Week 9

Arrived back from weigh-in and slighlty bettter results this week which is positive.  Lost 3 pounds this week .   Had a solid week of  sticking to the diet and keeping my water intake up and eating the seeds.  Clothes are starting to get more baggy.  I put on pair of Kahki pants I haven't worn since the beginning of summer and they are really loose on me.  Have to put the belt all the way to the last notch. 

Feel good about being down just over 30lbs in 2 months.  About 10lbs off my expected pace at this time.  Still want to lose another 40lbs and be down to the 200lb mark by Christmas.  That leaves me 3 months or 13lbs per month.  Still think it's acheivable and I plan in on starting my exercise plan in the next week which should really help.  Will keep progress posted on that situation.

My last test is tomorrow morning. HOORAY!!!!  .  Thumbs up to that.  Feel good about the last two days of test.  Don't find out the marks until the end of November so its a bit of a wait.  Feel good and confident about passing.  It will be nice to be done and worry about other things other than studying.

Net Posting:  Next Wednesday after weigh-in.

Congrats...

...on the 3 pound loss this week! And good luck on reaching your upcoming goals.

I got your message about drinking. Luckily, I've never been a big fan of beer, so that's easy for me to pass on.

I know that, ideally, the best bet is to just pass on as much alcohol as possible. But in reality, I'm not ready to just give it up. I've cut back a lot in the last year, and I don't drink nearly as heavily (got tired of hangovers), but if there's a party going on then I'm going to party! It's just that season of my life.

But water is always a good idea. I'll have to remember to alternate...drink, water, drink, water. And if I go a too much overboard, I will add extra workouts to my routine in the days that follow.

Thanks for leaving the comment! Good luck this week.

Great!

Great to get that bigger loss after a slow week. The water really makes a difference. Helps flush out all that fat! Here's to hearing of another fantastic loss next week.
