Things are looking better this week. Yay for boomeranging weight loss!

Weight: I was at 177 pounds this morning, which is down a full 5.5 pounds from last week. Of course, I was over-inflated due to an unusually large excess of carbs and so forth, so that weight came off fast. And I’m betting I was dehydrated this morning, as I lost two pounds in the night and I don’t really feel like I earned them mowing the lawn.

Exercise: Pitiful! I averaged under 300 calories/day burned. Two days last week, I did nothing more strenuous than shower. I didn’t jog once last week, either, primarily due to really crappy weather (either raining, or 95 degrees, or raining AND 95 degrees). Come to think of it, some of my weight loss might actually be muscle loss. If so, I’ll end up with an annoyingly small weight loss (or even a small weight gain) this coming week, because I’m hoping to get back into a regular workout schedule again, starting with lap swimming in a few minutes.

Intake: I’ve managed to behave generally well, here. I had a burrito from El Aguila one night to celebrate the last day of my Spanish class, but I saved half of it for lunch the next day. I went to the State Fair, too, but limited myself to a pork chop and water for the evening (and that, my friends, is willpower). My low-ish intake this week is probably the only thing that saved my diet. Well, that and my atrophying muscles. Go them.

Weight-wise, all this means I’m only two pounds from my goal, with two weeks left to go (my original, arbitrarily determined goal was 30 pounds in 12 weeks). Even with a bit of muscle gain and a weight-gain rebound to compensate for my weight-loss rebound, I just might be able to make it. Yay a second time!
