Diet update: week 5
July 10, 2007 @ 01:36 PM
I'ma keep this brief, because I'm hoping to blog about other things later in the day. Also, I missed a week, so this post summarizes both weeks.
Weight (7/9): 190.5 pounds, or 8 pounds lighter than I was two weeks ago. That seems a little high, but I think a lot of the weight I had two weeks ago was water retention and so forth. I've been hovering just above the 190-mark for a couple of days now. The good news is, that means I'm roughly halfway through my diet, as I'm currently shooting for 175 as a cutoff point. The bad news is, the easy half is probably over. :)
Exercise: Has started to improve again. I've started jogging again recently, which helps quite a bit. I've actually managed to jog a little under 5 miles in the last 24 hours - 3.4 miles after work last night, and a 1.3 mile jog with the pup this morning.
Intake: My diet varies more widely from day to day, but I think I'm okay with that. The least number of calories I've consumed in a single day the last two weeks was 950 on the 27th, for no other reason than I wasn't particularly hungry and I hadn't exercised much. The most I've consumed was three days later at 2250, which was a result of Amanda's parents being in town and taking us out to Cosi Cucina for dinner following a long day at the art festival where I partook in gyro goodness. Still, my average intake over the last two weeks has been around 1450 calories per day, which is just about where I want to be.
