This was quite the week on the weight loss front! I had a very difficult time eating in the calorie range I had set for myself. For one thing I was feeling hungry and for another I got into crackers and cheese. I was feeling hungry because I over indulged in the first three days not by a lot but above my desired goal-60-200 calories a day more. The next 4 days I had to reduce to below my plan to make the week average in the zone I was looking for. That was why I was dealing with hunger! So in the end a 0.6 loss was a victory on a couple of levels. One it was a loss, damnit! Two it bore out the idea of eating in the window I set was correct. When the week ended I averaged 40 calories above the high end of the window. Clearly had I been in the middle of the window the loss would have been greater. The system works-- no magic about why the loss was so modest and no magic about what I need to do to have a 1-2 pound weekly loss. And three - slow and steady eating every day means that I am not having to 'over correct' just to get back into the middle. It is like driving a car -- the first over large swerve leads to more and more over correcting that can land you in the ditch. How is that for a metaphor?

Nothing particularly earth shattering this week on the home front. Basically moved a number of projects a little bit forwards - met with contractors on renos, met with potential buyers for a few of my things, that sort of thing.

My biggest accomplishment this week has been around implementing a mindful meditation practice. This is new to me. I began by reading a book my sister lent me and am two weeks into the 8 week program of how to grow a mindful meditation practice. I am finding it to be a positive piece in my life. It is early days thus far. As of yesterday I meditated a total of 30 minutes over two times. Eventually the goal is 45 minutes a day according to what I have read so far. I figure I have 45 minutes in my day to work on bringing my busy mind and body some peace and quiet!

It is such a relief to know the science behind weight loss, isn't it. Makes this so much easier. :)

LZenn I so agree. Once I took the 'magic' out of why I lost or gained weight I had so much more power in this area of my life. I remember 20 years ago when I was in a constant state of not knowing why I was 180 pounds over weight and no clear idea of what to do about it as I felt (correctly) that the foods I ate were healthy however my portion sizes were totally out of whack and I didn't account for the condiments including butter. Huge learning curve. Glad to have that behind me! Since then I have lost over 100 pounds two different times. There were years of maintenance in the middle there. However the fact is that I allowed myself to be in the predicament of having gained a substantial amount and having to lose it again. This time I have a much clearer idea how to make this present weight loss event to be in fact my last time to have to do this.
