Today, I just didn’t care, so I cheated…a bit. I had some crackers. I had a Clif Bar. But I did a half hour workout on the treadmill, so it wasn’t all just indulgence. I paid for my sins in sweat.
I was down this morning by 0.3 pounds. This meant I did not end the month at a total weight loss for the year to date, but I am closer than I’ve been in a long time.
A few stats from my two-week snack-free experiment:
- I lost exactly two pounds if you go from Day 1 to Day 14, from 174.1 to 172.1 pounds.
- If you track from my highest to lowest weights during the same period I lost 3.7 pounds.
- If you do the same for the month, I lost 5.2 pounds.
The bottom line is the last two weeks have kept me on a steady downward track with my weight and I’m lower in weight now than I have been in many months. It would be foolish to not continue, so starting tomorrow, I’ll begin tracking September’s 30 days and see how it goes.
This may mean I have to skip a birthday cake on my birthday. Maybe I’ll have a brownie instead and work it off on a run.
