Week 2 Update

March 28
Day 15
Weigh In:   345.5lbs
To goal:         95.5lbs

So I'm down 10 pounds from where I started.  It sure came off quick.  I've got to stack two normal days together so that I can have Easter be a "normal" day.  I'm a little worried about gaining from all of the extra eating days.  Hopefully I wont undo any of the work that I've been doing.  Saturday will be a fast day, so that'll be good.

I ate a little too much today, due to some bad circumstances.  I had to get some blood work done before I went to work, so I couldn't eat breakfast at home.  I was hungrier than normal since the day before was a fast day, and I had to abstain from eating everything from 7pm onwards.  I ended up getting some fast food, and I'm sure I had at least 1000 calories.  I wasn't planning on doing anything special for lunch, but I was invited out with some coworkers to a Mexican restauraunt, and I'm sure I ate way too much.  I had a fairly sensible dinner of sandwiches and an orange.  Unfortunately, my wife pulled out a big bag of M&Ms later in the night, and I ate way too many.  It's amazing how much easier it is to have self control when you have the hard limits of a fast day.  It's almost as if there is some freedom in the restrictions.

Looking at my health so far, I still feel pretty normal.  My pants are definitely feeling a little too big.  I had to make a new notch in my belt, as it was a little too lose.  I don't notice much change in the mirror, but the scale doesn't lie, and I AM losing.  I'm really looking forward to getting past Easter and back on to my new normal ADF schedule.

Going forward, I think I need to make and follow some hard standards for when I have to have extra normal days.  We'll find out at my next post fast day weigh in on Sunday if too much of my hard work was undone.
