No loss this week

Well...I don't have anything good to say for myself other than that I only gained 4/10 of a pound. I have to shop for groceries to keep stocked with healthy food. I ended up getting really busy with classes and did not buy. I ate things that were not healthy enough. My Nintendo Wii is broken and I really did enjoy working out with Wii fit. It has been carefully bundled and sent to Nintendo. They have agreed to fix it in ten days. Oh! the agony!

I'm grocery shopping tomorrow and I'm excited to start anew. I did lose inches, one inch to be exact. This week was not a total loss.

13.2 pounds, 11 inches, 3.1 body fat percentage points lost this week. Did I do something special? No. I was actually bad one day. I ate pizza. It makes me wish that I had been good all week long because I could have possibly done better. The reason for my recent binges is the final exam from my math class. I made the mistake of taking a 4 week math class during the summer to make my schedule livable for fall. I still don't know if I passed it. I had a B going into the final exam but the final exam was weighted heavily and I was unable to finish in the time allotted or to check my work. I've been kind of a wreck thinking about it all. I've started another class now that I expect to be a ton of work. The subject interests me. The home-school connection. I want to effectively communicate with parents.

I should probably clue you in that I've been eating less cheese and probably more fat. I'm going toward a more Atkins like model. So far, so good. I don't know why Atkins got such a bad name. With each study, he is vindicated. It is the only diet I know of that has changed the lives of people I know, long term. They never went back to their normal patterns, they are skinny, healthy and have great cholesterol numbers. Check it out.

First ten pounds

That's right. I've finally lost 10 lbs. It's taken six weeks to do it. I've lost 9 inches. My body fat percentage is down 4.1%. I'm eating when I'm hungry and I'm doing it all while going to college. College has been extremely stressful and I've gained twenty pounds since entering three years ago. I have ten more to go until I've undone my college damage. Then I can begin to attack my kid stress weight.
