So I started the month off at 174 pounds. I had actually gotten up to about 178 sometime before that. I weighed myself at the gym today and I weighed in at 166.8 pounds. That's 7.2 pounds that I've lost this month. Since my goal is 2.8 pounds away and I only have 2.5 days to get there, I need to strategize. I think for the remainder of the month, I will consume only warm water and oregano. Perhaps maybe I'll splurge and have some parsley for dessert.
And I will go to the gym for 2 hours per day. There is a step aerobics class on Monday at the gym. Not only does the class make me sweat a lot, I am surrounded by lots of eye candy. Some of my friends have criticized me for taking these classes. They say I look gay. Well, if being gay means being surrounded by a bunch of hot girls it tight shorts and tank tops doing jumping jacks, then sign me up!!!

Project 10 Pounds
So today is the 7th day of my goal for June - to lose 10 pounds. Last Monday I weighed 174. Yesterday morning I weighed 169.8. I have been eating tons of fruits and vegetables - enough to cause a slight bump in the food price index. I have been avoiding junk food, much to my chagrin of my palate.
I have eaten a couple pieces of Wockenfuss peanut butter cups, but have avoided the dreaded cookies, Doritos, and ice cream. I have not had any soda in 2 weeks and had no alcohol last week. I have been snacking on grapes, cherries, carrots, nectarines, blueberries, and strawberries. I did, however, learn today that a banana has about 125 calories, mostly from sugar. But I would have to think that's healthier than 125 calories from Ho-Ho's.
And all this "healthy" eating has not come without consequence. I'm always hungry and my grumpiness index has conversely increased. I have lost 4 pounds, but I'm sure I've contributed 20 pounds of carbon monoxide gas to the atmosphere. "Can you go in the other room if you need to do that?" is the common phrase heard around my house. My co-workers haven't said anything, but I'm sure there aware of rumblings.
