Check-in 3: Okay so updates are just not going to be scheduled.

Last Friday I weighed in at 201 again. I'm not surprised or discouraged though. Why? Well..

1. My previous weigh-in was post colonoscopy, meaning my system was flushed of, well, everything. But flushed out is not the natural state of the gut, some of that was certainly going to come back.

2. Last week I was on an overnight business trip and literally every meal that week was from a restaurant. Needless to say I didn't even bother counting the calories. It was just one of those weeks.

3. I have kept up my exercise routine, and my body feels much tighter and stronger than it did a few weeks ago. Once the eating thing is back on track I should start seeing results.

So to recap the week:
Monday: No exercise
Tuesday: 45 minute workout
Wednesday: 45 minute workout
Thursday: No exercise
Friday: 45 minute workout

Total minutes for the week: 135
Total workouts so far: 15 workouts
Total minutes: 405, avg 28/workout

Check-in 2 : A little late again.

Weigh-in on the 8th has me down to 197 lbs :-)

Weekly recap:
Monday : 30 minute workout
Tuesday: 30 minute workout
Wednesday: No workout (clear liquid diet for medical procedure)
Thursday: No workout (medical procedure)
Friday: 30 minute workout

Taking the weekend off for the sake of consistency.

Plan for next week: Increase workouts to 45 minutes.

Check-in 1 : A little late

Friday should have been my first check-in, but life gets busy.

As of August 1, 2014 I weigh 199 lbs.

This is down 3 lbs from July 25, but I think part of that is simply the difference in scales. On the 25th I was weighed in at the doctor's office on their professional digital scale. On August 1 I weighed myself at work on the old fashioned sort of professional scale. Both are probably pretty accurate, but still different. Still, even if some of that weight loss is accounted for by the scales I doubt all of it is.

From July 28-now I have been keeping track of my calorie intake, staying within the range given by the app I'm using. I also got up and exercised for 20 minutes each morning, Monday - Friday. I took the weekend off for my body to recover.

Weight lost this week: 3 lbs
Total weight lost: 3 lbs
Exercise min this week: 100
Total exercise min: 100

Plan for August 4-8: Increase workouts to 30 min per day.
