Today’s weigh-in is bittersweet. On the one hand I made it into the 270s, which is huge for me. On the other hand, my goal for the end of this month was to get to 278, so I missed it by this much. Worse, I weighed myself yesterday and the scale showed 278 so I thought I was golden. I know enough now not to be worried by daily weight fluctuations, so I am OK with it, however it makes me mad I couldn’t get there. Part of the problem was I didn’t get to do any cardio yesterday because I hurt my knee a little bit playing soccer with my son (I was practicing left footed kicks and I think that knee just isn’t used to that stress).
Things I did well this week:
- For my cardio program I Started Week 2 of the Couch-to-5k.
- Lifted weights every day, and increased weights in a bunch of exercises.
- Kept track of my water drinking and on most days hit my goal.
Things I did not so well this week:
- A couple extra slices of pizza on Thursday and then snacked on the leftovers a couple of times yesterday.
- Didn’t eat very many vegetables.
October is going to be a tough month because I have a couple of trips to Chicago, with two different hotels so I have 2 more foreign gyms to get comfortable with. I’m setting a manageable goal of losing 5 pounds for the month.
