Starting weight: 230 lbs
Previous weight: 226 lbs
Current weight: 223 lbs
I was surprised to be down 3 lbs when I weighed myself in today. I have not lifted in a week and a half due to a hectic schedule that's prevented me from starting my evenings until it's too late. Also, I went to Atlantic City this past weekend and had a cheat meal on Saturday night.
On the plus side, I kept up with my cardio schedule Monday-Thursday. Even while in Atlantic City, I took a brisk walk outside for at least an hour on Saturday. I ate clean Monday through Friday afternoon. I ate dinner Friday night at PF Changs but managed to stick with lettuce wraps and a salad. I did have a dessert of dark chocolate, however. I felt ok about it since it's not as unhealthy as the other options and dark chocolate does possess some health benefits. The portion wasn't overwhelming either unlike the rest of their ginormous desserts.
Saturday I only ate two meals. My first meal consisted of bbq pulled turkey, beans, and cole slaw. Not bad. But the calories I saved were more than spent at dinner at The Palm. I indulged in prime rib, mashed potatoes, broccoli, salad, bread, and ahi tuna. I did manage to resist having too much of the bread and mashed potatoes (compared to what I used to do) and ate plenty of broccoli/salad. But I gave in and had dessert too- a flourless chocolate cake with berries and vanilla ice cream. I've eaten two cheat meals over two weeks so I don't feel bad.
After returning home Sunday, I went back to eating clean and I've eaten clean today. I do need to step my game up if I want to reach my goals. There has been noticeable progress, however. I have not had any major foot pain from my plantar faciitis or the bone spur in the back of my right heel. Also, my girlfriend has noticed that I've gotten a little smaller in my gut. So I am making progress.
14 more weeks until I'm 30.
