Here we are week 3! I made it through Thanksgiving without gaining an ounce! I managed to maintain my workout schedule and diet while on vacation with 26 members of my family. My plan of attack for maintaining my diet with this 4 day vacation included:
- Renting a house with fitness center access
- Bringing my core exercise equipment
- I built a food travel kit that included a travel scale, measuring cups, measuring spoons, lots of Tupperware a portable cooler that plugs into my car. So I could pre-package every meal.
Pre-planning was the key to diet/workout success for this vacation. I had all the tools I needed to keep my diet clean and workout schedule! I should be able to duplicate this formula for any future vacations with similar success.
The Thanksgiving feast was the only meal that deviated from my normal diet. I allowed my self a small portion of each item which by my calculations came out to about 1000 calories. I adjusted my diet for the rest of the day to allow for this meal. I missed my night cardio for the 3 nights I was there because the gym closed at 7.
I lost an amazing 6 pounds this week which bring my 21 day total loss to almost 13 pounds. I'm starting to believe I set my goal of 1.5 pounds a week to low. I'm still waiting for the weight loss to slow and normalize to 2-3 pounds per week but it's not showing any sign of slowing. The graph has moved my weight loss goal up to around January 20th. I'm still waiting for a normalization period where the graph will push out closer to March or April to reach my weight loss goal of 190. Not that I'm complaining it just defies what I know about weight loss.
Here are my usual weekly PDF's showing all of my stats for week 3.
