Well the last couple days have been frustrating for me on the weight loss front. I have been stalled at around 266lbs. I actually broke the 265 range before this, but somehow the last 4 days has not allowed me to lose any more. I have been doing exercise, and of course golfing and the driving range, all of which adds physical fitness side and burn calories. I think one of my issues is I see that I am working out so I eat a bit more. BUT my calorie intake is still less than my calorie burn so technically I should be losing weight. I know it can be something as simple as water retention that is creating this, and I have had the same thing happen a week or so, but still to see progress on a regular bases and then not see anything for a few days makes me wonder if it is worth it. I know I know I know it is, but I am speaking from a motivational stand point. I know that the first few days my body adjusted to the lower calories and in the first week it allowed me to lose 9 lbs. They say .5-2lbs is what one should lose a week, and I guess this week I am down 1 lb from 7 days ago which is that range, and I should be happy I am losing weight even if it is only 1 lb. I know this is going to be a marathon and not a sprint. My expectations are still too loose 35 lbs by the time I head to the reunion in Ontario on the 10 July. So I need to lose 12 pounds by 9 July. That’s 33 days, so I must lose 1/3 of a pound a day. I need to buckle down and make it happen. I guess I just made the first step to making it happen!
I golfed yesterday and it was the best game so far this season, although my score was 106 it was still good. My drive is frustrating me, and even though I have been at the driving range 3 times this week, I have not been able to correct many faults. I would my irons have improved and my putting is getting better. My Short game has really improved. If I had to peg how many strokes I screwed up yesterday it would be probably 20 and of the score I had at least 5 penalty strokes. So If I can improve my next game by 20% I should be able to shave 5 strokes off. My goal yesterday was 105 and below. I missed it by 1 so my next games goal will be 104. I think I can do it!
I booked my flights yesterday for my trip to Ontario. I booked 3 flights all in business class for less than a price of 1 seat in business class normally! I saved 230% on the overall cost. Not bad eh. I guess I am spoiled in that I hate travelling in economy in the smaller seats. However now that I am losing weight, maybe economy won't be as uncomfortable. I will be in Ontario for 10 days so I should expect to put a lil weight back on, but I will try and control my calorie intake and do some exercise (TRY). We do have golf planned during that time but also several BBQs and parties. And let’s not forget moms home cooking! Well I guess I will just have to take longer walks at night, or go to the gym on base and work out. Unless I lose more than 15 lbs and then that will be my treat to eat normally and if I put a lb or two back on it won’t be that bad! haha always the planner!
