Last week: 228.2
This week: 225.2
Lost: -3.0
Total: 24.8
Well, we had the funeral on Tuesday, and Drew's Christmas party on Saturday night but other than those it's been all about returning to normal. I got my full five workouts in, catching up at work and generally resettling into the usual schedule.
Two more events up this week, we have the work goodie day/potluck on Wednesday, and a Christmas brunch at my aunt and uncle's on the 21st.
Overall weight loss proceeds at a pace of 3.3lbs per week, which I still find a wee bit high but as I'm not going hungry or leaving too many points on the table at the end of each day I can live with for now. I did shake my fist at the scale this morning though for that stubborn 0.2lbs. Really? I miss my first big goal this week by 0.2? That adds insult to injury. Oh well, next week.
Ended up beating my cold into submission over the weekend, but I have to say thank you to a wonderful Drew for turning groceries into supper on Sunday. I had run out of fucks to give about 3pm and just wanted to lie on the couch leaking out the sinuses. Thank you for feeding me edible things Drew.

Week 6 - Ugh
First the weight
Last week: 229.6
This week: 228.2
Lost: -1.4
Total: 21.8
Now the rest
We had a death in the family last week. Drew's grandmother was diagnosed with cancer about 2 weeks ago, and the decline was very quick. She passed away thursday overnight. It's been a stressful time for everyone involved, and we're taking it one day at a time. The funeral is scheduled for tomorrow at one.
Foodwise, this has led to some fast and loose tracking over the last week, especially when combined with a few social events including a birthday party on Friday and a thank you dinner on Saturday at Boston Pizza. I'm actually a little surprised I lost anything at all, as I figured maintaining for this week would be counted a win.
The transgressions/out of the normals really added up; Tuesday was supper at Davids, Friday was out to the birthday party while Drew hosted our First of the Month game night (and I may have cleaned up the last little bit of the chip bowl when I got home, about 2oz all together of potato chips.) Saturday was Boston pizza with 2 slices of pizza and a hot chocolate at Jefferies across the street for dessert. Sunday was pizza again with Drew's family, along with 2 molasses cookies and a piece of shortbread from the tray mom dropped off (which was fantastic, it gave me a dessert to feed everyone)
So while I tracked everything I ate, it wasn't exactly a stellar food choice week. Not to mention I missed 2 of 5 workouts, and the one on Wednesday was short by about half. The other thing that was discovered is after six weeks of dieting, pizza really isn't your friend. My body had some very pointed opinions about the amount of grease I ate Saturday and Sunday night.
Well, back on track for this week. At least until the weekend when we have Drew's Xmas party on Saturday.
Yay Christmas.

Week 5 - Losing a wee bit too fast
As much as I hate to do it, I'm going to have to tweak my diet and slow down the weight loss a bit.
As of this morning, I weighed in at 229.6lbs, down another 3.2lbs from last week, which was 4lbs down from the week before. As much as I love watching the weight slide off that fast, it's just too much.
Conventional wisdom says between 1-2lbs per week, and my personal goal is 1% of my body weight per week, which puts me a smidge above those numbers for now. Except the last two weeks have been 1.4% and 1.5% respectively. Having one peak over the number I'm aiming at is a cause for celebration. Having two of them do it means I'm doing something wrong.
I'll concentrate on eating closer to my points value (I admit, I missed it by as much as six points some days last week) and using some of those weekly points on a more regular basis.
Total weight lost so far is 20.4 lbs.
Down to 31 daily points, and going to be watching the weight watcher site with a hairy eyeball for the next week or so. They're announcing their annual tweak to the plan on December 7, and I suspect a price increase to go with it. Now the question is does that include the online plan as well as the meeting plans, and by how much?
