Very bad week, there isn’t much else I can say about that. I had a big food day on the weekend and I didn’t work out very much at all. I think that 247 might be a little misleading because I weighed only 246 the day before, but that is the number I had on Tuesday so that is what counts for now. No matter the accuracy, I know that I fell short on exercise for the week and my diet was good, except for the weekend. Nothing to do now but try harder this week.

Current weight: 247.0 pounds

Weight lost since starting the blog: 19 pounds

Progress since starting with the new scale: -7 pounds, -1.6% body fat, -0.9 BMI

*Note about this weight loss chart. When I started this blog I weighed 266 pounds and I was only tracking my pounds lost each week. On November 28, 2007 I started using a new scale that tracks body fat and more (the numbers you see above). I report the figures from that scale in these weekly posts and I still track my total pounds lost in the Weight Loss Goals section in the sidebar on my site.

One week late, but I’m posting for the sake of consistency. I started this week well, but finished poorly. I’ll take the 0.2 pound loss, but unfortunately I’m afraid it won’t last long…

Current weight: 245.8 pounds

The good news- I’ve lost 20 pounds! The bad news - I wrote that same headline on January 28th so I lost a whole month. I’m glad I came back and lost the weight I gained, but I really wish I had kept the weight moving down over those four weeks. Hopefully I won’t lose momentum this time.

One week late again, but I did weigh in last Tuesday and I saved my numbers. I made a tiny bit of progress, but the more important change over the week was finding a new focus on exercising. Rather than just putting in my time on the treadmill I have started writing down my time and distance and shifting my focus to increasing my distance covered in the time I spend on the treadmill. So instead of just doing 20 minutes, I do 20 minutes but focus on going faster and further than the last time.

Maybe that is an obvious idea to most people, but by looking at how far I am going and how fast I am doing it I have managed to log a lot more time doing cardio exercise and it feels less boring too. It’s easier to be on the treadmill for 45 minutes if I see that I am going to reach a new distance milestone rather than just being on the treadmill for another 45 minutes like every other time. Give it a try if you find your cardio time is getting a little stale.

I am looking forward to tomorrow’s weigh-in and I am hopeful for some better results as I have been doing this for a full week now and I have been much better with my diet this week as well. Now, I just need to make the time to post my results the same day I weigh in.

This week was better than last week, but only slightly. I exercised 4 of 7 days, but I also ate way too much food. We went out to eat three times last week and I didn’t try very hard to make healthy choices (and by try very hard I mean that making healthy choices didn’t even cross my mind).

I’m just not feeling the drive and motivation it takes to really have success with my weight, but I’m going to keep at it and try to do better next week.
