Day 132 - 233 Days Remaining - 148 Days to First Goal Weight (220 pounds)

I weighed in at 246.4 pounds on my new scale this morning which is roughly 250 pounds on my old scale. That means I haven't lost any ground, but haven't gained any either. From here on out my numbers will be in new scale pounds instead of old scale pounds. So, I have 26.4 pounds to lose before reaching my first goal weight of 220 pounds.

My waist measured 43 inches this morning. That's down one inch from the last time I could find where I recorded it (4 December, 2008). It seems that something is going right even if the weight isn't coming off as I'd like.

The weather was pleasant tonight so I went out and ran about 2.2 miles according to Gmaps Pedometer. I had to dodge a few piles of ice, but for the most part the sidewalks were clear. I did a run/walk with 2:30 minutes running and 1:30 walking. That was harder than I'd intended. I had meant to set it for 2:30 / 2:30, but didn't set my GymBoss properly and didn't notice until 5/6 through the run. It did seem really hard...

Lunch
Salad w/ chicken breast from the cafe'.
This wasn't a huge salad, but the dressing added all the carbs and fat I needed and probably then some. I didn't pack lunch today and that means no afternoon snack as well. Going to be drinking lots of water to get to dinner!
