Day 45 -- Still 23 pounds gone
2-14-07
264/242/200 Day 45 and still 23 pounds gone Got on my scale today and saw that I had not lost any more weight. Oh, well! Time will pass and the weight will come off. As Dr. Faustus said in Marlowe's "Tragical History of Dr. Faustus": "The stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike, the devil will come, and Faustus must be damned." Well, I'm probably not going to see the devil in the near run (and I don't think I did anything this week to single me out for damnation) but there is a clear inevitability to the passage of time. In a 150 days I'm going to be 150 days older - I might as well be 150 days healthier. I got back quite late last night - at least for me (9 PM) - and did not have a chance to walk before bed. My behavior is now shaped up fairly well. No emotional turmoil over limiting my calorie intake, no feeling of outrage that I'm limiting my food choices, etc. I'm still keeping my calories well below my maintenance intake - maybe about 1500 calories yesterday. At 1500 calories a day and using a weight base rate of 200 pounds (this weight understates my weight deficit), I would lose about the following amount of weight in the following days (they are in 5 day intervals). Day Lbs Scale weight Lost 5 1.6 240 10 3.1 239 15 4.7 237 20 6.3 236 25 7.9 234 30 9.4 233 35 11.0 231 40 12.6 229 45 14.1 228 50 15.7 226 55 17.3 225 60 18.8 223 65 20.4 222 70 22.0 220 75 23.6 218 80 25.1 217 85 26.7 215 90 28.3 214 95 29.8 212 100 31.4 211 105 33.0 209 110 34.5 207 115 36.1 206 120 37.7 204 125 39.3 203 130 40.8 201 135 42.4 200 140 44.0 198 145 45.5 196 150 47.1 195 My target is 200 pounds (or slightly less) will be reached in about 145 pounds on this intake level. At 1200 calories a day, I would reach the high 190's in about 110 days. I think I'd rather do it more quickly than more slowly and so I will try to nudge my calorie intake down to 1200 a day. Looking at these numbers helps remind me of the behaviors I need to reach my goals. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day, and a great rest of the week! Yours truly, Caleb |
