Tuesday roundup 5/6/08
Morning weight: 233.2
Exercise: none
Food: eh. not excellent, not horrible.
Comment: I think this is the result of the high-calorie weekend. Probably too much to ask that it be muscle gain...

Monday roundup 5/5/08
Morning Weight: 232.2
Exercise: I could barely move all day. Simply exhausted.
Food: not bad. some things I shouldn't have eaten (chocolate) other things good (veggie /tofu)

Sunday roundup 5/4/08
Morning Weight: 231.8
Exercise: Went for a jog, ran three sets of stairs, a few sun salutes. ETA: Dancing for a couple hours in the evening! So fun! So late!
Food: Instructed in new possibilities for my submersible blender: fresh fruit, soy yogurt and whatever else I throw in (protein powder?). Quite exciting! On the downside - more chocolate cookies and croissants. ETA: super high calorie dinner. I'm sure I'll see that tomorrow on the scale. Yup, there it is.
Comments: yeah, the sugar snacks upped my poundage there by .6 over yesterday.

Saturday roundup 5/3/08
Morning Weight: 231.2
Exercise: None to speak of. I intended to go running in the morning, but it was raining and I had cramps. So, other than doing chores, mostly I sat around inside.
Food: Impulse buy of chocolate cookies. On the other hand - choose a Mediterranean influenced dinner (falafel, hummus, parsley..) instead of pizza.

The Basics
Loosing weight through healthy eating and exercise. That's the idea, any way.
Age: 36
Current weight: 231
Max weight ever: 236
Goal weight #1: 199 under 200!
Goal weight #2: 180 where I've spent the majority of my life. If I get back here and stay here, that would be great.
Goal weight #3: 150 apparently I could be 130 with my bone structure, but 150 seems unobtainable enough.
How did I go from 180 to 230+? Two separate rounds of significant diet changes that were not supposed to be diets to loose weight, but simply a quest for "healthier eating". But as far as my metabolism knew, they were diets, and it responded accordingly. Rapid weight loss lead to rapid weight gain when the eating returned to "normal". Also, a shift from lots of dancing to sitting in class for grad school and eating out a lot more.
How will I go from 230+ back to 180? Reintroducing regular exercise, controlling food portions and contents, and drinking more water. 1-2 pounds a week is the weight-loss sweet spot.
