Notes:
1:08 pm: Interesting weight readings the last few days. It's an important lesson considering that I've let the diet flag a little bit the last six weeks and thought that I had stopped making progress. But, I'm still logging almost everything that I eat and all in all it hasn't been too bad. Interesting though that I had that donut feast on Wednesday night and the weight still went down. I think what's happening is that the fat is coming off but my body is probably retaining water to keep the weight stable, and so that's why it looks like I'm not making progress when in actuality I am. Then, at a certain point, the body simply makes an adjustment and the difference shows up on the scale. This makes me think that if I keep doing what I'm doing, I could have myself down to 245 or so by the end of September. Reasoning this out, if I can get to 255 by the end of May, that gives me four entire months to get down another 10 pounds to 245. I wonder if that's the wrong goal though. If, by not setting the goal high enough, I end up losing focus and don't make any progress at all. Maybe the goal should be to get under 240 by the end of September. That would be harder, but is also very doable. Then I just maintain that over the holidays and begin a new challenge in mid-January or something like that.
