Weight Loss Wednesday

As I announced 2 weeks ago I have embarked on a new weight loss journey. I am happy to announce a large measure of success on this front. I am currently down approximately 15 pounds.

My day consists of eating a tossed salad with chicken around 8 or 9 am, and then around 4 or 5 pm I have 2 glasses of carrot juice. I am up to running .8 miles and walking .8 miles a day.

Weight loss Wednesday

It has been awhile. Been very busy, dad in and out of hospital two more times, busy at work, and busy at home. All that being said, I am going to try to get back at it.

Weight loss update-

I did not meet my goal for vacation and went on vacation as a fat man. But there is hope. I have a few bets going targeting end of year weight loss. So far my strategy for losing weight is proving fruitful. I will keep you all updated.

One minor success, and two failures highlight this weeks report.

Success-I made it through this week abstaining from the wonderful ice cream treats available to us in our snack cabinet. Oh how I miss them. Even more so, I miss Mountain Dew, but I succeeded in making it through another week Dew free.

The next step for me is to remove all candy bars from my diet. This will leave only pop tarts as having any appeal in the snack cabinet. I also have tic tacs at my desk. So I am reduced to tic tacs and pop tarts.

Failure- I failed to do my full work out this week. I was tired and it just did not happen. I need to redouble on this.

Also, I failed to lose any weight, so now I am behind.

Hopefully next week will bring better news to report.

Consumption-
I have successfully made it through a week without any Mountain Dew. An achievement I am quite proud of. It has not been easy, but I will keep on this path for the sake of my health.

This week my goal is drop out the during the week ice cream. Our snack cart at work as various ice cream novelties to tempt me each day. These range from fudge bars, to ice cream sandwiches, to snickers ice cream bars. All these wonderful treats which I love to consume. BUT NO MORE! By next week I should be telling you that I made it through the week without any. Tune in to find out.

Exercise-
This week was not great. I had off work Friday and Monday which are my two exercise days besides Wednesday. However, with the various activities taking place this weekend, I did burn a fare amount of a calories. Probably not equal to, but I think close.

Progress-
Drum roll please. I weighed in this morning and am down 2 pounds. This puts us well on our way to our goals. I think the biggest factor for this was the missing Mountain Dew, but whatever it is, progress is progress, and I will take it.

Three more weeks until you get a new picture of me. Just to give you plenty of warning.
