Pound a Week–Week 15

     
Baseline: 301.9
Two Weeks Ago: 286.7
This Week: 286.6
Change This Week: +0.1
Total Change: -15.3

What to say? I skipped last week because I hadn’t been weighing myself daily, partially because I was at a conference for most of the weeks but really because I was feeling pretty unmotivated. I don’t know why. And of course, the whole point of my posting this publicly is/was to keep myself both honest and motivated, so how’s that working out for me?

This past week I have been much more active again, although not nearly as active as I need to be. I started weighing myself again six days ago, and had gained 2 1/2 lbs since the previous weigh in. Some of that might be just normal daily fluctuations in weight, which I try not to worry about, but I am confident that most of it was me gaining back weight due to lack of exercise and motivation. Probably the true story is that I gained about two pounds in the previous week, and I lost those two pounds again this week. So hey, that’s something approaching success, right?

At this point I have leveled out to my stated progress goals: at 15 weeks I have lost 15 pounds. Now I need to just keep working away at it to stay on track. I assume I’ll have another crisis of motivation again (or two, or three), but damn it I fully intend to fit into my winter jeans by the time the Florida weather gets cold enough to require not wearing shorts every day.

About Shmoolok

The word "shmoolok" is a mashup of the longtime computer handles for my wife and myself ("Shmooby" and "Lokheed", respectively).

I originally created this website to be a place for my family to connect, but it has since grown into something a little different.

As for me -- I am a father, a husband, a son, a software developer, and a writer. On any given day I am not sure how good I am at any of those particular things, but I do try my best.

Thank you for visiting my website.
