Well that was a shock! I had a steak dinner last night and I still lost weight! After having lost a lot of weight this week I didn't expect to lose weight again, especially after having a steak dinner last night. Imagine my surprise when I got on the scale this morning and I lost 0.5 pounds.

Looking back I realize that there were things I did that contributed to my success. First, I didn't have lunch, so I offset some of the calories I ate last night. Second, I exercised. I rode my recumbent bike for 30 minutes and it felt great. I stayed in the fat burning heart rate zone, zone 2, and that made a difference, I'm sure. Finally, I had a great night of sleep. I slept for a good 8 hours. I can't explain how great I feel today!

I know I have a long way to go but I need to enjoy my victories when I have them, especially when they are so hard won.

Today is going to be a somewhat difficult day, as weekend days almost always are because I am out of my routine and I don't have a good plan for how to attack the day. It is going to be very hot today. I'd like to get outside to exercise, but I'm not sure I will be up for that. We'll see what happens and we'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning!

Wilderness Adventures. 260.7 pounds. -0.8 pounds today, - 0.8 pounds this week, - 5.3 pounds this month, - 19.3 pounds since May 1, - 72.3 pounds from my all-time high of 333 pounds.

I spent the previous 4 days canoeing and portaging in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with family and friends. I burned a ton of calories and I expected to lose weight. That might have happened, had I not also eaten like a king. The 2 people in our party of 5 that planned and cooked the food made food that was both delicious as abundant. I don't know how many calories I burned, but it was a lot. I ate an equal amount of calories and perhaps lost 1 pound over the entire 4 days we were in the wilderness. This trip was magical and I don't regret eating like I did, but now that I am home it is time to lose weight. Today is going to be a day of transition of getting back to my normal life. It is going to be difficult as I don't have a plan. I don't know what today holds, which is scary. We'll see what happens today and we'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning!

I Need To Get Out Of The 260s! 261.5 pounds. + 0.4 pounds today, - 1.2 pounds this week, - 4.5 pounds this month, - 18.5 pounds since May 1, - 71.5 pounds from my all-time high of 333 pounds.

Well, at least I didn't gain a whole pound. Last night I took my daughter out on a little date and we went on a drive to Stillwater, then we drove to our favorite restaurant in St. Croix Falls called Poco Loco. The food there is delicious. I was outside of my eating window as I ate after 5 p.m. I also didn't exercise as I'm trying to have the soreness in the IT band in my left leg go away. Finally, I didn't have a good night of sleep. All of this combined to make me gain weight, but not as much as I thought I would all things considered. Today should be a better day. I have a full day of work and if I can keep from eating after 5 p.m. perhaps I'll lose weight. I won't be exercising and I hope to get a good night of sleep. We'll see what happens today and we'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning!
