Wednesday Weigh-In: 3/4/2009

Today I'm down to 164.4 pounds. That's 2.6 lbs. down from last week. Niiiiiiiice. In total, that's almost 11 pounds lost since I started this blog two months ago. And a gazillion pounds, it seems, since I started my weight loss project. Yup, I think stepping up the workouts really has launched me over the wall.

This is especially cool since my calorie intake over the past week has been above what I used to eat. I think my body just needed the extra calories anyway. Also, during te past 2-3 weeks I had been deliberately indulging in part as an experiment to see how it affected my weight (& in part because I wanted to eat dirty!). I should be going into maintenance mode in a few months and know that it's going to be a challenge trying to adjust my eating back up to a "semi-normal" level although, frankly, I am used to my food as it is and don't really feel like I'm missing out on anything.

Anyway, things are moving in the right direction.

And, no, I haven't done the :20 minute workout yet. I have a frackin' cold now and don't have the capacity to deal with Ms. Motta's 'tude.

  3. great job. hope the cold gets better. the more you workout the less sick you will get and the quicker you will get better. it really improves your immune system. my husband got deathly sick in Vegas. Luckily, I didn't get it.

  4. Poor guy. His only break from the grueling demands of law school is being sick in Vegas? That's like a sick joke!

  6. Wow - 2.6 pounds? That's fantastic! Maintenance can be tricky, but you're right - if you just keep eating the same way you are now, it'll be a breeze. Congrats!
