John’s Ramblings

I’m a numbers guy, so I track and fuss about digits.  Probably too much for my own good.  I figure that if it helps to keep me motivated, what the hell.

The graph above is from FitDay, tracking my weight loss goal that I set back in early December.  Notice how the (red) line of the target weight loss made it’s linear plunge to goal-weight, while John wandered around in the stratosphere, just to make things more challenging.  I started the personal training at Hocevar Performance in late January, where the blue dotted line starts to head southward.

My problem now is those little blips upward you see every 7 days.  “Treat days”.  Not that I’m downing a pint of Ben & Jerry’s or anything, but I’ve been known to have a beer at lunch on Saturday, or a few glasses of wine that night.  It would appear to be counter-productive, and keeping my little blue blips above, rather than below the line.  I think that the degree to which I treat myself needs more careful consideration.  I’m still on target, however.
