    Weeks 5-7

    So I seem to have gotten a bit behind with my Weight Loss Journal.  Amusingly, I am now back to 186 after a brief journey down to 184.  I lost 1 pound during week 5, bringing me down to 185, and 1 during week 6 for a low of 184.  Then Valentine's Day happened with a weekend away to Las Vegas to celebrate my two-year anniversay with, among other things, an indulgence in the amazing restaurants there.
     
    I am having a bit of a problem going back to writing down everything I eat so I think I'm going to take a break this week from that and try to keep a mental tally instead.
     
    If the scale goes up again on Wednesday, I will go back to my food log.  What I really need to do is get back to the gym.  I'm trying to find time to play with my photography a bit more so it'll be a balancing act with that for a while as I need to work on it while I have the interest.  Otherwise I lose focus and put aside for months at a time.  Stupid ADD.
     
    Anyway, to sum up:
    Week 4 = 186
    Week 5 = 185
    Week 6 = 184
    Week 7 = 186
     
    My weigh-in on Wednesday marks two months of trying to lose weight.  It'll be interesting to see what type of progress I've made over that much time so I can gage what to expect by the end of the year.

    Week 4

    Success!  I lost 2 lbs. this week to bring me down to 186.  This is the halfway point through Melissa and I's challenge and right now I'm averaging a pound a week loss.  Not great, but not horrible either.  I think she's still kicking my butt; however, the important thing is that the number is going down and not up like it has for the past 12 months.

    I have started taking Hydroxycut, so hopefully that will help speed along the weight loss.  Now if I could just get it to stop raining on Sunday mornings so we could get our hikes in I would be a happy camper.
