Well, it was Week 5 weigh-in this morning and once again I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I'd done better on my diet than I had the previous week when I lost 7 pounds, but hadn't done hardly anything in terms of exercise. I was hoping for four pounds lost, as that would put me in a solid position to hit the 20 pound total next week as I had hoped, and 4 pounds is also what the Livestrong.com planner said I should lose by maintaining a 1700 calorie per day diet without factoring in exercise.
Needless to say, I was a bit disappointed when I stepped on the scale and saw I had lost just 2 pounds, and barely at that. I am now off on my target of May 10th for the 20 pound weight loss mark. I doubt I will be able to lose 8 pounds in one week, nor would it be healthy I'm sure. I am refereeing basketball on Saturday, which should be a good workout and hope to get in several walks between now and next Wednesday. 4-5 pounds should be the minimum I think of what is acceptable for next week.
