Fatcamp Update
Dec 16, 2008 30 Days Blogging, Help Yourself
It’s been a week or so since I last talked about my weight loss goals. Let me just say that it is extremely tough to attempt any type of dieting during the holiday season. Random plates of goodies end up at the office and I’ll be damned if I had to try at least one of everything (Note to vendors: I think we need to start new customs of sending baskets of jumpropes to clients!).
Even though I gave in to temptation at the office, I’m still doing well on my moderate weight loss goals. I’m yo-yo’ing like crazy though. I was down 13 lbs from where I started, almost 1/3 my goal, when I weighed in a few days ago. Today I weighed in and I’ve since gained 8 lbs of that back. To be fair, I didn’t weigh my self at the same time I normally do, which is the morning. And it was after I ate a big meal and drank a lot of water. So tomorrow when I weigh in I have a feeling I still have gained a little bit of weight but it won’t be the 8 lbs.
To help track my progress and develop a trend line, I installed The Hacker’s Diet plugin as suggested by John. Now if I could just get him to tell me his secret about getting the charts displayed on a publicly viewable page within WordPress.
In addition, I have been running 2-3 times per week on a regular basis. I also started a very light weight training program, so that when I decide to move to a full weight-training schedule I won’t be too green.
Final Thought: Anyone else see the irony in having a 2-hour long prime-time TV show about losing weight?

Getting the graphic is simple, actually. You’ll kick yourself for not trying this when I tell you. When you are looking at the graph on screen, right-click and choose Copy Image Location. Bingo, you are all set. Add it wherever you wish.
