People keep coming back to this blog. I guess it is to follow up on my progress. It's wack. I gained 7 pounds since the last time I wrote a post. And the reason is that I took an entire week "off" and just ate whatever I wanted and no exercise and plenty of boozing. And one thing about boozing is that it absolutely does not help you lose weight.
So what is the plan? I am barely hanging on here. The other thing that absolutely does not aid in weight loss is being constantly perturbed by troubles. What can I say, sometimes life is just not that easy. It's a miracle I haven't gone on a blind binge-eating frenzy yet. Sometimes I can't help feel like I just cannot hold on to the goals I set for myself here. Everyday is a constant struggle.
Today I began the day on the dark side. Angry, frustrated, and ready to call it quits on my weight loss goals. But slowly, and with the assistance of some very loud and uplifting music in the sun I have begun to recover a positive view.
As I said before, everyday is a challenge on its own. I cannot let myself be discouraged by yesterday. Only what today brings. Only for a while. While this unstable disposition fades away and I achieve balance.
Until then, I can guarantee one thing: many more setbacks.
But that's okay. As long as the setbacks don't become defeat. And even then, the world won't end. Just maybe this blog will be ended in failure. But I still have two more months to work with.
Good luck to me.

Results for Saturday June 8, 2013 (and for today Saturday June 15, 2013)
[For some reason I overlooked posting this up last weekend. Here it is. By the way, No changes for this weekend. Except only half a pound less. So official weight today 6/15/13: 250 lbs.]
I weighed 250.5 lbs. today.
That's another 1.5 lbs. less than last weekend. I will not promise I can maintain this rate of weight loss or even maintain this weight level for next weekend. It feels like it has cost me a lot more than usual to lose the weight and I feel like taking a break from it all for a while.
Don't know yet. Still mulling it through. We'll see how I feel about it tomorrow and especially on Monday.
Maybe the solution is to change up the methods. I could go with veggies all next week. Or maybe counting calories strictly but eating anything and everything within that allotment of calories per day. One thing is for sure, increasing the exercise effort is not an option at all. But maintaining the level of activity that I have been keeping I think is achievable.
So far it has been 15 lbs. lost since I began this endeavor in mid to late April. Not bad. 18 lbs. to go from here to late August.
Time will tell.

Results for Saturday June 1, 2013
Weight: 252.5 lbs.
1.5 lbs less than last Saturday
Not quite the standard set of 2 pounds a week, but at least it is progress, not stagnation or regression.
Method: Eating high protein, carbs only from veggies, real butter, olive oil, two meals a day with one snack during the day (peanuts), lots of water, and some form of activity that can be considered exercise but that does not involve a gym membership, repetitive and unproductive routines, and none of the "no pain-no gain" torture.
Life is good. Next Saturday's goal: 250.5 lbs. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.
I will!...Hopefully.
