So the vast majority of my "diets" over the last couple years have been lucky to last a week. This one's up to three weeks and I'm doing pretty well. The combination of a big reward (I'm starting to settle on a home theater system) and the potential penalty of water balloons is really keeping me on track.
For those hoping to water balloon me, my weekly total for week three: 8711 points.
Better luck next time. It was my lowest total so far (the other weeks each broke 9000), and looking at the numbers I can see why. The exercise schedule only allotted three bike rides, and four of the days broke the 2000 calorie mark for food for the day. It's those bad food days I've really got to get a handle on, subtract the exercise days and I'd be getting hit with balloons. Admittedly, going over that mark by 100-200 calories isn't a big deal, but it's still not a recipe for maximum scoring.
Now for the weigh in result: 259.2 pounds. I've lost 14.2 pounds since the start of the diet!
Today was otherwise a pretty good day. I kept to the diet well. I rode the bike for an hour. I even ate a particularly healthy dinner (though lunch was a little sketchy). All in all it was a pretty good day. If I can keep up this rate for another few months, I might be finally back to where I was before my injury. Though my running's still going to need a lot of work.
Food today: breakfast was honey nut cheerios, milk and light lemonade (390 calories), lunch was the Subway 6-inch meatball sub with chips and diet coke (690 calories), dinner was grilled sockeye salmon (from the outdoor grill), butter noodles and green beans (544 calories), snack was some random handfuls of cheerios (110 calories).
Exercise today: an hour on the bike again (580 calories), plus 12,500 steps.
