Week Two: The loss report
Amanda and I have been weighing ourselves every Sunday -- and as she's down with the flu, coughing and moaning and trying not to speak, it falls to me to do this week's report.
Last Sunday:
Joe - 219.8 lbs.
Amanda - 193.4 lbs
Today:
Joe - 216.00 lbs.
Amanda - 191.0 lbs.
Net loss:
Joe - 2.8 lbs.
Amanda: 2.4 lbs.
Amanda says she thinks her weight loss this week was due primarily to getting sick toward the end, not eating much of anything and laying in bed for two days coughing and drinking water.
Joe realizes he's not going to the gym nearly as much as Amanda and theorizes that his weight loss is due primarily to giving up soda and crap food, eating more fruits and vegetables.
Week two by the numbers:
5-9 fruits/veggies every day: 4 days for Amanda, 6 for Joe
Exercise: 3 days for both Amanda and Joe
Cheats: Valentine's Day dinner (including dessert and booze), ice cream one night this week.
Sugar soda: None.
This week's goals:
Last week Amanda wanted to curb snacking after 8 p.m. This week she's just hoping for healthier snacking during the day.
Last week Joe wanted to get to the gym more often. This week, having gone only 3 days, he wants to push it to five.
