Gonna shave my head diet.
My birthday is coming up soon so I want to lose a bit of weight before I shave my head. My hair is pretty long now and it camouflages my chub a bit. A shiny top will offer no such protection.
I've gained a few pounds since moving to the new office. Mostly due to stupidity on my part of staying at the office after core hours. Now I stay only for core hours and walk downtown every night to finish up my daily work. Second "mostly" due to having a Q'Doba right next to the office. bah. I'm so over that shit now.
My new thing for the last couple of weeks is to go to the salad bar at Copps and get me a POUND of salad at the salad bar. Previous to that I had been going to Panera for salad training, but I realized I could do better on my own at Copps. For awhile I was a bit shocked to be hungry again 30 minutes after eating my POUND of salad. Adding more cheese was the solution ( as it is for so many difficult problems. )
Since last Wednesday I have been tracking my weight in the morning and it's been at a consistent 185 lbs. That gives me a BMI of 25.8 or something which is technically overweight ( 24.9 is the border). BMI is derived from the 50th percentile I believe so I probably am still under the arbitrary number as I definitely have more muscle on me than the 50th percentile ( amazing as that might sound ).
So my goal is 175 without muscle loss.
My plan is pretty simple. Cut out most of the shit in my diet that has crept back in. Max of 1 Coke a day (WTF0!) . No daily candybar ( WTF1! ). 1 Coffee (WTF2!). More walking.
Let's see the savings!!!
3 coke = 140 calories *3 = 420
1 candybar = 200
1 coffee = 15 calories * 6 sugars * 1 = 90
-------------
710!!
An extra walking trip downtown and back = 120 * 2 = 240
-----------
950!!
That's a pretty big number, so I don't think I am actually going to limit my intake otherwise. I'll just keep it the same as it is now.
(950 calories * 7 days ) / 3500 calories in a pound of fat = 1.9 lbs per week.
1.9 lbs per week is pretty much perfect. So 5 1/4 weeks for 10 lbs.
So I should be able to mostly get there by my birthday. That is as if..
