If you recall, I gained 4 pounds last weigh in day. Then I followed it up with 4 more pounds gained last Thursday which put me at 383 pounds. Well, today was my redemption day...sorta. I weighed in at 377.somethingorother. Officially for the contest, it was a loss of 1.4 pounds, but with the extra 4 pounds gained after, I really lost over 5 pounds. I didn't hit my goal of being at 369 on July 1st, but thats ok. Twenty pounds in my first month is a great start. My goal for August 1st is to be at 359, a total of about 18 pounds lost for July.
Now let me talk about today. Had late breakfast of fiber oatmeal and a banana. For lunch, a lean pocket, veggie crackers and some watermelon. Snacks at work were a 70 calorie dark chocolate bar and fiber one snack bar. Crystal made taco type stuff for dinner. I ate probably too much, but had turkey taco meat with refried beans on tostadas. These were topped with lettuce, tomato, black olives and shredded cheese. I watched Jillian Michael's tv show and got a little more inspiration. Too bad it came after I ate too much. Considering the few calories at work, I don't feel too bad about dinner. At 9pm me and the family went for a one mile walk. This actually turned into a 75% walk 25% jog for me. I have always read to not jog any until I lost more weight due to impact on the ankles and knees. They were right. I made the mile walk in 20 minutes, so that is 3 miles per hour. Not bad for my size. My left ankle and knee ache already. I am pretty sure I have a mild stress fracture in my left leg. My right hip, the one that bugs me at times, is yelling at me right now. But this won't get me down or keep me from doing it again tomorrow. I may even jog a little again if I am better...but I doubt it. I keep threatening that I am starting my food journal again and today I did. That's all I got for today. We'll have to do this again tomorrow. G'night!
