| Hacker Diet update week 10
Current mood:  awake
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes Well I was hoping to announce that I had broken 300 lbs, alas mother nature has been toying with me and I've been limboing between 300 and 301 for the past 3 days... I guess it's time for my body to readjust, but by next week, I will totally be under 300. So I'm excited anyway.
Quick recap: 40 pounds in 10 weeks.
That's 4 pounds a week. Which I would worry about except for the fact that the first 8 or 10 pound was probably water weight.
I'm definately on the downward trend holding pretty steady now at between 2.75 and 3 lbs a week. Which is nice, it lets me know that I am definately on the right track, and that I Have a good idea of the calories my body uses.
I have a new concern however that as I loose weight, my body will use less calories than it did (less mass = less work). My weight loss will eventually go from a steady slope to a logarythmic trend. So weight will come off slower and slower as I weigh less. This presents two obvious solutions.. 1) Reduce my calories, as I notice my weight loss is slowing, or 2)Excercise to keep the caloric requirement high.
This is something I had thought about when I first began, and so I did put in a failsafe into my plan. The fitness ladder Ok, so I didn't think of the fitness ladder, John Walker did, BUT I did figure to add it into my daily routine when I hit 300 pounds, this will help me to get into better shape, and help use up some of those extra calories. My original thought was to start on rung 1 on the first Sunday after my 300 Mark, wich will be this upcoming Sunday.
Now, I hear a voice in my head saying... "Hey looser! your trend line is still at 305!" And that is true, my trend weight is still 5 pounds above my goal, but I made the decision to use my first under 300 daily averaged weight as a goal. so even if I bobble back above 300 on saturday, I don't care, I already reached that goal, and it's on to the next.
The trend line is there to reassure me that even on days I gain weight, or if I stay the same for 6 days in a row, that on the whole, I am still loosing weight. That's what the trend line is for. The only goal involving the tend line is my final 200 mark goal... meaning I will probably be down to 195 or so before I celebrate the end to the reduced calorie intake, but I have a plan for that as well... the explanation for which will have to wait. (<--doesn't that last bit seem oddly constructed? Hmm I wonder what the proper grammer is here.) and of course.. we have the lovely graph.. I believe this is the first link to the october graph.. so here it is

BTW, I didn't forget about the strip club outing, I just may postpone it a bit, I was planning on a trip to Go-Go-Rama on a saturday, but Delilah's Den is having a Halloween party on the 24th, So I think I hit that one up. It's a Teusday, but any and all are still invited to come on down, just drop me a line and let me know.
