I’m not done for the day, but I have to prep dinner for tomorrow and then I’m going to try and get into bed early. So, I’m just going to add in my food for the day and then stay away from the computer.

Well, not a bad workout. I finally managed to get that 50-lb dumbbell over my head. Although barely on the left side. I don’t plan to go up any higher with this movement (most I could do is another 2-lbs, then I’m out of weights). What I’ll aim for is better form and getting 50 pounds for all sets. I know on the left I couldn’t have done a fourth, so we’ll see how the next workout goes.

The Sunday to Sunday loss this week is 2.0lbs. The 9-week loss is 17.8lbs (1.98/week) which is usually the ‘number’ I look at to see how things are going overall. The other little compulsive number I look at is how many days I’ve been ‘on plan’ primarily with food. I still consider the maintenance week ‘on plan’ since I accomplished what I wanted to. So, since I started keeping track this is day 289 on plan with food.
