My Weight Loss Blog, Week 4

Yay, I've made it to week 4 without falling off the wagon! :)

Okay, okay, I never really thought that I would fall off the wagon, but I do want to impart upon the faithful readers of this blog that minding every single calorie in and every single ounce of energy expended each day is not as easy as it might seem!

I will be glad when I get to my goal so I can go back to just "generally" tracking this sort of stuff, instead of keeping a daily log like I do right now.

In this particular time frame, that daily log included dinner and drinks with the lovely and talented Ms. Amy last Friday night, and brunch (which always TURNS into drinks!) with Amy, Patrick, Polegirl, and Mishel on Sunday. We watched the Jags lose to the Colts, but it was still a good day, and much fun was had by all. I also did not workout at all on Sunday, giving my legs (and my head!) a much needed rest.

Neither of those instances are what I would call "ideal" for weight loss, but I still managed to drop another .3 percent off of the total bodyfat level this week, which puts me at 14.8% right now, with my bodyweight holding steady at 172.

Still a far cry from my goal, but I am not worried. Despite my truncated timeline, I still haven't busted out all of the tricks that I have up my sleeve, and I will likely save them until crunch time, if they end up being needed at all.

In the meantime, I DID get my Playstation 2 set up, and the EyeToy:Kinetic game is SO much fun, and it is SO hard! I expected it to be a bit difficult, but it went way beyond that. I've only played it a few times so far, but I plan to hit it several times this week and see if I can manage to NOT kick the coffee table or knock over the bookshelf in the living room....

As far as changes to the program this week: nothing major. I will not be taking Sunday off as I did yesterday, and I plan to spend more time with the EyeToy, and I'll do cardio one more time than I did last week. Otherwise, it's back to minding calories, shaking hands, and kissing babies....

Stay Tuned!
