Day 137

So today ended up being one of those occasional lost days on the diet.  I generally felt blah today so I ended up skipping out on OT for the day but also skipping on a trip to the gym as well.  I figure I'll pick it back up tomorrow.  Today was also a weigh-in day so I figured it made a good one to skimp on.

160K to 180K took 14 days again.  So for the last couple weigh-ins I've talked a lot about plateauing.  In the last 14 days though I've lost the second largest amount of weight since the diet began.  I'm hoping that it's a sign that I've passed some sort of threshold.  I'm not going to make it during this first challenge, but 200 pounds seems to be a believable goal, and the long term goal to no longer be obese on the BMI chart even seems possible.

Weigh-in result:  215.4 lbs.

Now to finish off the theme from the last couple days I figured I'd show a picture of myself in my running shirt from last year:

If you look back to Saturday's post you can see me at the half-marathon wearing this same shirt (better image of me is also available at my fundraising page for this year's half-marathon: http://www.active.com/donate/virginia12newengland/VASDwyer ).  At that point the shirt was pretty tight on me.  Now it fits pretty loosely.  I tried on the XL Team Challenge shirt I was given at one point which I didn't even pretend to wear and that is now pretty comfortable.  All in all at 180K I think I'm doing pretty well.  But there's still 20K to go.

Food today:  egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast (300 calories), cheeseburgers on sourdough for lunch and dinner (800 calories each) and a roll and some Mike and Ike's as snacks for the day (300 calories).  No exercise on the day though.
