Last Pre Holiday Diet Update!
253.7: -13.5 pounds, 27 days
Not bad. I didn't quite make my goal, but I feel pretty good about my progress. Losing over 13 pounds in less than a month isn't too bad. I'm not going to expect continued results at that level.
In fact, what I am going to expect?
Well, I'm hoping to survive Christmas, New Years, and our trip to Disney World the second week of august without INCREASING my mass. That means I'd like to come back from vacation on January 13 still weighing between 250 and 255. I'm going to have to work hard to do that because... well, it's the frakkin' holidays! And Disney World!
Once I get through the holidays, I'm setting a goal to lose 55 pounds by my birthday - that's July 24. So assuming I "start" losing weight the week of January 14th, that gives me 27 weeks to lose 55 pounds, or slightly less than 2 pounds per week.
I think I can get there with a good healthy diet, and lots of cardio and lots of weight training.
And at 200 pounds, I'll be at a weight I haven't seen since I was a freshman in college. If any of my old college buddies are reading this (Rory and Rob in particular might remember it!), I was quoted one drunken night upon realizing my weight.. "200 pounds! Good lord, I'm a lard ass!"
And now, here i am, 16 years later setting that as my goal.
Wish me luck!
