My names Aaron and I'm a calor-aholic

This week calories came out fine, should be 15211 / 16596 max.
Did not exercise enough but coming home I contemplated this possibility so :-/ I guess it's ok.

I'm excited for this next week and getting back to ny. Not weighing in this week bc its a diff scale and Im slowing down my weightloss by adding in a few more calories.
 
Wow it has been almost a week since I posted. But I am still on the diet strong, proud that I resisted the temptations of home.

Exercise has been a little, ok a good bit, under what I was hoping for.

I also have resisted the temptations and sunday bright and early is weigh in day. 17 days of progress all at once, it should be dramatic and I am excited to see how much progress I have made.

So running some numbers it looks like I will end up around 8.5-10.5 body fat at the end of my journey! Looking at pictures online I am amazed at the possibility. I am not focusing too much on any particular result my body is different, but i am excited and feeling motivated by it.

today was a rough day. I had one of my cheat days yesterday, still on track, it was within my diet parameters, but I did slow down my weight loss intentionally bc it was giving me some mental trouble and I start grad school so soon! I'm excited!

So back on topic, I had a cheat day, and it was too much. I cheated more than I should have, and drank tons of soda, it was not good. This, in addition to caffeine pills saturday and sunday, and I am feeling unhealthy. Add on top of this that I did not drink my customary pre-weigh in water to flush out excess water weight. All of this, as well as the heightened drama of waiting more than two weeks to weigh in, led to a huge let down. I feel like I am doing so poorly, when I know, rationally ia m doing fine. I am on this diet still, still logging every calorie after 7 weeks. This is huge for me, I have never stuck to a change this well for this long. I am successfully taking off the weight, but I think lately I have let the hhealth focus dissapear. i focused too much on sheer calories eaten and have let exercise slow down as well. I am happy this weigh in showed me everything i have let slide, and I will work hard this next week to fix these things, but I will also remember I have come a long way, I am doing alot to get healthier, and I have stayed the course. If I am going to move forward with this, I need to let it be a natural part of me, and I feel like it is. These are the last thrashings of my bad eating habits, I'm moving back to eating clean again, and maybe I will have to more int he future, but maybe not. I am losing my taste for the real unhealthy foods.

Yeah, I've been kinda slacking. Im watchign what i eat but not counting. I am starting school next week and will be instituting a regular nutrition plan, so that will help ALOT. Big changes in the rest of my life, so this fell by the wayside. Im still losing weight, just being less systematic.
 
On some levels, I guess this is a good thing, It shows I can not count and still exercise self control, self discipline. on the other hand I havent been eating as clean as I should. Portion contorl is my main victory lately.
 
You can do it! Congrats on portion control, thats been really hard for me.

Honestly, this is one thing that snowballs very well. you eat less and your stomach shrinks, and you get a new appreciation for how much you should eat. It just gets easier as you go along until you are SHOCKED how little you eat. You eat amounts the old you would have as a snack, and you still feel full..
 
Wanted to leave a quick update, I have been terribly busy. Down 47.8 pounds and sticking to it. I love the new look, and the new me. It's been incredible... and I am almost there
