The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places.

Gosh, I have been dreaming of being overweight for ages. :)

Seriously, before I started this endeavor I wondered at what weight someone is considered obese. Now odly, websites seemed to contradict each other. Several websites using BMI came with different results, then another website using another method would come with something else.  I ended up going with the worst number, 80 Kilo’s.

At Sunday’s weigh in, I hit the weight of 79.9 kilo’s!!!!!!

Yay me for being overweight!!!!

Number of days of good eating habits this week: 6.5 (the buffet wasn’t that healthy veggies wise, but I ate moderately and worked out.)

Additional comments on eating: Pretty uneventful. I think I did well on the buffet actually, ordinarily I would have stuffed mysellf and not able to control myself.

Daily 10.000 steps: YES

Total steps this week: 97.622 steps
Distance walked: 68.3 KM (42.4 miles)

4 days of working out: YES, I did 6.

Daily 2 liters of water: YES

Daily breakfast: YES

Highs: I AM NO LONGER OBESE!!!! Another high light was going to a party with people I hadn’t seen since I before I started, and applause all over.

Lows: It’s getting harder to motivate myself. The weather is absolutely crap for walking, i get rained on, pissed on, I am cold, miserable, and i want to go home.

* I started my program almost 3 weeks before the first weigh in (week 0), but as I can’t be specific I will not count progress for the officially looking stats and monitoring. So week 0 is really week 3. I think I probably lost between 1 and 2 kilo’s a week before week 0.
