I was hoping that last week's first weigh-in reflected water retention, but I was wrong. I worked my ass off this week. And I lost 2 lbs. I only had one bad day (too much alcohol). I also worked out 6/7 days. So, I'm happy for the 2 lb. loss, and hoping it'll be another two by next week.
I used that metabolism website link, and calculated my resting and maintenance levels of calories, that was a surprise!! (I'm only allowed 1650ish to maintain... no wonder.) Then I did as it suggested, staying between my resting level and my maintenance level.... apparently it worked, since I lost the two pounds. So, I recommend that to all. I kept a diary of all the food I ate, and read labels. I've done diets before so, I know calories of food pretty well from memory, or at least a close estimation. Try it!
MARK ME DOWN AT 160.

nice job boom boom. Really proud of you, and a little jealous. After my first brutal PT day there was no way i could exercise more than every other day at best. Sarah and I did not keep our commitment to do Plyos and went to Batman instead. OOOOPS.
I moved some furniture around the house this weekend for exercise. Oh, I also watched Batman and drank a big Sapporro too. I plan to buy a bike helmet today/tomorrow so I can resume riding.
p.s., I played one game of bocce on Friday. Do you actually burn extra calories from this sort of "sport"?
boom boom, so jealous. . .nice work though, i on the otherhand am pitching the scales in the opposite direction, i have gained a mysterious half pound. i miss my daily rations of red meat, beer, and hot cheetos. this is going to take some serious work.
Yeah man, I'm determined. I've had this extra 15 pounds for about 3 years now, and I'm sick of it. I love hot cheetos... when i was in colombia my after school snack was coke and cheetos with my roomie. I do think that alcohol really affects my weight though. So hard to give it up in the summer... well, ever.
