ested. Michow, of course, was inter­est­ing in see­ing us fail at these pro­grams. I don’t have the equip­ment to do these pro­grams, though, and I don’t feel like spend­ing money on a gym mem­ber­ship until I get bet­ter pay­ing job and more free time.

As you can see, I’m within a week or so of get­ting my mea­sured weight to my goal. Start­ing maybe a week or two ago, I could finally see a dif­fer­ence when I looked in the mir­ror. Feels like the real me is get­ting revealed under all the crap I’ve piled on. In fact, since things are going so well, I’m think­ing over low­er­ing my goal. But I’ll wait to hit my cur­rent goal first before mak­ing any final decisions.

As usual, thanks to every­one for your compliments!
