Well another week has come and gone, and let me tell you life has been much better now that I have changed up my diet a bit. I am still able to eat allot of the foods I like, just much smaller portions. The new plan has also proved to be successful; this week I lost another 5.5lbs making the grand total so far about 18.5lbs. I can already tell the difference in my clothes fitting better! If I keep up at this rate, I will be about 218 by Rachaels wedding. I currently weigh 288.5 so that would be about another 70 lbs in the next 4.5 months.
Last week as luck would have it, my company had a team of Nutritionists and health professionals come in as part of our annual medical screening, so I went down and paid them a visit. It was very insightful, here are some of the numbers: My Blood Pressure = 124/72 which is pretty good, my body fat is 33.8% which is bad but not as bad as I thought it would be, my goal is to get it around 20%. My Cholesterol was less than 100 which was good and my blood glucose was at 94 which means I am not in any immediate danger of getting diabetes. All this info was very informative, but what I found most interesting was my conversation with the nutritionist there. I told her my current plan for my diet and she gave me some pointers. She said the 1500 cals is ok for another week or two but then I should ramp it up to about 1800. She said to keep up the exercise and try and eat more fiber. So I have been trying to follow her advice. I am still right around 1500 cals a day for the next week or two but will soon go to 1800.
I am still doing my cheat meal once a week, however; this past weekend was a little bad. I did not go to to crazy but I had some Venezias Pizza on Friday and then we went to Gecko Grill on Saturday. Now we only went to Gecko as one last date before the baby comes and I was still pretty healthy. I only had some chips and salsa and two flour tortillas with a little beans, no cheese.
I am still feeling as motivated as ever. I appreciate all the comments and advice everyone is leaving. Next week is the big picture day. I know all of you have been excited about this..... I hope we will see a difference!
