Three pounds over two months sounds a bit small-time and petty, but thats the thing: real and sustained weight loss is a slow, unsexy battle. Still 13 lbs away from my low a year ago, and -snort- 51 lbs from having a "normal" BMI (but only 9 lbs from going from "obese" to "overweight") (BMI is kinda suspiciously overly simple.) I could say here that last month was trying, and some bummer times caused me to lose my appetite (bad), and the last few weeks saw some relief from that but saw my appetite come back very strong (also bad). I guess I could focus on the negative, that I'm having a hard time keeping a consistent diet, calorie-wise.
But. Bottom line is I feel physically good despite almost no bike riding these past two months, and during record cold times when most people gain weight, I pushed the needle a reasonable, healthy amount to the left.
Not going to dissect what I did right/wrong or micro-goals for the month, life is still a bit too chaotic. However I will note that my weekend eating has never been better, less going-for-it to get in things I denied myself during the week. Though that sounds like a tossed-off line, in reality that means literally 100s, if not 1000s of calories less per week for my system to handle. That would help explain a continued moderate weight loss, despite being a few hundred calories over my daily budget pretty much every day...
