Weekly Weigh-in (Week 35)

It's Sunday yet again, and time for another weigh-in.

This week was a lot better in terms of over eating than last week. I was a lot better about keeping on top of my portions, which was helped by work since it's hard to overeat when you only have enough time to go to Subway and back. The Subway also helped me with my veggie intake. Bell peppers, onions, and black olives may not be much variety, or really enough in a single sandwich to do much, but it feels better having at least some token amount of veggies on a regular basis.

The other big thing that changed this week is the amount and frequency with which I got fruit. At least every day or two I got at some fresh fruit, be it an apple, a plum, or a peach. Much like the veggies, it may not have been enough to really be useful in realistic terms, but at the least it was enough that I feel better about how much fruit I've been getting in my diet. My diet in general has been looking up of late, and that's something I very much am glad for.

I'm looking forwards very much to when it starts being cool enough around Phoenix for me to go out and get to running. I'm hoping to work on getting some more physical activity into my life outside of just work once the weather works more in my favor. I'm hoping to get to a point where I can successfully run 3 miles. Plotting a route is going to be the hard part, but I'll get that done by the time the weather cools. The other thing I've been looking into is the possibility of getting back into doing some martial arts. I feel like they were a good thing for me both physically and mentally, and something I'd like to get back to doing. So that's where I've been recently in terms of my diet and my exercise.

So now we're down to the numbers again. I feel like I did alright this week, so let's see what the scale says: 234.4 this week, down 5.4 pounds from last week.  Big progress this week, here's hoping I can carry that momentum into next week. Until next time readers, eat well and work your way to the you you want to be.
