Weigh in 2:15

Back on track.  I got some solid results with some increased discipline.  Tracking calories has definitely helped.  Having a tangible indication that I have eaten enough helps me tremendously because I have a rational counter to any lingering cravings or hunger.  I know that if I give it a few minutes those feelings will pass.  In the moment without that rational trigger it is hard to fight those things.  This week I did not exercise nearly as much as I wanted due to illness.  I did a lot of sleeping this week.  That makes me worry at least a portion of my weight loss was muscle loss, but there isn't a whole lot I can do about that this week.  I know I did what I could.  The next step is to string together a couple more good weeks and break some new ground.  As an immediate goal I would love to be at or below 275 by the last weigh in of May.  I also want at least 3 solid combined cardio and lifting workouts a week.  Here are the numbers for my first week back on track:

Current Weight: 284 lbs
