Week 1
Dec 22 2007 02:51

Starting weight - 264.2

Today's weight - 256.0

This week's loss - 8.2 lbs!

This week I tried to eat all my meals (5 or 6 a day), drink a lot of water, and started working out.  I am doing martial arts 3 nites a week and going to the gym everyday except Tues and Thur where I am walking/running, doing strength training, and swimming.  I am trying to take in 1800 calories but I'm doing less than 1400 right now.  From the analysis I can see that I need to increase my fiber and protein.  I also need to reduce my sodium and I think the best way to do that will be to replace my Lean Cuisine lunch with something fresh.  I did see weight increases twice this week but I wasn't worried about it.  I fully expect it to bounce a bit since I am weighing myself everyday, as long as the trend is going down I'm good.

I'm certainly not noticing any differences in my clothes yet or in my appearance, but I am noticing that I'm making improvements at the gym. 

My next official weigh in day is Saturday, 12/29, and my next weight date (when I weigh myself, take measurements, and take 3 pics - front, side, and back) is January 15th.
