Yes, I know 20-29 are out of order...

...what I don't know is why, and I don't care enough to delete all the posts and recreate them. So there. :-)

The data in them is correct (like you care), so the information on Day 29 is relative to Day 28, which is relative to Day 27, etc. ad nauseum to Day 20.

One of these days I'll have enough spare time for a screed or two, but for now, it's just the data.

If I use the first 28 days (1/3 of the time) as an indication, I should be able to get down to 292 by my goal date. I actually hope to do better than that, and get closer to 270 by then. If you've been tracking the data (of course you have, you statistic-hungry little buggers) you'll notice that over the past three weeks, my weight's jumped up after Friday, and started going back down on Monday. I'd thought that I could allow myself to relax the rules a bit on Fridays for one meal, but it turns out that's slippery-slope territory. One meal on Friday becomes two meals on Friday, which becomes 2 meals on Saturday too, and what the hell, why not Sunday?

It'll be a little easier on Saturdays now that my ex has moved herself and Daughter about 75 minutes away, since I'll go pick Daughter up to make it to sparring and weapons classes on Saturdays (2.5 hour round trip) and drop her off again (2.5 hour round trip). That will keep me out of the kitchen pretty much all day on Saturdays that Daughter isn't at my house for the weekend...luckily, I have a bunch of audiobooks from Audible.com that I bought and haven't had time to listen to, so I can catch up on those. The trick will be to take enough shakes with me to not get hungry on the drive and succumb to the lure of the drive-thru.
