Week 41

2.22% loss this week. Four week floating average is at 1.34% loss.

Yeah, that's what I thought. A week of nothing in spite of good habits = a huge loss the following week. I don't think I'm destined for nice, even weight loss for a while. Once I get closer to my goal weight and start slowly increasing my calories, I'm hoping for more moderate, consistent losses.

I just finished a big breakfast of fried potatoes with mushrooms, scallions, red peppers, ham & eggs (410 calories for a huge plate of food).

Lunch is going to be kind of a splurge. When I got home from work last night, Jeff was making hamburgers on the George Foreman, and they smelled wonderful, so I'm having a cheeseburger & salad for lunch. Originally I was going to use a ciabatta roll (look for a post about those tomorrow) for the bun, but I'd rather have one with dinner, so I'm just going to slap the patty on top of the salad ( 371 calories).

Dinner will be leftover minestrone soup with a little ham thrown in for protein, a roll, an apple, and a couple rolls of Smarties (368 calories).

I still have about 150 calories left for the day, and I need to get some protein, but I've hit my limit on fat. I don't think I'll be able to get any exercise today unless we stay home instead of going to see my Dad. We'd all rather go see him, but I haven't talked to him yet this morning, so I don't know if he's up for visitors.
