Well, I haven't written anything on here for a couple of weeks. I had all the best intentions of trying to keep this up. But I guess you can say I was rather disappointed. Last week, when I did my weigh-in, I had only lost two pounds. Now I know that most people would be happy with this. But I had lost at total of 10 lbs in the two weeks prior to that on the 4 hour body(which BTW I'm still on). So when I took a good hard look at what could have been the major contributor to the lack luster weight loss progress. I discovered that the root cause was my lack of a schedule(that's the Bad). Monday of last week I started my new job working for a company that is new to the area! My new position is actually a promotion over my last positions(the good now). But once I started my new job, I found that the schedule and the long hours had created a few challenges to my eating schedule. I wasn't eating my 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. I was waiting too long to eat in between meals. And I just simply wasn't drinking enough water.
So, I continued on with he week, and had my binge day on Saturday like always. I know I ate a lot more this past binge day than I did the previous two. I gained 8 lbs in one day! That's right 8 lbs! Now Timothy Ferris says that this is normal and you will lose that weight. And you know what...I did! And then some.
This week I worked on getting back to my regular eating schedule. And I have to admit that I had to deviate at times. But I tried to stay true to it. I still need to work at drinking enough water, and getting my eating schedule down. But I'm satisfied with this weeks progress. My weigh in his morning was 319.2 lbs. I have lost a total of 16 lbs since I started the diet. Is 20 lbs doable in one month? Absolutely! I would say that I could have lost more than 20 had my eating and drinking schedule stayed true to form. But what makes me feel even better is the fact that this week I lost the 8 lbs that I put on from binging, plus I lost an additional 4 lbs from the week before.
And so, it has been a very busy two weeks at work getting things set-up with the contractors. Getting the lighting, wiring, plumbing, cement work, new compressor, new vendors, an just about anything else you can think of set-up. As a company in Windsor, we don't have anything! Well, we have a building, and we have equipment coming. But as far as suppliers for anything that would be used in the facility on a daily basis...there is very little that we have. And there lies one of my responsibilities. Getting multiple quotes from vendors and suppliers. I've been spending a lot of time with sales people. And just as much time with the skilled trades in the building. And to add to my excitement, the first phase of the equipment is showing up next week. And I will have a very limited time frame to get everything unloaded on time. But for me, my biggest challenge for those two to three days will be eating on time, as well as drinking enough water. So, wish me luck. I'm starting my third week of work, and the fifth week of my diet. Lets see if I can keep true to my eating schedule, and drinking enough water, to drop the 20 lbs that I had hoped for this past month.
As Tigger would say...TTFN!
