Progress Report: Week 6

I feel a bit like a NFL coach right now.  "We feel we have the right players and the right team in place.  We're firing on a cylinders and we're going to win next week. etc, etc"

I felt like last week was a let down; I didn't eat well and my weight loss was zero.  I thought zero weight loss would motivate me to work harder at my diet and produce a much better week.  However, that motivation lasted about as far as Tuesday night.  I still exercised, but my eating didn't get a whole lot better.  However, I did have some positive results this week.

This week I weighed in at 196.0, for a loss of 1.2 pounds this week.  I'm glad, I'm moving in the right direction this week, but it wasn't the "monster" week I was looking for or predicting.

Though I still eat too many calories per day, I am finally feeling like fewer calories is becoming normal.  It is easier to eat smaller portions, feel satisfied at meals with smaller amounts of food and not feel like I am starving all the time or in constant need of a snack.  I am cautiously optimistic that I've made another baby step to a healthier lifestyle.  Here's hoping for another positive week; monster or no.

By the numbers:

Weight lost this week:           1.2 pounds
Percent lost from last week:  0.61%
Total weight lost:                   9 pounds
Total percent lost:                  4.39%
