Weekly Results

Time to report on weekly progress. Weight from a week ago:

Last Sat:     .... 0
Sun            .....  -2.5
Mon          ......  -2.5
Tues          ......  -3.5
Wed           .....  -3.5
Thurs         ......  -4.0
Fri              ...... -3.5
Sat             ...... -1.5

This is such a case for why I weigh myself every single day.  If I only weighed myself once a week, I might have a wrong idea of the weight process.  The average, week-over-week, is 2.1 pounds loss.  Even last week, when I was up at the end of the week, I was actually down 0.2 pounds on the average week-over-week.  Day to day variations are a real problem. There are likely going to be weeks when I am actually up, but not this week. As it turns out, not actually last week either.

I worked out - vigorous exercise machine - on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and today. This was a good week because Monday was a holiday, so only Tuesday did I get up and NT before work. Wednesday was the gym at work. My current plan is to do the vigorous exercise both weekend days, the first day of the week in the morning, and one day in the gym at work, so I made it. The cumulative sleep debt and fatigue really get to me by the end of the week, and I'll work on combatting that later.

I logged my meals every day, and averaged 1300 calories per day.  I averaged 8000 steps - but that is misleading since most of those steps were last Monday's Big Walk with girl and dog.  I averaged 7 1/4 hours of sleep - with weekends over 8 hours and closer to 6 hours during the week.

Progress is important, and I made progress.
