Day 14 - Chart Your Progress

by Bill Wallace on April 21, 2008

Many of us are visuals and, as the saying goes, “A picture paints a thousand words.”

Having a good read through Leo Babauta’s blog he currently has a guest post by Israel Lagares, the Fat Man Unleashed. And in his blog I saw this really cool application that graphs your weight loss progress.

It’s from skinnyr.com.

I’ve started keeping an Excel spreadsheet of my progress but this tool makes things so much easier AND it comes with HTML.

So without further ado, here’s my graph. Talk about motivating. :)

I’ll update it each week after my weigh-ins.
Challenges coming up this week:

Flying to Melbourne, Victoria for the ANZAC Day parade and football, subsequently staying at a hotel. Propensity for extravagant eating very high.

Plan: talk with consultant at Jenny Craig tonight to get mostly non-frozen food for this week. That way I can take it with me and keep to the diet.

Alternative: take the opportunity to learn to eat smaller portions and watch what I eat without the need for Jenny Craig.

Exercise:

  • Maintain running around 4km each day, or at least 30 minutes with significant running in that time.
  • Hit the gym at the hotel for around 30 minutes a day.
  • Maintain water intake.

This trip wil be an interesting test of fortitude and to mainatin my exercise regime, which is going pretty well at the moment.
