January 12: DANG YOU SCALE

So my weight didn't budge at all (ok, it went down .2, not worth mentioning, barely).

SCREW YOU SCALE.

I'm not toooo worried about my January goals yet, as I know my "weight loss pattern" is "hold hold hold DUMP," but it's still freaking annoying,

Oh well.

I suppose I should make 1800 the true target, and I suppose I should do one meal a day IF again.

Good week so far, though my goal for today and tomorrow is to hit 1700 calories, to ensure I'm on target for my monthly goals, while maintaining my step goals.

Comment: Not a lot of steps, but a decent, non-blowout Saturday, so a win.

Jan 2-6... really!?

The funny thing about maintaining this blog is it is easy to fool yourself into thinking you are just "a day behind." All week I thought, "gotta update it, meh, it'll wait, I'm not that far back." And now here we are :p

So let's do a summary:

 Steps: Monday was the only day that I did not hit my goal of 9k or more (that day was 5500 steps). The rest of the days were at least 9k, usually topping out at 9200-9300.

Calories:

My low was Monday, at 1800 calories. My high was 2200. So a pretty good week! Today will be something like 2300 also.

Measurements:

Weight: The same as last week. A little frustrating, but I had a non-scale victory, so I know that this is just the scale being a liar, as usual.

Measurements:
Was down 1" in the chest, so now I'm back to -3" since the start of this blog on chest circumference. This is great because the chest size affects my day to day life more than any other measurement (the ol' man boobs make shirts uncomfortable, more so than the gut). The waist was basically the same, I could have said I lost maybe a quarter inch, but I like to be conservative (it's easy to fool yourself via posture or whatever). I'm still at -3" overall on the waist.

So with a significant size reduction AND a good week eating and exercising, I know that the unchanged weight number is just scale BS and I'm optimistic this will show soon.

JANUARY GOALS:

New year, new goals.

My goals for weight are:


-4 lbs by Friday the 27th. Obviously this assumes a 1 lb per week loss which hopefully I can do better than, but I'll be perfectly happy with this otherwise.

Size goals:
Another inch from the chest and waist.

January 1

Comment: Steps were bullshit; probably should have had at least 5000; the vivofit from Garmin is terrible at detecting housework type stuff.
