As you can easily see by my graphs I was doing well until the beginning of this year at which point I took a bit of a slide until a month ago, when I weighed in at my highest for some time, 279. I’m now a month in and had an unofficial weigh-in today of 274, which means I have dropped 5 pounds in the month since I re-energized my weight lost plans.
The genesis of this post was that I was going to research what I was doing the last time I was at 279 and why the weight came off so easily then, as opposed to now which feels like slow death.
But interestingly enough, what I found was that the last time I clocked in at 279 was at the end of last September, and a month later I weighed in at 274, happy with the result. So while it feels like things are taking longer now the data says otherwise. I need to be more patient!
Since I was looking at the posts anyway, I thought I would highlight the weekly updates for that period of time:
Weekly Update - 10/7/07 - Lost 1 pound, only thing I did well was cardio, but even at that it was not to plan.
Weekly Update - 10/14/2007 - Lost 5 pounds. Woa, where did that come from? Major change was cutting out bread, although I also logged 10+ miles in cardio and stuck to my drinking water plan.
Weekly Update - 10/21/2007 - Gained 2 pounds. Not surprising given the previous weeks results, however I didn’t put in the effort needed to break past that. Small pass given because I was traveling.
Weekly Update - 10/28/2007 - Lost 1 pound. Seemed like a hit and miss week on the goals.
About a month after this I weighed in at 267, well on my way to a low official recording of 263 (I saw a 262 midweek).
Being able to see this is hugely important to keeping me on track and I have moved from being bummed at my new pace to being happy with it.
