It took a little longer than expected to lose 15 pounds especially after losing almost 13 pounds in the first two months. It’s no excuse but in the last month I went out of town on three different occasions - NYC, 2 pounds, Vegas, 1 pound and the most recent trip to San Francisco, 0.5 pounds. The San Francisco trip was a work related conference for a few days and I think they wanted us to have a heart attack with the food that was offered. Breakfast consisted of pastries, bacon and eggs. Lunch was creamy pasta with a wedge salad and leftover bacon from breakfast. Dinner was also swimming in grease but since meals were provided, I was stuck with my oncoming heart attack. I was surprised I only gained half a pound and I assume that is because I worked out both days I was there. Which means I’m dedicated!
I’m happy with the progress and I have to stay focused because this journey is not quite over. My next goal is to attempt at becoming stronger. Which I know will be challenging because I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to lifting weights. It doesn’t help that I feel overwhelmed in the gym but will need to overcome my fear and lift with the big boys.
To summarize: 15 weeks: 16 pounds lost which is about 11% of my body weight.
