September 21
Diet: ~2500 cals. Higher than I'd like, for sure.
Exercise: A little better. Close to 7k steps.
Weight: -4.4 lbs
Comment: So last week was week four since I started blogging, and today is actually the end of week 5. So I'm *almost* at one lb. per week of weight loss, which is OK progress- not as much as I'd like, but again, I'm pretty much doing this at a time when this would be the hardest it could possibly be, so I don't feel too bad about it. Just got to keep pressing on!

Ack. This is kind of ridiculous. So yeah here's a whole bunch of updates:
17th: 1895 cals, 2310 steps
18th 2261 cals, 5k steps
19th 2684 cals, 2000 steps
20th 2000 cals, 4300 steps
Comment:
Mostly OK calorie wise. However you'll notice my step counts are low (I've done some resistance work in there as well). This is on purpose: after last Friday's 12k steps, my left foot starting hurting a lot. I had this happen before: back in 2012 when I was living in Boston, I was walking way more, and my foot hurt so bad that I thought it might have had a fracture or something. Back then I let it go too long and my foot started to even swell up (it got better when I finally starting taking it easy).
So I took it easy the past few days, and it feels a lot better. Hopefully starting today I can get back in the swing of things.

September 14, 15, 16
Catchin' up.
I haven't measured yet, but I will do some stats and things.
So anyway:
Wednesday September 14:
Cals: 2000
Exercise: 10k Steps, chest exercises
Thursday September 15:
Cals: 3100 (ugh)
Exercise: 10k Steps
Friday September 16:
Cals 2800
Exercise 12k Steps
Comments:
Thursday was a bad day for absurd reasons. I'm living with gracious hosts as I've mentioned before, away from my family. But these folks can be pretty aggressive, and I'm too shy to hurt feelings by being insistent that "no, I had dinner or am simply not eating at the moment." On Thursday I was offered food, *actually said no,* and the response was "nope, you're having this." This is partly a cultural thing, I think. I just have to get better at putting my foot down.
At least I've been rocking the steps like a boss. I shouldn't be wasting progress even with a crappy past three days because I've actually been in a calorie deficit every day (because of all the stepping). Friday I hit a high a 12k steps. Which might have been because I got lost in the mall's parking garage. Maybe.
Some Stats:
Calorie burn, 30 day average: Just a under 3100. This is quite good. Past week: 2800.
Calorie Consumption Avg., past 8 days: 2400.
So I should still, despite my stumbles, be on pace to lose a pound a week.

September 10, 11, 12
Catching up for the weekend and so forth:
September 10 cals and steps:
Cals: 2k.
Steps: Just a tad under 12k, one of my better showings!
September 11:
Cals: 2800. :(
Steps: 10k, and back exercises.
September 12:
Cals: 2000
Steps: 3k :p :p :p
Weight: -3.2 lbs
Measurements- (same, will measure on Thurday this week).
Comments:
Had a nice streak of getting close to or over 10k steps end yesterday. TBH, I missed my lunchtime walk at work because of "work stuff" and I just didn't find the time to recover the steps.
This Thursday marks week 4 of my efforts. Seem like I have a decent shot at a pound per week loss rate. I'll take more measurements and figure some stats too!

Diet Compliance: ~2000 cals, not bad.

Comments:
Did a better job getting steps in throughout the day. Still adjusting though; should have been trivially easy to get to 10k but like I said, I just flat out fell asleep :p
