Just 4 Today logoJust 4 Today, I’ll drink my fiber twice (done once), drink 2 liters of water (about 1/2), walk 5 miles (3415 — Yesterday: 5.46), NOT eat between meals & NOT take seconds.

Friday is my official weighing day.  That’s the day I started tracking every single thing in Nutribase, so (even though I weigh myself everyday) this is the day that counts when I track how much I’m losing a week.  And I’ve lost 2.5 pounds this week — 7.5 pounds in the last 2 weeks!  And even The Hacker’s Diet is reporting that I’ve got a calorie deficit of just a little over 1000 calories a day.  I’m hoping I can keep up this 2 pounds a week (or so) pace for the next 6 weeks (that’s when Big Brother starts.)

I know it seems dramatic.  But, I’m tracking everything I eat — and I’m not starving!  I think the fiber helps.  I’m taking my fiber supplement but also eating gallons of vegetables (jammed into my sandwich and at dinner.)

I know I can’t keep this 2-pound-a-week pace going forever.  But I’m enjoying it while it lasts.  Maybe I could weigh 120 pounds by the end of September?

And here’s my new toy.  I’m particpating in the Beta version of The Hacker’s Diet Online, in addition to logging every single thing I do into Nutribase.  And as soon as I get the nerve, I’ll post my chart here for everyone to see.  If you’re interested in participating follow the link.  The instructions are right on the page.  It’s fun to watch that moving average fall.

Monday was a hard day, I just never really woke up — almost to the point of being dizzy (so I got my walking in, but never made it back to visit here). I guy at work felt the same way, but he had a horse fall on him last Friday — and I don’t think that’s catchy!
