Week 7: 186
This is a bit frustrating because I was really good this week. I went out for barbecue on Father's Day, but then ate super under Monday and Tuesday. I even saw 187 when I woke up, but weighed myself later and saw 186.
(I did have that burrito yesterday, but I had a small breakfast and that was lunch & dinner.) I didn't eat before my soccer workout last night but then had a carnitas soft taco at home afterwards. Perhaps that was my downfall.
It's not the worst. It's still an average of a pound and a half over the last two weeks. If last week I saw 187, this would be no big deal. So hopefully I can at least be 185 or below by next week.

Week 6

This number might be deceptive. On Monday I was 187.5. Tuesday I was 188. So this was a two-pound drop in a day, that just happened to be my weigh-in day. Tomorrow I could see 187 or 188 and not be too surprised.
Yesterday we had a salsa taste test contest at work. (I made a salsa. It was not too bad but not as good as some others.) The way it worked out was that I skipped lunch because I wasn't hungry, which may have been the first time in history. I'm not sure why I wasn't hungry. I did eat a lot of salsa/chips but it was my lunch and dinner.
And then last night I did another soccer workout. The morning after I do a soccer workout, for two consecutive weeks, I feel incredibly lighter. Sure enough the scale reflected that today. (Last week the scale didn't show any weight loss from the workout for a couple days, and who knows if that was related.)
Feeling good. 180 is my wedding/college weight, so that's always a nice milestone. Maybe this time I can actually cross it and stay on the other side for a while.

One the one hand, the scale's not moving as swiftly as I would like. But last week I stayed home from work and got off my routine a bit. Friday I played golf but then ate about 6000 calories at an Indian buffet. And then shot some baskets on a full stomach.
Last night I did a soccer workout and woke up feeling great, like I've lost 5 pounds. And I'm still losing. Perhaps with some more soccer/basketball and back in my healthy routine, I could lose two pounds this upcoming week.

Week 4: 190
If last week it showed 192, I think this would be more impressive. So just a pound this week despite staying consistent through Memorial Day weekend, I've lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks. Obviously that's an unsustainable rate.
10 down, 30 to go to my goal.

Week 3

Week 1: 195.5
Week 2: 194
Week 3: 191
Last Sunday I went to Five Guys. This weekend I stayed on the train. Also, only looking at data points every week is a little deceptive. Last Thursday I saw 192.5. I was still 192 as of yesterday. So for six days I hovered between 192.5 and 192, but I saw a loss of 1.5 pounds last Thursday and a loss of 1 pound this morning.

Back on the Weight Loss Train
Week 0: 200
Week 1: 195.5
Raise your hand if you saw this coming...I gained the weight back and need to lose it again. (whole world raises hands)
In 2013, I started eating healthy on May 1. I weighed 205 pounds.
By September 25, I was down to 175. So in under five months, I lost 30 pounds. It only took me a little over three months to lose 25.
Over the last seven months, I've gained back 25 of the 30 I lost last year.

There's just a bit of fuzzy math with the numbers right now. I weighed myself about two weeks ago and I was 199.5. Then I didn't weight myself until Monday, May 5. That's when I started eating healthy. And two days ago I weighed 198.5. So technically that should be my starting point. But I wanted my weigh-in date to be Wednesday (since sometimes I eat poorer on the weekends and I wanted two days to try and make up for that before a weigh-in) and I wanted the round number of 200 to be my starting point (so that when I hit 190 or 180 it will be easier to say 10 pounds, 20 pounds lost). So I'm not really sure what I weighed last wednesday, but I'm going with 200.
As for this week, I was 198.5 on Monday and Tuesday, and then all of a sudden I weighed once and it said 195.5. Maybe tomorrow I'll see 197. We'll see what week 2 will bring. I know the first week is always an outlier because your body is so used to burning 4000 calories a day that it's easier to lose weight.

I already feel smaller and better. It's a weird dynamic. For the last couple months, when the weekend hits, but even on weekdays, all I want to do is eat. Barbecue, fudge, whatever. In large quantities. But as soon as I start eating healthy, I feel better. My appetite doesn't know what's best for me.
