Finally moving the right direction

The scale started dropping again Monday morning. I've made it down to 171 but that may be short lived. Fun filled weekend ahead of me (did you get the sarcasm?). So it's Easter weekend and that means a big dinner at Mom's house and she always has too much good food. Also I have a birthday party to attend, and a graduation. I'm sure the menu will be loaded with healthy foods there also...

The good news. Micro-Biology is over! So my sweet little girlfriend will no longer be stressed out and we might have time to actually eat better. Honestly dinner before 10pm every night will be an improvement.

So I've hit my goal weight for the month. Just wish I didn't have 10 days to screw it up. Wish either Bryce or Kristy would mess up so I got some breathing room.

Not easy to lose weight when your gf has gone off her diet. You can only watch someone eat so much chocolate before you take a piece or 20 yourself. She claims she will be back on her diet after next week. Why next week? Well her Micro-Biology class will finally be over giving her more time in the evenings to cook healthier foods. Now you might be saying why don't you just cook Tow. Well that would be because all I can do is BBQ and I'm not that great at that. It's for everyones safety I promise.

So I still have 1 pound to lose in 2 weeks, 3 hiking/picture trips to take in 6.5 weeks.

I think I've lived up to the creating a blog and posting about my diet parts.

Fatty out.

I blame the TV for my fat ass.

Fulfilling one of my requirements for this months weight loss competition.

My goals for this month are:
1. Lose at least 1lb
2. Create a blog to post about my efforts
3. Continue my hiking and picture taking trips
4. And blog about how my diet is going

Thanks to a wonderful flu. I've lost the lb. I have a feeling it's not going to stay off as soon as I'm feeling better. I have created my blog (you're reading it). I haven't made it out to hike yet, I still need to get in 3 trips by the end of next month. Yard work is taking priority over hiking adventures atm. I plan on changing that this weekend, even if it's just a short trip.

So to blog about my diet...
I've continued to follow a healthier diet but the weight loss has really crawled to a halt. I've been maintaining a weight around 172 lbs. I'm not really concerned about the end of the month because I've found that if I really buckle down and watch my intake for 3-4 days at the end of the month I can easily drop that last lb. However, this does not make the next month any easier. To make this challenge easier on myself I should have started off a lot slower. However, 19 lbs in the first 6 weeks felt pretty freaking awesome too.

This Flu is kicking my butt so I'm not even sure how coherent this post is going to be so I'm off to take a nap and I'll update my progress at least once before the end of the month. Or maybe I'll enjoy talking about myself so much I'll update it more....who knows.
