Last week I failed to finish my first hard 10. It went really well until day 9 when I got lazy and didn’t pack lunch for an event(so I ate lunch off the dayboard) and later found myself with friends in an Applebee’s and made -okay- choices.. but not totally “on-plan” to the point where I could say I kept a “Hard Ten”. I need to figure out how to not “lose it” when I go into a restaurant. Better choices, smaller portions and avoiding empty calorie drinks.<\/p>\n

Other than that the “Hard 10” was great. It totally put me back on track. I think I’ll do it again but in an informal way. The biggest problem is that if I’m in the middle of a “Hard Ten” and people know I’m in the middle of this “Hard Ten” then they feel bad inviting me out to a restaurant. I don’t want that. I mean I don’t want to go out to a restaurant every night.. but I don’t feel that once a week if I make a healthy choice is bad. So.. My plan is to “do a soft ten” Which is.. keep 100% on plan.. but be ok to wiggle to healthy choice no more than one restaurant meal a week.<\/p>\n

So yeah! I’m posting a loss this week. This week I passed a milestone. I now weigh in at ~272 lbs. That’s important for several reasons:<\/p>\n

– That’s double my goal weight (136*2). From now on I have less to lose than my goal weight.
\n – That’s 25% of the total weight I have to lose, gone (318-136)\/4. I am one-quarter of the way done with the “losing” part of my new lifestyle.
\n – That’s (purtydurnclose to) 15% of my initial body weight gone (318-(318*0.15)=270.3)<\/p>\n

In celebration I bought myself a heart monitor :D. Well.. to be honest I bought the monitor last week.. but it’s not here yet.. so it’s totally like a reward at this point.<\/p>\n
