The diet marches on. This week was a pretty good one, all told. It helped that I didn’t have an Oscar party to pig out at, though we did go to a friend’s house for dinner, and I feel like a pretty big doofus, sitting there weighing my food while everyone else is just eating. Then again, this is the way I diet, and my friends luckily respect that.
But I know you–you just want the digits. I clocked in at 209 this morning, meaning I’ve lost 2.6 pounds since last week, and 5 pounds overall. Take that number with a grain of salt, though–yesterday I was 210.8, so I’m thinking I just got lucky on the scale. Still, it’s definitely a downward trend, and the plateau I was bemoaning last week is nowhere to be seen now.
It also helped that I exercised consistently this time. I’ve got my rowing machine setup in the basement now, and I brought some computer speakers and an iPad stand down with me, so I can basically watch anything I want while I row. So far I’ve been going with Supernatural, and I think I’ll stick with that for a while. Definitely diverting, and I feel like I’m both wasting time watching TV and being superproductive by exercising, all at the same time. Nice. Yesterday I got 850 “rows” in in a half hour. Not great, but it was also my first time I could row straight for all 30 minutes, so yay for that.
I do think exercising and dieting at the same time is having more of an immediate effect, which I suppose stands to reason. I definitely feel more energized having exercised, so that’s a real plus.
As far as overall feeling, I continue to feel good. Hungry, but you get used to that. I’m eating around 1800 calories a day, and that doesn’t feel too hard. It helps that I had all that practice last time I dieted. 🙂 Still haven’t been sick, but again–you can’t read too much into 2 weeks.
Anyway–that’s where I am today. I’ll check in again next week. Thanks for all the words of support, peoples. They’re much appreciated.
I’m glad things are going well. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Good job, Bryce! You can do it!
