It's not like I've been slacking. I have been working but not as hard as I could be. I got sick after my surgery, followed by some emotional upheavals and a migraine ... well I am up rather than down. However I am now back on track. This week I am merely fasting. I reduce my caloric intake to 1000 calories a day for 1 week, and ad exercise. I DO NOT recommend it for any longer than a few days. Next week I am back on my Diet Royale™ plan -- full throttle.

I think I lost my footing because my goal of a dress size was sort of hindered by failure of something to get with the program. However an event has come up and I ordered a dress that is a few inches too small, and I know that if I can lose the intital 20, I will fit perfectly (as it was my old size). So if I want to fit into the dress I already bought by May 25 ... best get cracking.

I generally tell people not to weigh yourself daily. I am braking this rule for myself. I've realistically measured out how much I should weigh each day in order to reach my goal, which will help me keep moving forward. So using an Excel sheet, I incrimented my weight lost starting from 190.0 which was my weight at the start of the week. In order to meet my goal for the dress I need to loose .3 lbs a day. So I've broken it out like that. The great thing about doing it like this is that if I lose more than estimated, then awesome. So this is the plan, and this is the progress:

Date …… Estimate …… Actual
3/6 …… 190.0 …… 189.5
3/7 …… 189.7 …… 188.3

I am a person of statistics and numbers. And I always did best when I was tracking data. It's insane, I'll give you that, but it kept me on track. Good luck to me and you!
