Weigh-in #3 2009 Sick as a dog
Well, I’ve still got a rather nasty cold and unfortunately it means I haven’t got much exercise in the last day or two. I’ve also found that my desire to eat crap food has increased rather dramatically although I’ve managed to restrict it to the odd cup of Milo and a few mini chocolate bars. Not enough to do any damage fortunately.
The Physics Diet Chart is looking good again. For the first time ever I’m under 200 pounds on my Physics Diet rolling average. 199.96 pounds to be precise but I’ll take it!
Actual scale weight dropped from 89.8 kgs last week to 89.3 kgs this week which I’ll take as well. I think it’s official. I’m in onederland as my American readers say.
9 pounds or so till a normal BMI. I never thought I’d get this close. It’s rather exciting actually.
In other news I switched my feedburner subscription over to Google and since then I’ve seen some wild swings in the numbers of readers subscribed. It normally varies between 170-250 so that is a bit odd. Hopefully it will settle down somewhat.

Hi Andrew,
So sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well! Rest up & hopefully you’ll feel better soon!
BTW, if you’d like some support on the eating front, we’ve got a great little group of people who “tweet-what-we-eat” to each other on Twitter. They’re very nice & supportive, & you probably already know some of them from the blogland/twitterverse.
You’re welcome to join us. (It’s part of our “Healthy Eating Initiative,” which you’re also welcome to join, http://tinyurl.com/8nfe22.)
As a helpful suggestion: Do you think you are building in enough “special treats” into your meal plan? As I’m sure you’re probably already well aware, sometimes a desire for “crap food” is really just another signal that you need a treat every so often.
The Milo & the chocolate bars act like a release valve mechanism to take off the pressure.
Congrats on reaching a new milestone on your weight loss!

Nice job Andrew, congratulations! I did not have as far to go as you (as I started at about 210lbs this time last year), but I remember it took a while to get below 200lbs. I plateaued at 207lbs, then 203lbs, then (agonizingly) 201lbs for what seemed like a long while before finally seeing a “1″ at the beginning of my body weight.
Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry to hear you’re under the weather. I have the same problem with the aptly named “crap food” when I’m sick. I’ve always wondered why that is…

Hey dude. I just saw your site on another fellow bloggers site and I thought I’d check it out. Great job on the weight loss and for being under that 200 mark. That is a great accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself.
Hope your feeling better soon as well. I know that sometimes I look forward to getting sick because I tend to eat less then. I guess we all deal with situations differently but our journey is still the same.
Keep up the great work man!
