Goal weight of the week: sub 130
Goal weight for the month: sub 125 by August 31

1. Calories eaten: 1644
2. Daily calorie deficit (from the Reports): -498
3. Week to date calorie average: 1434
4. Week to date deficit: -2524
5. Exercise done: 5 miles this morning
6. Hours of sleep: 6.5
7. Weight: 130.2 (24.3%)
8. Feelings: General sadness throughout the day... PMS. Nervous about the food that I had at a restaurant for lunch and at a breakfast meeting, afraid that I will have a significant weight gain tomorrow. Feeling slightly more positive after allowing myself to read this evening and throwing productivity out the window, but slightly guilty at that last part also.
9. Calories planned for the next day: 1244
10. How I will hit my planned weight loss given weight and deficit: Running tomorrow and doing my lifting... no slacking. Eating slightly less to compensate for today's overeating. More fiber and water to get rid of the inevitable bloat tomorrow... don't let it get me discouraged!
11. Two weight-loss and one other success from the day: Did not give in to binging even though the day started with a lot of food. Kept my dinner portion small. Listened to my feelings and allowed myself a relaxing non-food treat.
12. One vision of my goal: Seeing my ribcage

  

Working towards 125, August 4-style

Tuesday, August 04, 2009

Goal weight of the week: sub 130
Goal weight for the month: sub 125 by August 31

1. Calories eaten: 1280
2. Daily calorie deficit (from the Reports): -1009
3. Week to date calorie average: 1364

5. Exercise done: 5 miles this morning, circuit training
6. Hours of sleep: 6
7. Weight: 131.2 (24.3%)
8. Feelings: Happy that my weight gain from yesterday was mostly bloat. Feeling a little binge-y, but staying strong. Feeling like lounging and reading instead of lifting, but I'm sure I'll feel better afterwards.
9. Calories planned for the next day: 1260
10. How I will hit my planned weight loss given weight and deficit: Running tomorrow. Will eat only half my portion at my work lunch tomorrow... take the rest home for another meal!
11. Two weight-loss and one other success from the day: Skipped the work party to avoid the cake temptation. Cut out the chocolate snack after I had a little bit extra for dinner. Did my lifting when I wanted to read instead... I can read more tomorrow!
12. One vision of my goal: Having my hip bones be wider than my thighs
