Day Four Hundred and Twenty-One - Weigh in #60 - A Tale of Two Octobers

I was reading some past blog posts this morning, and I came across my twenty-sixth weigh in from last year.  I lost over eight pounds that week.  EIGHT!  I couldn't believe it when I read it.  I have come a long way, but with that has come a major slow down.  While I would love to still be losing six or seven pounds per week, I know that would be unhealthy (and from my experiences so far it would seemingly be impossible).  I know I can get down to two hundred, it is just going to take a lot of focus, discipline, and hard work!

My weigh in today was pretty good.  You all know that I ate terribly last week.  I loaded up on wings, fries, cheesecake, cake, ice cream, barbecue, more fries, etc., and I was sure that I would be up in weight this week.  Thankfully that wasn't the case.  As of this morning, I have lost another 1.4 lbs.  This brings my total weight loss to an even 154 lbs., with a current weight of 212.2 lbs.  While it may not be eight pounds, it is still heading in the right direction.  It also brings me below the 212.8 that I weighed in at three weeks ago.  Now it is time for a really focused week to get below 210 lbs.!  I am getting so close to the end that I can taste it!  I am going to finish losing my butter half!

My calories today were really good.  I was careful about what I ate and made sure to stay within my calorie goals.  If I can continue this pattern for the next week, I know that I will be down another pound or two.  My run this morning was good.  It was cold, and my legs were a little tired, but overall  it was a good run.  No bike tonight.  I am going to relax a little and get some sleep.
