Closing in on 50 lbs!!

I am now 269 lbs. I lost another 3 lbs this week bringing my total to 47.4 lbs in 10 weeks.

I want to hit 50 lbs by next Monday. I have seven days to lose 2.6 lbs. My next checkpoint will be the fourth of July. I want to be down to 250 at that time. I have 5 1/2 weeks to lose 19 lbs. This may be my toughest goal yet. However, it may be time to add a little more challenge to my plan.

Becca and I bought bikes this week. I want to start out riding a few miles a day and work my way up on my distance. I also want to begin walking, running, and biking. Try to mix up the routine and break some of the monotony.

I have had many of you ask for things that I am eating. I have no real clue to tell you how Becca cooks some things. However, I can start giving you some meal ideas that I am eating while out in Jonesboro. For starters, I like Fat City Grill. I will order the grilled chicken platter. It comes with steamed veggies and I add a dry baked potato to the platter. I get a side of barbecue sauce for the chicken and the potato. I already asked and they do not use any butter on the veggies. Be sure to throw the bread stick aside when the plate comes out. Total calories should be around 500 for the platter.

One more idea for you. I don't know if you have seen the new 100 calorie Twinkies and Ding Dongs, but they are excellent. We have not found the Twinkies, but the Ding Dongs are great for curbing that desire for sweets. I will begin passing more food ideas along to you as they come to me.

However, the bike is my new friend and I look forward to seeing my 50 lb mark this week.
