Goals Revisited

This post on February 8 says I weighed 116 kg (256 lbs) on February. I said that I will try to lose 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) every month since then. And that I will hit 80 kg (176 lb) in three years time, as that is the weight I would like to stay at; though I agree that still puts me in the overweight category.

There were other behavioural goals that I had set. Haven't been able to stick with a single one of them consistently, but have been practising all of them on and off.

So, in the four months that I spent in tableegh, I lost quite a bit of weight. And then there was Ramadan, in which I lost some more, and then I came to US, and lost a little more.

Mar, April, May, Jule, July, Aug, Sep - that's seven months. The plan was to lose 3.3 lb per month, now that I look back my average has been 5 lb/month, roughly speaking.

The new goal that I am setting for myself is losing 4 lb/month. Which means 1lb/week. Which means a daily caloric deficit of 500 Kcal (3500 Kcal make one pound of fat). This is challenging, as I am eating like a horse.

Today is September 15, I am still at 219/220 lb mark. Need to lose these 3/4 lb in the next 15 days.

To summarize, the goals now are:
- 1lb/week or 4lb/ month
- 196 lb on Oct 1
- 192 lb on Nov 1
- 188 lb on Dec 1
- 184 lb on Jan 1, 2014
- 180 lb on Feb 1, 2014
- 176 lb on Mar 1, 2014.

Behavioural goals?
- For now, it's just sticking with 5x5.
- Eating three meals a day.
- Breakfast: Omelette or Cereal; Lunch: Omelette/Fruits; Dinner: Omelette/Chicken/Fish/Meat/Lentils
- [Will throw in 15 minutes of cardio five days a week]

This is tough, but this will have to do. The boredom at home makes is really easy to just keep making Nutella sandwiches, or eating Hershey's or Dried fruits as it some zero calorie snack. Gotta work on that and control the chubs.
