So we've got five weeks into the diet now. A lot of the different diet sites disagree about when exactly a diet becomes a habit. Some say as little as a couple weeks. Most settle in around the four to six week mark. A couple say it never really happens, since your body maintains a food addiction and just waits for you to fall off the wagon (my own life is an example of the latter). Nonetheless five weeks with only one day that really counts as a "bad" one (and even that wasn't terrible) is a pretty good accomplishment. Today is the 36th day of the diet and I'm still on track. I don't think I'm really losing weight at the same rate as I did 5 years ago...but I'm coming along.
Last week's weekly total: 9,686 points. Not a record, but not a bad total. Would have been even better without the Saturday pig-out at 5 guys.
My weigh-in result: 255.6 pounds. Like last week I managed to lose 1.8 pounds over the week. Still slow, but still trending in the right direction.
Food today: egg and cheese sandwich with multi-vitamin gummi and diet mountain dew for breakfast (247 calories), lunch was a meatball sub, chips and diet coke (690 calories), dinner was Simply Smart chicken tenders with tater tots and diet mountain dew (790 calories), snack was a little bit of peanut butter (100 calories).
Exercise today: 11,000 steps, and then an hour on the exercise bike for 20 miles (641 calories).
