9:04 am: Today is the eighth day since I started journaling again and already I'm seeing measurable progress. I'm down about 3 pounds, which isn't much, but is pretty good for a week. In fact, 2 - 3 pounds a week is probably as fast as one would want to go. 2 pounds per week is 20 pounds in 10 weeks or 40 pounds in 20 weeks. I don't think I'll drop 40 pounds in 20 weeks, which would be right around the first or second week of January, but I am hopeful to be back down around 240 by the end of October. Ideally, I can maintain that weight through the holidays and then get a fresh start in January. A key to success will be the types of foods I keep in my apartment, especially through the holidays. Also, I'll probably want to start being something of a low-carb Nazi when I go out and during the holidays.
Referencing the numbers above, 40 pounds would be a whole new reality for me. It would have been 1995 or 1996 since I was at that level. How awesome would that be? The key is focus - maintaining focus on what I'm eating and working out almost every day, even if the workout is a mini like the 110 pushups I did on Monday.
11:10 PM: Had to skip crossfit tonight, but I went ahead and did a bunch of pushups.
