So today was the first weigh-in for the new diet. As always this is the easy weight, the "water weight" which comes off quickly right at the beginning of the diet. I fully expect to see a significant slow down in the coming weeks. Even at my best I only got down right below the 200 pound mark, and at the time there was plenty of slowing.
Weigh-in Result: 226.2
So from the start of the new diet that represents a loss of 8.2 pounds. A major drop but I haven't really seen a major change in the tightness of my clothes, etc. My guess is I probably won't see really noticeable results until I hit the 15 pound mark.
As for the day itself, it should have gone pretty well. Unfortunately an otherwise nice person at work decided to be an a-hole. I have a little sticky note up in my cubicle with a message saying "No Candy." It's meant to remind me not to go grab candy from the various candy bowls at work. Admittedly this mantra is observed in the breach more often than not, but what can you do? This person saw the note up, and thought it would be funny to bring over one of the recently re-filled candy bowls and stand there shoving it in my face. At first I tried to be funny about it, but when they refused to go away until I took some candy, I grabbed a piece.
On another day, this probably would have been bad, but not terrible since I would have grabbed some anyway. Today though I was doing quite well, I wasn't hungry in the morning at work (despite the reduced intake, and small dinner, yesterday). Lunch was also quite filling for me as well. In addition, I hadn't gone looking for snacks so I hadn't known the candy bowl was refilled. If they hadn't decided to be "funny" I probably would have gone the day without a problem.
One of the reasons I'm still overweight though is that simply one piece of candy isn't going to be enough. Once I had the one I'd grabbed (because as we've established in previous posts, I have the willpower of a first-grader), then of course I was going to go get more. In the end it was a disappointing day. I compensated by making a smaller dinner than planned, but even so, the day didn't go well because of that.
Food today: egg and cheese on sourdough for breakfast (300 calories), turkey sandwich for lunch (500 calories), dinner was four medium pancakes with some syrup and milk (750 calories), snacks though were too much candy, and then a piece of sourdough roll before dinner (total of 350 calories). Exercise was a lunchtime walk (100 calories).
