$2 a day: week three recap

Again, it’s Monday and I hopped on the scale to find more good news today. I weighed in at a cool 260 pounds this morning, putting the running total at 20 pounds thus far. This is great news for me, and it’s nuts to think about how my weight continues to drop in spite of eating decent and drinking a fair amount.

I have been looking through my cupboard and I realize I have a fair amount of food left still. I may have to start scrambling eggs possibly to use them up and I have to really pay attention that in these last days I am eating frequently. I don’t want this food to go to waste, and after it’s all said and done I don’t want to look at what I have left, do some math, and find out that for some reason I was taking in not enough calories/nutrients. It shouldn’t be too hard to keep this up, but I could see it hindering my weight loss a small amount as well.

I am going to make up my last main meal batch today which is the last half of the spaghetti. It’ll be interesting to see how the ½ pound of frozen sausage held up in the freezer this whole time. It’s been in there quite some time so we’ll see how well the flavor is.

I think after I look at the food I have left over and calculate all my average calories, sugar, protein, etc per day thats when I will be able to make a more accurate association of what I want to shoot for in terms of my plan for next month. Once I know more clearly what I can intake to continue dropping weight I should be able to devise a more precise meal plan and present that online.

It’s nuts to think about how I’ve dropped 20 pounds. I feel really good and I moved up a belt loop. Everything feels good to me, I continue to not have problems with hunger and am surprised at how I can eat this little relatively to what I was and be completely okay with it. Things are going well and it’s also crazy to think how close to 30 days it is, the last week really flew by.
