I tipped the scale at 209lbs on Saturday. That means I have 20 pounds to go before I am in the "healthy weight" according to the BMI. That is pretty much my new goal, 189 or thereabouts.
I have a long way to go, because you figure on a good week I lose 1 pound, on a better week I lose 3....and on a shitty week I stay about the same (which happened 2 weeks ago).
But I'm actually really enjoying dieting. I'm eating less food but I'm eating meals more frequently. I've been eating consistent breakfasts which has seemed to really help. I have more energy overall. Also, since I'm no longer in the business of stuffing myself till I am uncomfortably full...I haven't felt uncomfortably full.
It's weird because I don't miss a lot of the unhealthy foods that I ate frequently...chips, cookies, soda (partially because you can supplement this with 0 calorie carbonated water). I do miss beer though. Beer and chocolate. I mean damn, I really miss beer.
At least with chocolate you can still eat it, just sparingly or in pseudo-healthy ways (fiber bars/granola bars).
Once I hit my goal I'm having a beer.
Anyway, I also went to a pretty decent sushi place. This isn't all that big of news except that this sushi place is right across the street from where I live, so I can literally walk out of my place and go get yummy sushi. And the sushi was pretty good. I LOVE ginger and wasabi!
