Today’s weight: 196.7 lbs. This week’s target weight was 192 lbs. I am 4.6 lbs. behind schedule. This week I lost .4 lbs.

I am putting too much pressure on myself in expecting to lose one pound per week. And so I am changing my weight loss goal to a half pound per week. Next week I hope to be at 196.2.

When I started losing weight on May 23rd of this year, I weighed 214.6 lbs. I have lost 17.4 lbs. since then.

Back in mid-September, when June and I went to the Tomato Fest at Carmel, we stopped loading the van for the Kona route ourselves. It took two hours each day to load the van and we had done that four days a week for over 15 months. It just occurred to me that I started having a tougher time losing weight sometime after we stopped loading the van.

I need to increase my activity to help make up for not loading the van. I think I’ll exercise twice per day on four days of the week, and up my calories exerted from 500 on those days to 1,000. I still enjoy exercising much more than dieting.
