lose 50 pounds

Finally made some progress. Parties on the weekends have made things slow going. I’m going to try and stay away from too much indulgence this weekend and see if I can carry it through.

My new short-term goal is 220 by the end of August.

Nothing is the same except the weight. I started running again and have managed 5/7 days a week. I’ve also focused on portions very carefully. To be honest, the weight dipped below the 230 mark several times, but no major downward trend yet. I’m hopeful that next week, I will have something to show for the hard work.

I’m at it again…

With renewed discipline, I managed to lose 4 pounds this week. I tracked everything I ate and can see that I’m hitting the right balance for calories. I think I could still do a little better in the healthy fruits and vegetables department.

Delighted to see those first few pounds come off…

Ate like a sane person today and lost some of the holiday bloat.

Due to general lack of discipline and too much holiday drinking, I’m up 7 pounds. I’m back at it in earnest starting today.

It turns out my scale was under by 10 pounds consistently, so my real weight was 10 pounds higher than I thought it was. New goals, adjusted. On the upside, I’m still losing weight:

Got off track, had a setback, at it again.

Either my scale is messing with me, or I lost another pound. Now, if I can just make it through the weekend without setting myself back in a major way.
