10 pounds

WEIGH IN: After 2 discouraging weeks of gaining weight, I made up for it this week by loosing 4 pounds from last week. Even more inspiring is that I have now lost a total of 10.1 pounds from where I started, at 282.9! Today I weigh 272.8 pounds! What I have learned from this is that sticking to my diet is the most important thing I can do to loose weight, with exercise being secondary. I fell off from exercising this week due to some busy mornings, but I stuck to my diet pretty closely all week long. Now I just need to rinse and repeat. It will be difficult this week because I am traveling. But the hotel has a pool and I’m bringing my swimsuit.

EXERCISE: Today I rode Sally and recorded the stats from my ride. I rode 4.3 miles in 15 minutes. My top speed was 24.3 mph and my average speed was 14.8 mph. I burned 250.1 kcal.

DIET: I took my practitioner’s advice and added silken tofu to my smoothie for additional protein this morning. I’ve also been adding spirulina to my smoothies. Today I made sesame skillet tofu. It was good but I wish I had cut the tofu into smaller pieces. Both meals were on diet. I plan to snack on fruit and nut butter in a little bit, as I am still feeling hungry.

ACCOUNTABILITY: I am still reading Food for Thought and praying about my diet and weight loss.
