172 April 09 <--- 10% goal reached, 19 pounds lost.
Three pounds lost this week, which takes me to my 10% goal of 19 pounds lost. I fasted three consecutive days this week, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I bicycled 20 miles Saturday.
On my eating days I'm eating very good. Steak from Costco with buttered baked potatoes. Home made soup and chili. Bacon and eggs with biscuits. Pancakes with butter (Kerry Gold grass fed) and organic real maple syrup ($11 for 34 ounces!).
Despite the highly indulgent pancakes and syrup, I have managed to keep other sweets and bad foods out of my mouth. Since January 1, the following favorite foods have not crossed my lips: chocolate anything, ice cream (includes ice cream like foods, such as sherbet or frozen yogurt), pie, cake, donuts, candy, chips (damn I miss Lay's Sour Cream & Onion chips), and pizza. Also no sugary drinks (including fruit juice), but I gave those up years ago.
Now I will work toward my stretch goal of 165 or less. After that, maybe a best hope goal of sub 160.
