Weigh-in:
168.6 lb
lost so far:
1.4 lb
still to go:
23.6 lb

Not getting enough sleep - around 5 1/2 to 6 hours. Need to prioritise sleep and water intake. Will order new fridge filter today. Also will work on the parachute stuff (bring computer).
A bit disappointed that my weight moved to 169 but I realise that this is normal and not necessarily a bad sign. Am in PMS time right now at any rate (and probably will lose some water weight next week once my period has started).
Muscle soreness in legs is strong - will walk to medical centre and will also plan to do squats, lunges, etc in late afternoon! Butt and glutes not sore, hamstrings fine but quads are very sore. This is good though! Arms and shoulders are fine today.
Finding that writing down every last calorie really does modify my behaviour - accountability is powerful! I expect that I will lose around 2 lbs a week if I can keep this up (1500 calories per day, at least 30 mins walked daily plus strength training).
Overall really glad that I am doing this! It feels good to take control and lowering the booze intake alone will be extremely helpful!

quads are very sore but it feels good to work the muscles - it will not take long to build up strength. I'd like to build back up to 50 push ups! First goal: FIVE. :D
Today's strength training: upper body. Did 25 pushups in two sets (1 reg, at least 24 from knees); lots of triceps, shoulders and chest using 2.5kg weights (3 sets but not following specific plan). I should use pyramid system and follow specific exercises. For first week, anything I do will be an improvement however! Not sure how much to exercise/rest when sore.
Tips I've gleaned:
* drink water first thing
* drink protein shake after weights workout
* drink more water throughout the day
* more veggies
This week really is a 'record and review' week, to get used to journaling and to get a sense of what my nutrition is like (although I have cut my calories down to 1500 to spur the weight loss now, with an aim to increase lean protein and decrease booze/sugars).
I also need to set goals. According to FS I will lose 1 lb per week eating 1500 calories and doing no extra exercise. 1 1/2 lbs would be ideal but this might be too optimistic over the long haul.
Really not impressed that FS gave a warning when entering a weight that was one pound heavier than previous day (logged as 'dramatic weight gain - 7 lb per week' in the message, or something similar). My weight will fluctuate throughout the week so it is weird that I was encouraged to modify the number before saving it. Otherwise a very good website/programme.
