It's Sunday again so I jumped on the scale first thing this morning... and I lost 2.6 pounds this week. That is just about on target and at 247.6 pounds I am feeling pretty confident that I will make the Birthday "mini goal" of 240 pounds (that is 7.6 pounds to lose in just over 5 weeks). Now I just have to decide what I am going to do to celebrate. Any suggestions?
You may have noticed (well I have) that my weight loss has been kind of up and down... the first week there was a 5 pound loss, Week two was only 1 pound, week three was the 7 pound loss and this week a two pound loss. Don't get me wrong I am not disappointed with any of these numbers a loss is a loss and I am happy it's gone. But I think I have figured something out about my activity level and my job. I work a rotating shift... days one week, nights the next. The weeks that I work nights I am a lot more active and I think that makes all the difference. I get to run when I get home from work at 6am and it's cool and it's quiet as compared to running when I am done with work on days, it is hot and muggy (although it's been fairly cool this week) and I have to share the bike path with bikes, roller bladers, walkers and runners. I like the solitude of running in the morning and I enjoy it much less when I run at night. I was going to try the gym last night only to find out it closes early on Saturday... oh well tomorrow is another day.

Gratz on the 2.6 pounds! That's a lot, in my book.
ReplyDeleteI have another theory, at least about the first week or two. I think you drop water weight/glycogen stores. It's hard to lose 7 pounds of fat in 1 week-- the next week, you do lose more fat, but it doesn't show up as dramatically on the scale. It's all good.
Great job on the 2.6!!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't like to run with a bunch of other traffic - shoot, I don't even like to bike with a lot of other bikers! Your AM runs sound really nice and tranquil.
Congratulations! 2.6 is awesome!
