I See A Pattern

I'm going into my second month on my quest to lose 50 pounds by the time I turn 50. My birthday is this Saturday (I'll be 49), so I have a year to go. However, from the time I started until now I've lost almost 18 pounds. So I have a year to lose another 32 pounds. I know I can do that. In fact, I plan to lose 34 pounds which will put me at 200 lbs by the time I'm 50. I can live with that.

Today I weighed myself and I am 234.4 for the second morning. I've noticed that what seems to be happening is that I will lose a pound or more in a matter of a day or so and then level off for a couple days, and then drop again. So, as would be expected, it is not a straight line drop in weight, but more of a stair step drop. At one point I even gained a half a pound. So I see a pattern and as such I can anticipate the manner in which the weight loss will occur.

I plan to splurge and eat at a Korean buffet on my birthday.  I love Korean food (my wife is Korean) and this is an awesome, authentic Korean buffet here in the Atlanta area.  I've found that even if I eat more than I usually do on one day, it doesn't mean I'm going to see a huge weigh gain.  In fact, some of the diets I've been on in the past gave you the weekend to eat whatever you wanted.  I don't plan to do this every weekend, but I will be eating a lot on my birthday.

20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
