Okay I've been horrible at updating. I got lost in a video game I've been playing -_-;; Anyways I barely wrote down what I've been eating. I had a nacho potluck at work somewhere in there and lots of leftover junk food in the office from that but I can say I still lost weight in the two weeks I was gone!
Weight on the 17th: 156.4 lbs
Weight on 27th: 154.6 lbs
Not too bad?
I wish I would of tracked my calories better so I could of seen how I had lost that weight but at the same time I'm glad I was able to lose the weight without being overly mindful of it.

Woke up and could still tell I was recovering from donating blood. Not sure when I became such a wimp. Anyways, I checked the scale to find I was at 157. Didn't know blood weighed so much. Drank a bunch of water and had breakfast. I didn't get any pictures for today since I was still feeling blah. I also am not working out for the next couple of days just to make sure I heal up okay.

Woke up to find out I was at 157.8 lbs. I'm surprised in all honestly how quickly the weight has been dropping. I can only assume some of it is water weight. So we'll see in the coming days where my weight will be.
When I went to work I remembered they had a blood drive today so I donated. Haven't done it since I was 20 so I decided I should. I used to handle donating fine but maybe since I'm losing weight it didn't go so well for me because I almost passed out on my line. :/
In the end I ate a bunch of extra food which you will see in the break down of my food today. Body needed it and I'd rather gain weight than pass out. :-D
Random fact: It takes about 2 days and 650 calories to replenish the blood you donate.

Monday 01-04-16 Meals
Started the day doing some light exercises like yesterday. I've also begun adding a shot of apple cider vinegar to my water in the mornings. I honestly like the taste of it in my water and I feel a bit better starting my day with it.
Normally I weigh myself everyday to sorta get a feel for how I'm doing. It's interesting to me how slight changes to your diet can change your weight. A great example was the increase in water for me. Sunday I was 159.6 but this morning I was 158.8. The only thing I could think that would of made that much of a difference was increasing my water. Must of flushed out the extra water weight I was carrying.
Kinda curious what my weight will be at tomorrow since I've had some candy, cheese cake and homemade chocolate pretzels. Probably won't matter today since I am under for what I want for calories.
Anyways here is what I ate today.

My Weight Loss Story 2015
In 2014 I was at my heaviest at 180 lbs. Stress, desk job and poor eating habits helped cause a lot of it. I knew I needed to change how I was living if I wanted to get down to a healthier weight.
I decided to move to a different part of the state like I had planned to for years. I ended up finding a home in a small town with no delivery (yeah it's that small of a town) which made me do more cooking/planning at home. After the new year also came a new job. I decided I didn't want another desk job and found a job that require walking and lifting.
The new job was probably one of the best kick starts for my weight loss. It provided me with the exercise my body was lacking and kept me from snacking (no desk, no extra snacking). Doing this for 4 months I was down 12 pounds without any special dieting.
I during this I changed positions in the company, more walking but less heavy lifting. I was worried I'd start gaining the weight back without the lifting so I decided to work on maintaining the weight. Maintaining my current weight turned out to be fairly successful with only fluctuating 3 pounds.
Around the time I wanted to start working towards weight lost again the military diet was brought to my attention so I decided to try it. The first week I follow the diet almost exactly and lost 8 pounds, gained back 3. Feeling pretty good about it I decided to continue the diet but with veggies added.
By the time I was finished with the Military Diet I had lost a total of 11 pounds and choose to use the rest of the year maintaining the weight loss.
Now that it's the New Year and I've kept off 23lbs for the last several months I have decided to start up on weight loss to try for another 20 lbs this year.

Sunday 01-03-16 Meals and Weight
Start Weight: 159.6
Today was the start of my goal to lose 20 lbs this year. Due to this I am going to try to eat between 1400-1800 calories a day. This should hopefully allow for a slower weight loss that will hopefully stay off and not make me hungry during it.
I did work out a bit today. I did squats, crunches and arm exercises with 10 lb and 3 lb weights. Today is also the day worked on meal prep. I made up my lunch for work tomorrow and put a roast in the slow cooker for dinner tonight and this week. I also portioned out 200 cal portions of rice and roasted winter squash.
For the most part I stayed on track for my calories through the website I'm using I'm showing 1751 calories for the day. I also drank about 92 oz of water today. I didn't force it just my body really needed it after the last couple of weeks of alcohol consumption.
Below is what I ate today.
