This morning’s weigh-in was 239.4, which is 1.4 pounds down from last week. My weight was actually lower yesterday, but for whatever reason I’m up a little this morning. The 9-week loss is 13.8lbs (1.53/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 54 on plan with food.

The next couple of weeks will show high losses per week as I drop the spike off the graph. In a way they should be ignored as much as the gain weeks. With that thinking it will be about 4 weeks before all is back to normal. I did briefly see 233.6 at the end of March, so seriously, no congratulations until then!

Next week’s plan is:

Continue Fat Loss II phase of New Rules of Lifting, 3 days a week. 30-45 min walks 5 days a week (with my mother), aiming for 45 mins on non-lifting days. For June I’ll likely continue at the same food levels - 2000 on non-workout days and 2250-2300 on lifting days and see how that goes.

And the 9-week graph…
