Well not stellar weight loss this week but better than the week before. Considering it's NFL playoff season and my hometown team is still in the playoffs, I'm pretty proud of losing a few pounds a week. As long as I don't gain for now, I'm a happy Dood 🤣
So it's Sunday, my regular cheat day. I woke up this morning and weighed myself. I'm happy to report losing another 2.5 to 3 lbs. I'll take that. I had a nice big breakfast of bacon egg and cheese omelette with a side of bacon! I'll be sipping a couple cocktails for playoff day and I've got a pot roast in the over with baked potatoes and I'll be making my homemade gravy. Maybe I'll post the recipe in the next couple days.
Yeah, definitely not the usual diet post here! Still I started at 310 I'm now down to 296. Each week losing a little weight. Currently I'm eating clean. Low fat, lots of chicken, rice, veggies and fruit. I'm not starving myself, and I'm feeling pretty good for the most part.
Right after the Super Bowl I'm going to get a little more hardcore with my dieting. For now eating clean with a weekly cheat day is working so I'm sticking with it until playoff season has ended.
For anyone wondering what a cheat day consists of. For me it's just what it sounds like. I eat whatever I want on that 1 day. Chips, beer, pizza, whatever I feel like. I get it all out of my system and look forward to that day the rest of the week. During the week there is little to no cheating at all. My diet the rest of the week generally consists of salads, fruits, vegetables. I've been doing a lot of rice bowls. My meat intake is minimal at best. I may go a couple days with no meats at all. I'll often do juice or water fasts a day or two a week as well. I'll get a little more detailed with this after playoffs because I'll be getting much serious about it between then and Memorial day (Around end of May)
I did manage to clear off the treadmill. My lower back has been feeling much better so I want to start taking some long walks maybe light jogs on the Treadmill starting next week. That should help too. I'll post some miles in my next update.
So that's where I'm at. Making progress, albeit slowly. If the Buffalo Bills win todays playoff game we'll be one game away from the Super Bowl. I'm pretty excited about that. We haven't been to the Super Bowl since the mid 90's so this is a big deal in my hometown. Anyway, wishing you all a wonder Sunday and best of luck to any Kansas City fans. Mahomes is awesome and when I'm not cheering on the Bills I'm a HUGE Kansas City fan since the Okoye days! God I just really aged myself.
Cheers, and thanks for reading!

Slow steady continuous progress always will get you to where you need to be.
whatever you do don't stop until you hit your goal and enjoy the ride that looks like amazing dinner that you got there as well as extremely healthy.
Excellent job man.
Thanks for the encouragement. My goal is to get below 200 and STAY THERE. Apparently I don't have a hard time reaching that goal, but then put it back on 12 - 18 months later. So, I think I just have to teach myself how to continuously eat healthy. I live in Buffalo NY and our diet tends to consist of beer, pizza, chicken wings and tons of other junk food! LOL The struggle is real. Sincerely, thanks for the words of encouragement.

Actually my health got so much better after I stopped drinking so much beer!
and a healthy diet is definitely a very important thing for someone to have in their life.
You are welcome and I can't wait to see your further success stories and goals being crushed!
Thanks! I'm cooling it on the beers right after the super bowl. They really are a diet killer too! For now, only on game days! 🤣
All things in moderation congratulations on surviving 2020
ENGAGEtokens.Congratulations on your progress!
Looking forward to the Super Bowl! Since my Saints are out of the run I'm cheering on the Chiefs. Mahomes is indeed awesome!
Best of luck to the Bills on their way to the Super Bowl and to you on your way to your goals!
Man what a disappointment! I'm a huge Chiefs fan and dreaded the Buffalo Bills playing them. The game played out pretty much how I predicted. I'll be cheering for the Chiefs in the Super Bowl too. That Mahomes is really terrific to watch! Should be an exciting super bowl for sure!
Any progress is good. I like the idea of cheat days. I don't generally diet, but I reckon I can have some treats if I run. We had an Indian takeaway on Friday and it was so much food!

I've always done cheat days accept when I did KETO. You can't really cheat on keto or you know yourself out of ketosis.
I think cheat days are a great way to diet though. It's like a reward for not cheating the rest of the week. The damage is minimal if you get right back on the wagon and of couse not cheat anymore throughout the week. On top of that it kills any cravings you might have. Get them out of the way, then back to business the following day.
I've been craving some good Indian food. We just had a new place open in the neighborhood, I may have to check it out soon! I need to start light jogs again too! That definitely helps improve on the diet results.
