But I've been a good boy in the meantime and continued on my course of eating healthy and exercising more.
It was very difficult right around the birth. I had to plan and budget my calorie intake and exercise. I knew we were inducing on Thursday the 20th so I was sure to exercise harder on the 18th and 19th. I also prepared simple foods at home for the 20th and 21st anticipating I would be running back and forth. On the day of the birth, I brought fruit and nuts, but found I wasn't hungry until evening because of the excitement so my calorie count for the day stayed low. Knowing that I had decent food at home gave me all the will-power I needed to avoid the fast food places on trips back and forth from the hospital.
So this is where I am now.
Here are my weigh ins:
5/8 - 270 lbs
5/15 - 262 lbs
5/22 - 258 lbs
5/29 - 258 lbs
6/5 - 257 lbs
Why the plateau you may ask? I got sick shortly after the baby was born and didn't exercise for a whole week. I think it just held me in limbo. As soon as I started exercising again, another lb came off.
I'm feeling very optimistic that I can continue on this track and reach my goal of 200lbs by Jan 1st. It's very aggressive, but I can do it.
