Day 24 of 100 Days to Thanksgiving
Day 24 of 100 Days to Thanksgiving
September 7, 2005 253/239/195 Got on my scale about 30 minutes ago and see that another pound has gone - so now I'm 239 and quite close to 238. 14 pounds gone in 24 days. I had about 1800 calories yesterday - I came back at midday and ate something for lunch I shouldn't have, and also had chili and crackers after a live cable TV show last night. (I got back home about 10:15 p.m.) Also because of the show, I didn't exercise. But today I will be going up my hill with my pack on. Superstitious conditioning is a real problem with dieting, I think. In this instance, looking at the pound lost and at my eating and exercise behavior yesterday, one could come to the (wrong) conclusion that the weight loss is due to my eating more and not exercising. But I know that this is wrongheaded reasoning. Weight loss and maintenance of weight loss is something that takes place over a long period of time - not simply a day or two, and for me, until yesterday, I had engaged in daily exercise. Also, in spite of 1800 calories yesterday, I still am substantially below the number of calories I need to maintain my weight - probably a bit more than 3000. At any rate, if I deviate from what I have been doing in the past because of a temporary one-day loss, that would be a big mistake. (But I think I will need to deviate a bit this weekend if I am going to have a successful hiking trip. A few more calories on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, I think.) As the Hash House Harriers running group says, "On! On!" I hope everyone has a successful day, week, month, and season ahead! Yours, Caleb |

Caleb, I am sincerely happy for your repeat of annual success and have an idea. Why don't you post to us once a month after you reach goal with your weight, activity and feelings throughout the coming year. i personally would get great pleasure over hearing that you are able to protect your fantastic weight loss and it would give you some small accountability. -- Diva ***** Discipline is Liberation |
