State of my Diet

April 18th, 2009

Today is the 4th day of my 6-day diet.  I just had my protein shake with 3/4 of a cup of black berries.  The following is how my weight has progressed over the course of the diet:

Day 1: 200.8 17.3% (Before starting the diet)
Day 2: 199.0 17.3%
Day 3: 196.8 17.9%
Day 4: 194.6 17.6% 

I weight myself first thing in the morning for consistency.  At the start, I was a little higher than the 198-ish I had seemed to stabilize at after the first time I did this diet, due to a weekend of overindulgence.

As I’ve mentioned before, the fat percentages are always a bit iffy.  The scale is only so accurate.  So I normally pay more attention to trends than day-by-day values.

6 pounds down in 3 days is great.  I was pretty darn hungry yesterday.  One of these days I’ll figure out what how many calories I really am eating.  I had been thinking 1500, but it might be closer to 1200.

I’m hoping that after this diet run that once my body restabilizes, it’ll be somewhere in the 195 range.
