down 4.5 lbs from my starting weight of 319 on July 1, 2014
average lost: 0.03 lbs/week
next milestone: 303 lbs (5% loss)
In anticipation of convention eating being problematic at best, I made a point of going lean and rigorously exercising in the week leading up to it. And while I was at MWFF, I tried to make good choices when possible, without obsessing on it. But the unavoidable truth is that in hotels in Chicago? Your dietary choices start at a baseline of "terribad" and go up from there– and there's only so many $5 fruit cups you can snack on.
Also, Friday was so bad (Did I post about this? I don't remember now.) that to cheer myself up I said, "Screw it, I'm having a piece of cheesecake because I love cheesecake and never have it."
Points-wise, I still ended the week ahead of the game by virtue of doing ALL the walking, and so even with four days of junk food I still lost a pound. XD It's a minor victory, but it's a victory all the same, and I'll take it.
Anyway, I'm back home now, and ready to kick butt. For the coming week, I'm going to call 312 a success and 310 my stretch goal. Wish me luck!
