Well, I might as well come clean about where I am. The weight still continues to drop madly, but I know at some point it will stop. I’m hoping later than sooner, but who knows. I was going to wait until I settled into a ‘normal’ loss, but figured I might as well share the bad instead of just the good.

This morning’s weigh-in was 249.8, which is 5.0 pounds down from last week, and 9.6 from two weeks ago. The 9-week gain, however, is 11.2lbs (1.24/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 a maintenance week ‘on plan’ since I accomplished what I wanted to. So this is day 12 on plan with food.

Scary how quickly my weight went up, isn’t it? The only positive thing is that it seems to be coming down just as quickly. Although as I said, I’m sure at some point it will stop and I’ll have to work hard at losing the weight again. I did briefly see 233.6 at the end of March, so seriously, no congratulations until then!

Next week’s plan is:

Start the Break-in phase of New Rules of Lifting, 3 days a week. 30-40 min walks 5 days a week (with my mother). For May at least that I’ll do 2000 on non-workout days and 2250-2300 on lifting days and see how that goes.

And the depressing little graph…
