Now that's more like it!
Weigh in day today and it was a good one! 263 pounds is what the scale tells me I weighed today. Making for a big 7 pound loss this week and brings the total loss to 59 pounds. Hopefully, we can keep a good weight loss pace going now until my birthday. It looks highly unlikely that my lofty goal of 220 by 2/20 will be attainable but if I can manage a 4 pound per week pace I can get into the 230's or at least the 240's. Truthfully though, my sights are set on next week's weigh in because I've been stuck in these 260's for like two and a half months and I'm need to punch through to the 250's.
Now that my first week of life as a 2nd shifter is behind me I feel that I have found a pretty good daily routine that will hopefully keep me getting up early so I don't fall into that "sleeping in" trap that would be so easy to do as a 2nd shifter. I'm struggling getting the 6th meal into my schedule though right now, I may need to set the alarm earlier or something. 8am breakfast, 11am post workout shake, 215pm lunch, 6pm first break, 9pm second break. I hate to eat after work cuz it is so late and I try to eat lunch as late as I can because 1st break is 3 hrs into my workday. When I go longer than 3 hrs between meals I can really feel it so I try to eat lunch as late as I can.
Now as for my little issue from last week, well I haven't heard from her at all now in over a week. :( I've been listening to friends and most tell me that its more important to stay focused on me and whatever caused this "time out" will pass, hopefully. That is what I intend to do, even though it goes against what my heart is telling me. I can't explain how jumbled up I feel.
