Memorial Day Weekend Stats

Here are my beginning stats as of my weigh-in (on Saturday, May 25th)



Current weight: 295
Previous weight: 294.4
My current short-term goal is to loose 15 to 20 pounds over the next month.


Conclusion: This week was a good week. Even though I gained half a pound, I am still optimistic. We went out to eat a few times this weekend which is normal because we stay on our healthier eating habits throughout the week. However the restaurant selections where a bit hardier than our normal fair. What we did to try to and limit some of the damage is the following (we have pretty much made this part of our eating out routine): We eat half the meal in the restaurant (normally I draw a line and separate the plate visually before I begin to eat). If we are still hungry, then we eat the remainder when we arrive home. This allows for: A) Another small meal at a later time or B) Allows our body the chance to begin processing the first half of the meal before we eat the second half. 


I have noticed that for example when you down all 1,200 calories at one time, your body has a lot of work to do: just to try and digest the amount of food and calories. When we give our body a break (even if it is only an hour or so until we get home) we have a better chance of digesting the food and calories better. 


Can I do better: Yes
Will I do better: Yes
