So it’s been three weeks since I started my diet. Overall, my progress is decidedly so-so. Last week wasn’t the easiest time for a diet, since I ate most meals out and thus couldn’t really count calories. But here are some basic stats.

Weight (6/25): 198.5 pounds, which is up 2 pounds from 6/25’s low of 196.5. However, I actually managed to gain ~three~ pounds before I left for Seattle, meaning I was still able to lose a pound while noshing predominately on restaurant foods. I’m pretty okay with that.

Exercise: Worst week ever. I averaged around 200 extra calories burned a day. That average is sucked down by two exercise-less days: Wednesday due to 12 hours of travel on my way out to Seattle, and Sunday due to 11 hours of travel on the way back. The only exercise I got on the days between was walking around the city. I’m glad Justin lived a mile and a half from the convention center, or that average would have been a lot lower.

Intake: Also a pretty damn bad week, although the numbers are a little fuzzy because I had to estimate pretty much everything. I’m saying I consumed just over 1500 calories a day on average, but most of those calories were carb-heavy, and as such, more willing to turn into fat. Over 2000 of those calories came from alcohol alone. ;)

So my goal for this week is to get back to 196 or so. It’s going to be tough, as my diet of late as gotten a little more calorie-heavy, yet my exercise has also decreased. I’m going to have to do something about one or the other… I just don’t yet know which.

Oh, and I plan to blog about Seattle very soon, just not this moment. Probably tomorrow afternoon sometime.
