Time for another Hacker’s Diet update.

Keep going! 15.6 lbs to go!

Weekly loss: 2.1 lbs. — Daily deficit: 1033 calo­ries.
You will reach your goal of 155 lbs on 2009-05-12. (234 days early!)

So far, I’ve lost 27.3 lbs of mea­sured weight (2.2 lbs in the last week) and 24.5 lbs of “real weight” (2.0 lbs in the last week). When I was doing the fam­ily chal­lenge, I had still only lost 14 lbs at this point, and was back­slid­ing then, too.

I had some trou­ble watch­ing my por­tions this week, but got bet­ter towards the end. Let­ting myself slip with all the snacks around the house; must be more vig­i­lant. I need to get myself back on track to hit my goal by my birth­day. The 100 Push-ups and 200 Sit-ups Pro­grams are going well. I can def­i­nitely feel my strength increasing.

I started fol­low­ing Tim Fer­riss on Twit­ter because he is donat­ing $3 to char­ity for every fol­lower, but he’s posted some inter­est­ing stuff on weight loss and mus­cle gain that I want to try. Must read the arti­cles more thor­oughly and see what I can incor­po­rate into the plan.

Also, thanks to Drew M for the compliment!

It was great last night to go out for Lil­lian L’s birth­day and to see her, Stacey F, Becca Y, Miyama I, Chris T, Tina K, Michael B, Linda C, Andrew M, and Thu H. Plus their friends. Peggy S, I’m sorry you couldn’t make it and hope that you and your car are OK.

Dur­ing the bar golf game, the chit-chat some­how hit the topic of Miss APhiO, and the fact that Chris T was a con­tes­tant. Appar­ently Tina K did not know this about him. We some­how got into desrib­ing his wardrobe, and some­one asked him, “So how did you like the heels?”

“They were great. They made my thighs…“
– Chris T, mak­ing some up-and-down hand ges­tures.
“Elon­gated?“
– Some­one, try­ing to be help­ful.
“Yeah, they made my thighs elon­gated, like cel­ery.“
– Chris T.

I’m pretty sure I did not mis­hear that, because I turned to Becca Y, the other sober per­son, to con­firm. Can any girls, or other Miss APhiO con­tes­tants, or peo­ple who know Chris T explain that com­par­i­son to me, please?

Time for another Hacker’s Diet update.

Keep going! 19.9 lbs to go!

Weekly loss: 2.5 lbs. — Daily deficit: 1234 calo­ries.
You will reach your goal of 155 lbs on 2009-05-01. (245 days early!)

So far, I’ve lost 24.6 lbs of mea­sured weight (3.5 lbs in the last week) and 20.2 17.6 lbs of “real weight” (2.6 lbs in the last week). When I was doing the fam­ily chal­lenge, I had lost 15 lbs at this point.

Things are going pretty well with the diet. I was incon­sis­tent with the exer­cise, but still lost a lot of weight this week. Both of which are because I’ve been sick since Tues­day. I com­pletely lost track on the 100 Push-Ups and 200 Sit-Ups Pro­grams, so I’m going to try to start again this Mon­day. I’m try­ing to go through two Nal­genes of water a day, which really helps flush all the shit out of my sys­tem as well as sup­press my appetite. It should help with the cold, too, I’m sure.

Thanks to Tony Q and Andrew M for your com­pli­ments this week!
