Weekly Weight Loss
I’ve been doing pretty well with my dieting this week. I’ve managed to lose about 1.12 kg for a calorie shortfall of -1434 kcal. I walked 20 km or so last week and also rode the stationary bike a couple of times when walking wasn’t practical. Without further ado, here’s my chart for the week:
As you can see, I maintained a negative weight trend even though Allyson and I had company over the weekend. This usually spells doom for whatever diet regime I’m currently implementing. I did intentionally slow my weight loss a bit this week. (Note the decreasing slope toward the end of the week.) I started throttling back the weight loss because I was losing a somewhat alarming 1.4 kg/week at the steeper rate, a decrease that I considered unhealthy. I’m trying hard to stay just over 1 kg/week (shortfall of -1500 kcal).
In other news, I managed to (1) procure the new Cisco VPNClient software and (2) actually get it working with UF’s VPN service. It wasn’t working so hot at first, but I determined this afternoon that this was due to interference from my firewall. I need to determine which specific ports I need to leave open for the firewall to work, and I’ll be 100% done.
