Doug's week 5 status report - still hanging in there
Hi, people. Just thought I'd drop by and mention that I'm still
sticking with it. Today is the end of 5 weeks on my renewed diet. Thing are going... ok. My rate of weight loss is disappointingly slow, but I *have* lost weight, going from 126.4 kg on 7/1 to exactly 123.0 kg this morning. So that's a total of 3.4 kg = 7.5 lb down so far. That averages to just 1.5 lb/week. I guess that is ok if you are thinking in the long term. It's just that at my weight I thought I would lose a bit more. My average daily calories per day so far, over the weeks, have been hovering in the 1700 to 1800 range. Because of the 1,000 "bonus calories" I can distribute throughout the week, sometimes I have more and sometimes less. I do think I need to increase exercise. I notice definite improvements in weight loss on days I merely walk to the station and back. If Tao was still alive I would be doing multiple dog walks a day... On another note, my father is doing very poorly, so I will leave for a family visit to Boston next Tuesday. I might be there for a couple of months. I think it should actually be easy to stay on my diet there. There is a huge variety of low-calorie meals to choose from. I'll keep people posted. If anybody is in the Boston area, maybe we can get together for a healthy meal while I'm there. doug |
