Wow... back on track! After 2 weeks of relatively small amounts of weight loss (0.6 pounds and 1.8 pounds) I got back on track with a solid 4.5 pounds this week. Between my ruptured tendon with the resulting inability to exercise in many of my normal ways and my Dad visiting for Father's day with the resulting over consumption last weekend, I hadn't expected this great of a result... How did I achieve the result? My answer upcoming after the weight loss chart. I am down to a svelte 337.5 pounds.
Here is a graph of my weight loss (if you are reading this in the future this graph will have updated for future weigh ins as well)... Clicking the image will open to a larger image.
So while I was not able to do many of my normal exercises (basketball, volleyball, and walking) I have been participating in the 100 pushup challenge training program... The goal of the program is to be able to do 100 consecutive pushups. While only 3 days of exercises it was more than zero. In the end it was 195 more pushups this week than I did last week (or the week before or the week before that 
). With my ankle/foot injury I am not able to do full pushups, but even so 100 consecutive knee pushups will be an incredible accomplishment. Plus maybe by completing the 100 pushup challenge with knee pushups I will then be able to complete it again with either 1 handed knee pushups or full pushups depending on the status of my ankle.
Also on the food front... Once my dad left I got back on the straight and narrow. Perhaps going just a touch overboard on the calorie restriction, but I did eat 4-5 small meals through out the day with the main staples of the my diet being nuts, eggs, and organic chicken hot wing sausages.
Also there is news about my ankle injury (see the next post) which I think will enable me to increase my exercise level a little this week in the form of swimming...
So emboldened by my successful week, which was 4 days (Fri-Mon) of slight to moderate overeating (including 2 pieces of chocolate Father's Day cake my biggest diet sin to date) and 3 days of straight and narrow, I will be setting a 5.5 pound goal for next week.
